Very nice indeed!!!

Did you notice any differences with the steel brake lines? Someone says you will feel more solid when braking.

And i was wonder why you need to change the rubber for a three year old car?? you got a 04 car, don't you?

And did they find out you need a new rubber or u wanna change it? Cos wanna get my car inspected as well in some point.

Thanks for the write up!!

for the steel brake lines, the braking is alot solid and 100% better than before.
so next time you need a brake oil change change the brake line too, will save alot of money.

There was a shaking on the steelring wheel and nosie when I turn the car so I jacked up the car at home and found that the rubber was cracked on both sides.
also my car was coming for a full checkup so got Sing Fai to check all the other stuff and he say it is OK, thank god.

I think itis the pot holes and the ramp in the carparks that made the cracks. My dad drives quiet fast over them and Sing Fai says this are very coman on the e60 in HK, he has changed many of them front and back.
He also say the e39 is the same and much worse.
so drive slow over ramps.
I just have to tell my dad off

BMW are strong car but not that strong, there will always be ware and tair. my car has done 45000km now.

As far as i know Dinan only avaliable in the US...and it is one of the official BMW tuner for US market...(not entirely sure tho)
Revosport? It is a chip tuning company, isn't it? http://www.revotechnik.com/

Or u mean a garage?
Anyway welcome to the forum

have to pass on this unfortunately. let us know how was the day, should be good fun since it cost $1k per participant.

am thinking of replacing the run-flat tyres for 525. any recommendations on what is a tried and proven combination for comfort ride + performance? any indication on the cost and where to go will be appreciated.

also, has anybody installed the ipod module for 5 series? does it display the artist's name and album correctly?

cheers
