Sing Fai motors he is a BMW fixer only, most new cars goto him and get the m kit done.
Keith will be modding his in June when he comes back from UK at Sing Fai.
If you are like me and go for handling then H&R sway bars is a must.
Are you going to get the H&R sway bars which I have on my car?
maybe we can meetup 1 friday night after work and test drive my car.
Sing Fai says itis faster than 545i at start too.
right now my 525i is faster than Keith 530i

Very nice indeed and thanks for the sharing Ed!! I was thinking the135 wheels before but i changed my mind to 172M.
And for better cornering, like what pingu said below H&R sway bar is a must if you looking for better cornering and has only mini affects on the ride quality.
So my suggestion will be Eibach springs and H&R sway bar, only change damper if you go to extreme
But pls notice you might lost your warranty cos of these mods
As he said above, will upgrade the brake pads and drop it a bit when i back in June

There is 1 1st 330ci that has the mod of M tech kit fitted at Sing Fai, It was a black 1 and when the car arrived in HK the 1st it went to Sing Fai right away.

If I get M5 I would wait for the new engine with more hp, not the LCI right now
