I've just had 3 dings removed by BMW HK (Chaiwan). They did a pretty good job and explained to me how their guy did the removal. Say...it only cost me HKD800 for the three dings removed.

BTW, not all dings can be removed. They said that it depends on the location and size of the ding.

The best part I like about the way they do the removal is that they do not remove the door panels to undo door dings. I was concerned about panel rattling afterwards so was glad that the panels needed not come off.

Hi Oliver

Heh heh, maybe the price goes down with multiple dings. And yes, the one that I had could not be completely removed because it was too close to the crease But the guy at the service centre didnt charge me this time, maybe because I bought the M-Kit from him..heh.

Hi ac388

When I changed my wheels to 17" (and runflat Dunlops), they had to do a "initialize tire pressure" in the I-Drive menu. But I dont think it makes the ride smoother, just a recalibration for the I-Drive to monitor tire pressure.

How do u like your new wheels/tires? What brand of tires did u choose?

Hi Bunbun. Mine came with the car phone; so I don't know too much about the blue tooth thing. However, since yours is not enabled, why don't you purchase either the Motorola or Nokia blue tooth kit from your phone dealer? You might not have the luxury of hooking it up to your I-drive but it sure beats having a wire dangling from your ear.

Check out this nokia link.

Hi Edlee, I do hv a Jabra, just thought it would be cool to use the communications button on my steering wheel I also find BT earpieces too Star Treky for my taste (still I use it... )

Hi Guys

Saw another forum member from the USA going to replace his stock air filter with K&N high performance filter. After doing some research on the K&N site, seems like relatively easy way to add performance. Has anyone tried to replace theirs? good results? I might consider doing it. Will let u know.

There is no BT in HK cars. It costs 15 or 18K HKD. Very costly.... I mean you can get several real nice phones....
Are any of you guys motorcycle riders?
