They (some new bigwig) have axed the new M3 CSL so they can build more X3, 6's with big engines for the Russians,
with the current financial crisis/oil that is a bad move, i mean the Russian stockmarket just went under, the rouble
is goin to be worthless etc,.so far i only sa 1 X6 on the road in HK, what a waste of money Dave you are right.
i mean the M3 was only just ok, now the RS5 and C63 are killing our most pop performance car, BMW have no answer
to our rivals, is this the beginning of the end??
the clock is ticking away till the ugly F10 comes and we will change to which car/brand?
new E class???
won't other seeing the new 7 series now, it looks dated before it comes out.
frustrated

The M3 is good but for the price itis worth now way again.
unless I win mark 6. even that I still would not get a M3. Get a 2nd hand 360 much more fun than M3 and you will pull more girls

I have seen 3 all on kowloon side. White, black and a red 1
360 can pull Miss HK. new E class might be a good-un, things changed over there whilst BMW was King,
eg.some engineers left and went over there (just like AMG boss and guys went over to BMW over 8years ago)
Audi - only prob is DCH service, they are gangstas, you pay for oil changes that aren't done,
remember the guy with A4 and rusty hubs they wouldn't change? why rusty? did they skimp on the quality
coming to HK?? applies to Honda as well,to keep the warranty they will ask for 6000km oil changes and anything
like fuel filters etc,.
since the stocks came down, we might all be thinking of the 120i now??

My Ride: 2004 BMW 520i E60 in Amethyst Gray
Dave, let me clarify here, my brake was not done by SmartAuto and please don't make any assumption on something you have no evidence.
To be honest, I don't think my Brembo was not working. In fact I barely feel small difference after the treatment. What Ah Kin did was re-polishing the rotors, new brake oil, re-located the rotors, and some adjustment on the hand brake. The main reason why it felt kind of wield because they didn't leak all the air out.
Most important they didn't swap my front pads for some cheap stuff. The ones I have on are made by Pagid. Probably Ah Kin never heard of it.
