Have a great weekend guys.

Have some news regarding the E60 movement, one of my neighbour who also have a W211 got a brand new 530i. I guess MB folks are starting to realize the brutal truth about the ultimate driving machine. The person sounds like you Steve
Your neighbour is another WISE decision maker in 2007!!!!!
I should have owned this e60 baby much earlier!!!

I`m going to get the LCD light, how much are they?
$1800? or more
can some 1 tell me thanks
Pingu, which LED tails are you planning to get? I'm pretty sure the facelifted OEM LEDs will be much more than $1800, the E46 LED tails cost around $2500 in BMWHK, so I think for a 5er, they will sell it for around $4000, they probably need to update the CIP to 24.1 or higher, which means other than the main dealer, you can't go anywhere for this retrofit. :thumbsdown:

It is never too late to get away from the dark side.
Eventually, people will realize MBs are just some super expensive Chryslers.

you are lucky that they did not throw it away
Did you clean it? K&N
I`m going to clean my today.
Yes, as we speak, Im sucking the dust and grit out with my vacuum cleaner, hope it's the right way to do it. Instruction says to clean it with some kind of oil, which I cant be bothered, sounds like a mess....

Master Bun, did you put the sticker "Do not replace" that came with the K&N box? There were some substanial difference when the car start off from a standstill, the pick up is much faster. I did a "on the butt" test with sliu_uu last week, and obviously, my car went off the line faster than his, but still, I'm not sure why AC_S5's car, with the same engine, same K&N filter is the fastest among our 523s.
Oh man, you guys did a drag race ? haha... should've asked me to come along too...hehe

I don't think guys at BMW would have second thoughts about removing your filter. But is a good thing they left it there.

When did you guys did the test, we should do the test once more with my car to confirm that because is sounds like you are saying that I have a heavy foot although my engine note is different than yours but I don't think it will be faster, you are just jealous of my engine note
Just curious, why is your engine note different? Did u buy a mod tail pipe recently?
