Hi all -
I recently joined the E60 forum and did not know about the HK sub forum until now. I'm a HK native but moved to US since I was a kid (> 20 yrs). Anyway, I'll be back there for a visit soon and am wondering where is good spot to go for E60 parts and accessories. I love to meet you guys too but my ride is not with me, not to mention all the things wife and kids want to do in such a tight schedule. So, any suggestons would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Hey all,
I have a 525i and am brand new to this forum. I am looking to start modding my car soon and want to know what is a good shop in Hong Kong (preferably a shop that works on BMWs and in HK side?) that you guys can recommend to me. My old car was the Evolution VIII; I don't want to do too much to the 5 series though - just some light mods for looks and sound -
- Drop it on Eibach
- 19 inch rims
- Subwoofer
- Front Lip
- Side skirts
- Hamann Rear
- Quad exhaust
- Intake
- Chip
- Sway bars
- Also want to upgrade to Xenons (do I have any other options besides OEM??)
Thank you for your help !

Thanks!
Since this is my first time modding a beamer, I am not that familiar with all the brands. Are there a good online shop I may check out 5 series parts?
I was just thinking of fitting an ACS front lip onto the car cause it's more subtle than the hamann kit (which has a huge opening for the intercooler). As for intake and chip I have no idea what brands are out there. Exhaust - borla or hamann exhaust. I want to get aftermarket xenons as well but I don't know a good shop that can install it and doesn't it void the warranty? Rims - HRD or iforge rims for the car.
There are no pics of my car yet since it is still currently stock but I hope in 2 months I can get all the mods I want get it done - can you recommend a good shop for me to contact for a quote?

Thanks Keith. I will be looking for after market stuff like you said. I know where Monk Kok is, I'm not that out of touch....yet. I think I know which one you are talking, there are a few accessory stores around the playground near the famous "sneakers" street. I used to shop there for my integra. I didn't know they carry stuff for BMW.
I posted a few pix of my ride in the gallery, please feel free to check it out.
Thanks,
David

this forum is losing pace. I'm getting my car dropped on ACS springs tomorrow from BMW (dun ask for the cost, it's gonna cost more than outside) and already installed my rims last week.
The car looks ugly now coz of the ride height and I'm thinking of changing the rim colours later... the rims looked better in magazines
