We've also ordered a F20 1 series
BMW is so different from other cars we have driven

Let me know what you think of the new 1 series. It's nice to have a smaller car for the city commute especially in Central, CWB, and Mong Kok haha!

I don't think I will ever sell the e38. Unfortunately I don't have the time to drive the older cars since I work in Shenzhen and Dongguan as well. Once Christmas comes around I will have more time to take care of them.

You're in the manufacturing business as well I presume?

Thanks for all the warm welcome Guys!

Yeah, manufacturing business! Usually same day return for me, I don't bother to stay in China overnight, otherwise my tiger will think of me too much...
I still miss my E38 as it's actually a BMW individual production, with all those gadgets that cannot be found on a E66!! It's engine still runs extremely strong even at 360K km!!

SZ, close to SZ/DG border.
For me, I only drive the exact route from HK office to factory, I wouldn't drive to other places unless I really have to (site visit with customer, etc). HK/China plates are drawing too much attention from our mainland comrades when we wander in some remote places!!
