worth nothing if you don't want (not need) it, I sold the old one and bought a new one when it first released and shoot those models in HKJC, so it worths for me.

20" are so expensive, not too practical on HK roads as well.

just forget the wheels, you will be fine with the 16"

all F10 in HK will come with 18" so you will have a unique look. just don't park near those bmx bikes when going Tai Po or you will have a hard time finding your car.

and we have to cut the whole front end off and stick another one on, better you sell this car +the new model will come out and it will be worth jackshit, buy a new car now,.....blah blah blah....
i have heard the Nissans are more reliable and cheap to repair nowadays, i think there's a luxury model called a GTR -stands for 'Good times relaxation' "
Hahaa...thanks for your suggestion Bill, sounds thats the way how you convincing your wife to let you mod the cars

GT-R or Z4 will be the second car, so the E60 will still need to repair --> back to the standard M sport
