Haha, funny I never noticed the white bars before, I have to take a look today. Last week I found two parallel and vertical dents on my upper rear bumper near the trunk opening, I suspect it's courtesy of Mrs Bunbun... :thumbsdown: But she didnt say anything.
Btw, anyone here has driven a Z4? How does it drive?

I drove one before, it's a fun car to drive and handling well. But the front end a bit too long for a small car!

Thanks for the answer, but you know those white bars are really a nuisence. I am so use to having none at all, guess I have to get use to it again. As for the fuel consumption, I think a heavy foot combine with some idling in traffic cause it as I drove a good 30 mins the consumption didn't drop. Than when I reset it and drive it normally for another 30 mins, the consumption is at 16L/100km which pretty normal for city driving.

I think my car also got a CIP updates, I don't really know what problem it fix, but now the iDrive will stay in the screen that I was previously using. Like if I were controlling my CD before I shut the car off, the iDrive will stay in the Entertainment screen instead of going back to the four arrows and the iDrive knob.

True, but still can't beat the feeling of a 2 door like Porsche, Ferrari and the likes you know....

Ah, I left out one important factor, I dont know how to drive stick....hahaha. So all the fun cars like Evo, WRX..etc. out of the question. I did once test drove a Supra (last model), it was fast !!! Lately I hear the VW Golf GTI is a very good sports car. And price is very reasonable. Anyone tried this car? Im seeing alot more on the streets nowadays. I just saw a carpark space for rent sign at my home's lobby, HK$2,600 for uncover parking.... :thumbsdown:
... ... it's $$$$!!! GTI is a very good car, especially with the DSG. I test drive it with my colleague before, but still not a sport car feeling AC_S5 mentioned.

I hear DSG is the fastest shifting e-gear in the market, even faster than Ferrari's. I see second hand GTIs at around low to mid 200Ks, very attractive. I wonder if its interior makes as much noise as our E60...haha.

Bad day today.... 
My windshield was cracked this morning. A flying stone from a truck on Route 3 cracked the windshield. The damage is quite obvious, need to replace the whole thing.
