WOW another car!?!?! another BMW for that matter... well if your wife knows how to drive manual and understands the shifting then she might enjoy shifting a SMG... its really smooth when you kshift manually and when you know how... and no clutch work so its easy enough.

Argh no, definitely not right away. Need to save up for a parking space first, then the car. You know in HK, parking spaces are such luxuries I've always wanted to own a convertible. Actually, I dont hv any training either, the only manual shift lesson I had taken was on a motocycle. But I think I know the concept

PS unless I win the lottery.....then that's a different scenario...haha

Not sure if you already know, BMW HK service center has a ding removal service for HK$500 per ding. Not bad. And paint touch up is free of charge.

FYI>

Thats very expensive. We're looking at about SGD 20.00 for one ding. For that kind of money, you can have at least half a dozen dings removed.

Oh wow, that's alot cheaper, and I thought it was a good deal... Then again, all things done at the BMW shop are more expensive. Bastards ! haha...

Hi Guys

I found this company while surfing the web (based in Taiwan) :

http://www.zenner-tuning.com/technologyproducts.php

The supercharger is most interesting, gf366, u can make your car run 0-100km/h in 5.3 sec with the supercharger !!! That's almost M5 performance.

Bunbun.

Sorry guys, I've been in China working thru the weekend

Bunbun: Oops, it's not some hip items, just some "hobbies" i've got - Panerai is the watch, and O2 Mini is the PDA phone...

EBMCS03: Na... I need to work really hard now... And I really have to control myself on spending thesedays

I forgot about the address of the shop, it's not actually in MK, it's in Hung Hom, very close to BMW kowloon... Let me know if you wanna dropby afterwork, we may go together
