I smell the same, bro!
But wouldn't it happen until the main land property market sinks first?

You would find a hard time when trying to advance those A4 2.0T Qtro... Or even a heavily modded Mit. Evo ? ...

So combine those 272 ps with BMW's mighty NA6,which always keeps very high-revs when push hard, it is no unusual found that 272 ps?306 ps. And yes I find 306 ps is sometimes difficult to use up all at cornering.
But I just like to have faster straight-acceleration, especially after traffic light.
Does anyone remember how and when did the turbo charged engines died to the N.A. engines? Isn't it because of the economy crisis of Japan in the '80s? I am not certain, could someone please fill me up please?

Something is going to happen.... esp if Greece goes under!

Speaking to my banking clients, they are all preparing for the market to crash.... We are going to see US go tits up again soon....

KC gor; it is Danny who found N55 affected by the temp and humidity.
Althought my is the same, I not yet find this or my sense too low,
You must noticed the mileage was insane many, 'cause I running China-HK 1 to 2 times a month, but actually I bought it from bmwhk brand new.
