Yea brakes will probably come later after I have done other mods, you have a nice looking car btw - I have the exact same color and want to do something similar to yours but with deeper rims. Can you recommend the shop that worked on your car to me btw? Thanks!
I always change my own engine oil, oil filter, clean the K&N air filter every 6 months.
But I have found a place in MK that is $100hk labur to change the oil and filter, this has got to be the cheepest in HK.
Going to get the oil & oil filter change and flush the engine too and clean the air filter this Saturday.

Done other mod on my car.
Did a mod on my spring today.
The ride is much better and now my car is a bit faster too.
the car is lifted up that why the rubber is not in the sping. when the car is down on the ground the spring will fit into the rubber
this is a very cheep mod and no need to lower the car not I can still park the car in my house and still have a good cornering.

Nah it is the 04 model, had the car for a while but recently got the money to mod it. Thanks for the input man, much appreciated. Yea I will probably just stick with intake, quad exhaust, springs, rims and xenons. I just want to be able to find a shop that does all.
The guy in charge in there is called Mr Ng and he is a nice guy to deal with, he did a great job but the price will be a little bit expensive than others.
If you are looking for a cheap garage to do all the mods, PM pinkguhk and he might give you some advises.

my is not from 1 shop it is from about 7 shops which I got the parts from and most is DIY on my car I like to fix things myself, the only thing is not diy is the boby kit, CF trims, sport peddle shift stering wheel and the wheels.
I always change my own engine oil, oil filter, clean the K&N air filter every 6 months.
But I have found a place in MK that is $100hk labur to change the oil and filter, this has got to be the cheepest in HK.

And i saw ur CF trim somewhere in the forum and it looks AWESOME!!
And one thing regarding the sprint booster, do u know where is the cheapest that i can get in HK? cos might get one for myself and one for my mate SLK 280. (Cos his car got a lasy gas paddle which was much much worst than our E60, usual stuffs for Merc!)
Cheers buddy!

I only use the money that I gane from the stocks only to mod my cars never from pocket.
just the steering wheel is about $15,000hk but I dont know if it is cheeper now.
the wire kit is about $3500hk, I dont think I can hook it up, have to take it to Sing Fai motor sports, he has done 1 before.

Has your M5 arrived? Any reviews or pics?
My M5 came last year. Had a few "red cog" SMG transmission failure alerts, the first being 3 days after delivery, and the most recent on saturday.
But so far "touchwood" the msgs goes away after restarting the car.
Gear changes is quite unnerving due to SMGs characteristics. Despite what ppl say about driving techniques, passengers still feel the jolt between 1st and 2nd gear change.
Original 19" rims were quite hard on the ride quality. After changing to 20", the ride is much softer. My wife and mother in-law actually likes the car now.
But for performance, one word "amazing". With the M button on "DAMN"! Although sometimes i wish the car had more torque for Hong Kong island driving.
Just a quick pic I took on the weekend. Will get some better shots later.
