My Ride: MY2005 E60 545iA (Delivered 10th September 2005), Silver Grey, Black Dakota, Maple wood Sycamore Anthracite.
Mods done: M-Kit, ACS racing type IV 9.0JX20" and 10.0JX20" on Michelin PS2 front 255/30/20 and rear 295/25/20.
Mods to come: ACS suspension set, ACS trunk spoiler, ACS roof spoiler, ACS alu foot pedals, ACS exhaust, M5 trunk finisher, M5 Mirror or ACS Mirror.
Hey guys... I am new here. I got my new 545i over the weekend. I was just wondering if any components or modifications (including rims) done outside of BMW Concessionaires HK will void or cancel the Manufacturer or Distributor's warranty??

Hello and welcome Ah Jai 
I think we hv two 545 on this HK board now, wslam has the other one. Regarding warranty, I think as long as you leave out the electronics and engine parts, you should be ok. But of course it's safest to consult with your service manager first b4 doing anything. Rims are for sure ok no problem as far as I know.
We can hv a local e60 meet wor since now we hv more hk members
gf366 and I had been talking about this for over a year now.
I just dropped off my car for scheduled service, notice a lot more new 3-series
Bunbun.

[/quote]Nice to hear more and more people found interested in such a meet!
I'd once chated by email a few times w/ Bunbun and Breced, now I guess mic325 might be another active HK member... Who else I got here? Eric?
Um... I think calling each other is taking too much effort for such a gathering, maybe you guys may email me your email contact (name, email address, phone#, etc), that we may setup a meet up for maybe afternoon tea on the weekend or something!
So, guys... Let me know if you are interested in such a meet!
