Hey sliu_uu, yes Im back. Too bad I missed the BMW event. Saw them setting up the place tho as I go to the Fairwood at Far East Financial Centre everyday for breakfast. It is unfortunate the part of the lot is leased out to Sino, otherwise u'll hv more room to play with. I've been reading so many great reviews on the 335ic, so the 325ic shouldn't too bad right? Hey you coming to the BBQ next week? u hvn't signed up yet.

I like the 3-coupe. I think it would be better 335i

I also went to the BMW Driver day. My time slot was 12:40pm, & one of the drivers in the group b4 me, driving the 130i, managed to understeer off track, despite warnings by the Aussie instructor.
I found the Z4 & X3 to be the worst of the lot when pushed. The 130i & the 325i has best balance, & 130i has the best steering.

I found the 130i to be the worst balance of the bunch we've tested. Although it got plenty of power but it definitely needs mods to tame the power.
