can't lower it yet as it's under warranty, maybe some eibach springs will do the biz.
how much were the supersprints? arqray welding and construction is very good, but noisy as said.
yep, ACS badges, all those small acs tiny badges are too small to be read, had the full PU bodykit fitted,
front, sides, lower rear, boot lip, glass spoilers.
maybe this is it, no more mods can be done.... or will pingu the devil say otherwise??new wheels??

So sadly i have to pay more than i needed....but Dunlop wasnt too bad tho.....have to say

he is that little devil and the angel!one more thing to show u the e60 is the best, BMW Hk boss (I introduced Pingu to him at the last test in r bay)drives a silver e60 touring latest facelift model
he said it was the best to drive and get abt in, and used to have a X5 4.8/7series or whatever takes his fancy!

I thought he would be driving M-series car like...M5, M6 or even new M3......
Really, he takes what he fancy! Maybe he know E60 touring is one of the rarest car in HK!

Hi All

If you cant get your car thats OK I can pick 3 of you guys up.
He is leaving the next day.
Sorry for the very short info.
Can you make it?

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

I have BF Goodrich on my 19"ACS rims which I got at MK and they are good for the price.
right now I have japan made Toyo which are not as good as the BF goodrich
Most have Michinlin ps2 which cost the most.

Would you mind to let me the address of Sing Fai? My is 04 has done over 50000km. I found the steering wheel noisy too. 
BTW I think he is the best in HK fixing BMs cars and he will tell you what to do on modding and what is good and bad for the car.
he is behind TKW BMW dealer
