I am ok wow, not feeling too narrow, plus the good handling of E60, I feel good (I am driving very very slow). Last time I go there is about 10 years before when I get the license and first car. At that time, there is not much driving experiences, so brave I was! So scared looking backward

haha, the Japan guy won't answer. They will direct your email to CHina, who is the AD of the china region. The price are same, but would have 80% discount if you buy all.


Thanks, Bill. Your car is excellence. Hope we can meet later ah.
For the Exhaust, haha, i really want to have it, but not at this moment. Because i just install the M-teck kit + FSD+ advan RS in same month. I already kneel on durian after my wife knew that. hahahahaha!!!!

My Ride: Mini Cooper
Default

did the drive at repulse bay today
Z4 2.3 and 528 with sport
Z4 2.3 steeling has very little feedback from the road, its like driving a robot ( our e60 is better than this car for road feel.
but the handling is OK. Will not buy 1 now unless the 35 is much better
the f10 is very nice, I like it, the Chassis is 100% stiffer than our e60 and feel very solid, it like adding the 3 bars as standard.
as for the 2.8 the power is there but need to push abit deeper for the power to come unlike our cars with SB.
I bet installed SB will be much more fun.
I tryed out the sport mode for the subspention and it is much sharper and the gas has less lag. ( this is not DD by the way )
I hope when they bring out the the 2.5 will have the sport mode too.
1 think bad about the car is it feel big compare to our e60, much more big :thumbsdown:

4] it is a must have, i had quads on my E60, it felt like a supercar everyday,
and now i also have Quads, but i was able to have them custom tuned to silent (>4-6db v stock) under everyday use and howling when i put it on full throttle

enjoy your car, enjoy the soundtrack from the sports exhaust, it's a must have!!!!
call William and it will be fitted in 30mins and Civic boys will get out of your way like
Moses parting the Red Sea
Our great guy here is more worried about the noise that can attract the unnecessary attention from the Mrs. and thus causing the Durian "inappropriately" being shoved up his ass

Yeah, cant agree anymore!

i had driven the Z4 23i and 535i F10 too

Both cars had great chassis and feels very solid indeed, but as we discussed after the test drive with KC and pingu,
the handling feels very artificial on both cars and i think it is backward moving for traditional BMWness handling :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

front + rear + side skirt = $24600+ shipping $6000
the exhaust is DTM, need $14500
The wheel is 19', morphea by Wald, $6500/ each,
still not include the installation and painting , crazy expensive!!!!!
Top One is quite expensive since they charge just a notch below the original, Wald in this case
