I will still keep the car for another 2 years after this, but if it still playing up.
Will probably trade in for a 2006 or 2007 7 series first,

then get a new/2nd hand F10, CLS, A7 or Panamera after 2 years time.
Keith san, will you consider to marry the same woman who will give you a different life twice?

ricky some info on your friends cars with the 35i engine
ask BMWHK if they will extend the emissions warranty coverage period to 10 years or 120,000 miles
it is in the US but don't know if this count for HK or other places

BMW has discovered that certain 2007-2010 model year vehicles may experience partial failure of the High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) which is part of the direct fuel injection system on certain 1 Series, 3 Series, 5 Series, X6, and Z4 models. Specifically, vehicles powered by the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 engine (internally dubbed "N54") are affected. Symptoms include long engine starting times and sometimes the illumination of the Service Engine Soon lamp in the instrument cluster, possibly accompanied by reduced engine performance (Fail Safe operation).

he drive it daily so I dont think he wants a car that cost about $5 per km

I never dose not make sense unless you got loads of $$$
if I would spend $5 per km then it got to be a true sports car like ET.

HPFP problem have long been a problem for older 335i engines, but seems no one in Hong Kong has mentioned it.
