For the money, I think Arqray is the best you can get. Forget those local made one in Fo Tan or the brand name ones such as Hamann, ACS, or Einsemann, u can't go wrong with it. I don't think it is loud at all. In fact even my wife couldn't tell the difference. My baby daughter can sleep well in the car without any problem.
I am going to do a complete Brembo brake kit which includes a front 8 pistons w/ 380 mm cross drilled disc / back 4 pistons w/ 345 mm. New Pagid brake pad with steel brake hose. Got it used but still in excellent condition. Will see.

If you what I can take you there, alot of rich guy go there too to get there BM fixup so he is the man to fix thing if something gose wrong.
He also dose mods on cars too.
He as the computer to reset free of charge if you change oil there
. Unlike most place were they will charge you $500 to reset the computer :thumbsdown: I meet a engish guy last night and he took his car325i to get the oil change. I asked him how did he find Sing Fai and he replay at a BMW forum, not this 1, so he must be good if engish guys go to a local shop.
