Seems you have a bad experience with Tony! But I heard many ppl black listed this shop... ...

I think places like that are only OK to change oem parts like spring, wheel, oil, filter change, but I dont think they are good to fixing stuff, unlike sing fai which he can fix stuff and not sell sell sell like other shops.

To be fair, this shop is not that bad, the painting is excellent, just the fit is not perfect but absolutely acceptable.

I paid $29000 for the m-kit (parts and labour) at SPS.
$500 more than BMW HK. But I got it installed when my car was 2 months new. Whereas i had to wait 6 months before BMW HK was willing to do it without taxing me. So I guess the $500 was the premium that i need to pay for having the kit 4months earlier. Hahaha... I know, it's just an excuse that I use to comfort myself for paying more.
On the topic of SPS Automotive, they now have a McLaren F1

has anybody successfully installed a 3rd party GPS system such that the display comes out from the iDrive in hk? or any GPS setup that works?

there's a software by the name of mapking which is catered to hong kong's needs.
