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:
I have seen some for $1800 and no need to update the CIP too.

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....
that not that right way
1. bang the filter until all the crap is out.
2. you should use some water and the bottle of K&N cleaner or firey liquid to get the oil out.
3. levea to dry.
4. spray the oil back onto the filter but don`t spray too much cos it will run into the engine.

this is how I clean my filter and I only clean it on sunny days so it will dry quiker.

hello mic25

let me ask you guys I wanted to know is HK the only city/country that is tax& duty free location in asia??
which other countries are tax free like it?

please advise..
thank you
Tony.
if you are saying tax free in HK, itis not on cars.
cars and car parts is over 100% tax :thumbsdown: unless buy from black market.
so buy a BMW in HK is like buying 2 for the price of 1 in UK. :thumbsdown:

Yup, and the date of registration is Jan 9, 2007 so is spanking new. No wonder he was smiling at me last time he drove his MB by.
