2.0 engine should be lighter than the i6 so better for acceleration comparatively.

just 1 year has mileage 73688KM? Maybe a typo....7368KM is more reasonable, otherwise it should be a HK - China cross boarder car.

Please let me know your comments on the EBC Redstuff Ceramic brake pad. I am think to change mine. My critical considerations are less dust than stock brake and no/less squeaking sound.

Other bros, please also let me know what you are/were using and your comments. Also welcome ex-e60 owner's comments

thanks all.

RC3, no it won't, the spark enhanced coils can easily be replaced with your original coils, plug and play only, like Sprint Booster
