My Ride: BMW E60 530i , Silver with leather Air Con iDrive 17" Breyton Rims with Dunlop Sp Sport tyres (M-Tech Bodykit and rims WANTED)
Alfa Romeo 147 TS1.6 , Black with Air Con 17" Multi Spoke alloys with Bridgestone RE040 tyres
Toyota MR-S 1.8 VVTI , Lagoon Blue with Red leather Air Con 15" standard alloys with Toyo tyres
Toyota Celica 1.8 VVTI, Lagoon Blue, Air Con, 16" Standard alloys with Kuhmo KU31, EBC Green Stuff
the visiblity is better, ride is better, easier to park, quieter exhaust note and better fuel economy.
Need i say more??
And the engine power is more linear than those mighty Ferrari or Lambo.

But i am sure Lambo still no match with Porsche in terms of "drive", Ferrari might do
But man, we cant say anything as we cant afford to own these cars

Why has everything to do with driving be related to TMS? Fact is that a Lambo or Ferrari is much harder to control than a Porsche - hence why you see SO many Porsches around. It is an everyday super car which anyone can drive, even women! ha ha ha
It is very hard to drive super cars such as Murcielago because of the sheer power despite it being 4wd.

But in HK, agreed with Mark and Keith, that Porsche should be more easy to drive when compare to Ferrari and Lambos, also according to my friend who own Porsche and F430

this is ok as long as you not keeping the car for a long time like me over 6 years.
also it is all down to how you drive the car and if you rev it all the time like me then I would change the oil sooner but if you drive like my mum at 3k rpm then it is ok to change it abit longer
you do know why they say this, if you change it sooner then the engine will last even longer and you will never have to buy other BMW just kidding.
you should let the BMW service center show you the oil after 25000km you will not like it at all.
after seeing it you will think twice on changing the oil at there computer rate.
the funny thing is I was talking to the mechanics at BMW and on the side the guy told me dont go buy the computer to change oil do it at 10k or less
KC said this when he got is BMW too and now he changes sooner than the computer says or KC you still do it at 20000 each time

Engine oil will turn into dark colour as soon as you pour them into the engine. It's what engine oil is build for. The important parameter is to check whether the viscosity remain working condition.
