Production start from next month, 2012 528i shall tucked with 2.0 Twin Power, good for 240 ps.
Through sacraifice I6's smoothness, it's 30% more torque at 1250 rpm and the most important, a potential modable engine!

If you don't mind size, I think M3 E90 (not E92) is the best buy too.
kieth ask Mike if he is selling his M3
it maybe $600k now

didn't matter to me, they never change the spark plug anyway, if u wanna be sure, ask AK, under which service "light" that your car reminds you is the "light" that bmwhk claims would change the spark plugs, then replace the coils before u send the car.

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


thanks all.
DO NOT GET EBC :thumbsdown:
Hawk or Ferodo is 1000 time better than EBC
also for the price it is not worth it at all.
AK will tell you.
But if you like them get kieth to sell his set to you he what to change to better pads.
