I have pm you on the price it not cheep.
I am using ZF oil and not BMW oil, BMW oil cost 2x as much not worth it and ZF make the oil for BMW any way, so they are the same aprt from the BMW logo, why pay more if they are the same stuff.
Im going to own the car for other 3 to 4 years so better to change all the oil in the car to last longer.
engine oil & filter
gear box oil & filter
brake oil
power steering oil

Here you go Keith. As you can see, it's sitting like an SUV... and I definitely prefer less body roll on the corners. Will look into the Eibachs/Bilstein combo as I hear it give a decent ride but mich better cornering. Any shops you can recommend?

I will go check this out later on!!!The Michelin Pilots (245/40 R 18) were another HKD2,500 each = HKD10,000 for the set.
Not cheap but a much better ride than the run flats which came with the car.
Cheers
