Yeah, I did. Most probably is the wheel repairer didn't inflate the tyre properly, or I should have resetted the i-drive after repairing the wheel.

I will take a look at the Llumar film, thanks Eric.

2 more posts and we will achieve the 3000 post milestone!!!
Yeah you should reset the tyre pressure monitor everytime you fiddle with the wheels.

I am thinking about getting some tints too as sometimes it is very hot in the sun, but still better than riding my bike now I understand why biker go through traffic like this, when you are under the sun and not moving, your skins feels like burning. I am now getting better and better going through traffic, takes me 15 mins to go from TST to Wan Chai on my bike.

Another thing I am worry about getting tints is the possibilities of getting pull over more often. What do you guys think?

That's why I am looking for those lightly tinted film instead of the super dark tints, like what Leon Lai got on his cars. I read from the Chinese car magazines about the 3M films, and they looks ok.

I am not talking about super dark, of course those will get pull over as soon as the cop sees you. But those lightly smoked ones where you can still see the person inside the car. How about those, I see some people got it.

I just got pull over and issued a inspection check date two weeks ago. My tint wasn't even dark and it was daytime where the cops can see very clearly. I think they just don't like any tinted windows.

Are you selling OEM stuff, or just some mock up?

They are very close to OEM quality but not OEM. BMW never makes any LED tail lamps for E60. Only the brake lights are LED. However, you can change the turn signal to any LED bulbs on the market. It's a very simple replacement.
