just called bmwhk. they said there's a promotion on rims. 20% off. not sure about the tyres. they also quoted me $1638 for michelin preceda 2 each.

yea, i have the standard 17" that comes factory fitted. not sure if there's enough power on 525 to power 18/19" as i'm am already feeling that the car is losing power when climbing roads like garden road.

how much will the michelin roughly cost at the place where you change yr tyres?

i went to the new A4 launch party last week. i was well impressed with the new A4 i must say. just paid a visit to the showroom and equally impressed with the A5/S5. i like the interior best. if the new A6 whenever it's launch is something like that, i have a feeling that i'm going to switch...

well 1st you must come out tonight meet and try my 525i then you will know you got to get 19" or 20" wheels without thinking.
there is plenty of power out of these engines.
But if you what speed then I go for 18"
I just got 166 18" and my car is faster but the handlingis not as good as 19" :thumbsdown:

right now for 19" michelin ps2 it cost about $2800 each and for 20" well you dont what to know
the price $1638 from BMWHK is for 17" right and not RFT.
BMW parts are alway cost more even if it is 20% less but the good thing is they will be under warranty for a years or is it????

wow I heared alot about Audi are getting better, when the new A6 comes out I may have a look in to it.
But it got to be at lest the same performes as the E60 if not better I hope then I will get 1.

as you can tell, am still in office unfortunately.

what does the warranty cover for tyres and rims? where is a good place to check out rims and tyres in hk?

how does this continental sports contact 2 compared to michelin ps2 for 19"?

pinguhk

well I dont relly know if they are covered just guessing.
as for the tyre michelin ps2 are better. ask around there are new michelin models out now.
There is a place at kowloon bay that sell tyres and rim just across Super GT

i usually drive fridays-monday. Mostly city driving with some highway. Happy Valley- Shau Kei wan.
To fill up the car, it' around $950 on platinum fuel, which lasts 330-400km depending. But I never let the fuel gauge go under 1/4. Besides, the company pays for the fuel
