Hope Caltex's quality is close to what it's selling HK, that's why I usually rather go some 3 KMs far to fuel up at SZ.

There were some 80 bimmers gathered last time you joined, a great event!
Next I might join you
Our '04 E66 has 250K km on the clock, it drinks China fuel since it's 1 year old, so there is no need to worry.

if drink china petrol and do 20000km a year in china, then I would change fuel filter every year.
Is that true? I think you would imagine most local mainland people are with 8 eye balls and were able to do a fire breathe?

Fuel pump usually last 80K-90K km (typical wear and tear), which would cost you a few thousand HKD, I don't see a point to worry.
If you're referring to our car's high mileage, we enjoyed every penny out of our car, we don't want it just park and wear.
Some do a few thousand KM per year, and sell it after 3 years, and lost 50% of the original car cost, that means a much higher cost of ownership. As long as you enjoy the car, regular wear and tear means nothing, we have been prepared for that cost since the day we sign the contract to take the car.
