1st they are not worth it
2nd they will get nicked.
that why I dont bother getting them

billhk

got my Breyton Race CS 19" lads, now, what lowering would you lads suggest?

pinguhk

that looks much better than your acs.
as for lowering go eibach, they are the best.
This set of springs will keep the ride and have a good look on the car.

As i said in the PM, go for the Eibach! Thay are the best for the HK road.

H&R is 10mm lower than Eibach all around but the ride is 100% more harsh than Eibach, so you hav to make decision depends on your driving style.

Your ride look awesome bill, and i am sure you will be more happy after you dropped your car

Nice Wheels, Great choice! I have the same set too...

Keith, Dave thanks for the advice, will go for the eibach very soon,
must check with my insurance company.

5 series...
FYI, last week, under the 40c heat, I been touring with a UK family group of 4heavy weights on both my E90 and W203 in different occasions. After I took them one trip on my very bumpy C55 due to its pending for a suspension replacement I mostly used my E90 with them. We went to the Peak, Sai Kung twisties, Tuen Mun HWY.....all those places you can think of...
1. They found the E90 back seats are much spacious than W203.
2. They found E90 is very comfortable and as they said, the car is originally designed for Kawi Lo, so they don't think the car can't take them just because they are big. They even think E90 is too big for relatively smaller built Chinese.
Insight to the story,
A new car model is always 'nice'. What makes we think the 2012 new gen 3er looks less 'nice'?
If you buy a 5 series for more sitting space, it is overkill.
Why pay more for same engine power for more space just because you don't want your Amah squeezing with the kids. Fire the Amah or get a 7seaters Toyota is a cheaper solution than getting a bigger body BMW!
Besides, both of you are so young , why in a hurry to drive a 5 仔 like 阿伯( for kk, it means Grandpa).
No, not a 5 series, too many 'matured' looking guys driving them up China....
After all, I am really the appropriate 阿伯 to drive a 5 series.

p.s. 3 years is not a very long time to wait considering you are young.
But this '3 years' is possibly 30% of your youngest time of life.
You should mod more (more,more!)when you are still young.

for me I will not get the same car unless it is very good.
my last car was a e46 325i.
I always loved the e60 right from the start, I said to myself this car is not for older poeple any more.
we young 1s can drive it now, unlike the e39
other thing is, if you have 2 kids like me and what a better ride and space the e60 is the best on the market.
the boot is so big I can fit baby chair and bike and other crap in the boot.
if I was single or a cauple I go for the 3er 2 door and not the 5er.
like you say if there is more than 5 people get a 7 seater which I also have stepwgn.

so you are planing to get a 5er in 3 years time. The all new 1 have you seen the f10 photos.
when I saw the 1st rending OMG that is Fugly, but now with the new renders I am starting to like it.
from 1 to 10

Sup Bro, Yea i am running Breyton Spacers on all 4 wheels, the spoiler should come in maybe in another week or so. Still feeling iffy, kind of having doubts if it was a good choice. As for the diffuser, I got it from a shop in Kwun Tong... Believe the shop does primarily Audi and some BMWs. Let me see if i can find their number for you...
