Keith84: I think you should extend your budget for the wheels. $10,000 ain't much. Wheels are the most important step in modifying the car. They cost a lot and you don't want to change them often. I would rather save up on a nice set of rims and lower the car.

Sorry, but I really doubt a 525i can do 240kms unless maybe on a autobahn, HK roads are too short for a 525i to get up to that speed.
even if the car can do that speed I would never do it on the little road, max 140km on tai po road in the e60, I think I can push it more if I change my springs.
they are 2 big road that I have done this speed, try the airport road or the the road going to yeun long from sai tin,
my boss has done 260 to the airport in his Ferrari360, it not that hard you just got to had the balls to get to that speed. I tell you, your hart beats a 1000 time faster when doing that speed.
maybe we can try it 1 day.

I never say that I did it in the S2000, this car is only good in little roads like Sek O or Sai kung not big roads. The S2000 has a hard time following me on the big roads even it still has 280hp, it not design for top speeds
Once upon a time, an E60 did 220... oh wait should read 140
Or maybe we all got it wrong, when you say you did 220km you mean you drove around for 220km as in mileage not speed right

So one post you say you did 220, then you say you would never do that speed. Which story should we trust? This sounds like a fairy tale to me now
Once upon a time, an E60 did 220... oh wait should read 140
trust all of them from aguy that was band from speeding in HK or we can have a meet and try it out to see if our cars can do 230
Or maybe we all got it wrong, when you say you did 220km you mean you drove around for 220km as in mileage not speed right

you dont think I was doing 230km on little roads do you???
even if the car can do that speed I would never do it on the little road, max 140km on tai po road in the e60, I think I can push it more if I change my springs.
they are 2 big road that I have done this speed, try the airport road or the the road going to yeun long from sai tin,
my boss has done 260 to the airport in his Ferrari360, it not that hard you just got to had the balls to get to that speed. I tell you, your hart beats a 1000 time faster when doing that speed.

For a Ferrari 360 of course you can get up to that speed, I did over 270kms in my 360 and did 250 in my M5. I am just saying for a 525i is near impossible to get up to that speed.
maybe with some engine mod then I can do it, reprogram the computer to get it to over 200hp
what is it like in the M5 compare to 360 doing that speed.
