got my car back from bmwhk today and decided to change to the tinted plates. some pictures...
i was told to bring the car together with all remotes+keys back at some point later to reprogram the onboard computer software to a newer version. interesting... looking at some other mail threads, not sure if this is a good idea or not. when i asked which version are they going to program, that guy didn't know. i think it's a december 2006 version as the paper says "target data status: e60-12-2006". something like that.

i think they did a routine check on the car and advised for upgrade. there are several components that needs upgrading according to the report and one of which is the ipod upgrade of some sort (at least, the description has the word "ipod"). i guess you could also send in your e60 for the software upgrade if you like.

Haha...is anyone been there before? Interesting...how does the theater transmit the sound? Through radio channel?
I just found out from my frend in LA, that most of them are closed down, so I don`t know why they have got 1 in HK.
I will not go there in the summer when itis over 35c. no air-con

oh well, had to change it back in the end as my other half didn't like the looks of it.
my 2nd half don`t like me moding the car, but I say no I will go ahead and mod it. Not your car so no say.
If it was her car then I would not do anything t it

never been and I think the sound will be $hit too. No DTS or 5.1.
