No problem. Drive to LAX or SFO, take CX881/883/885/873 to the Hong Kong International Airport. Drive along lantau island, took Highway #3 to the end of Kowloon Penisula, and you will see Ocean Terminal.

See you there!

OK, let's just settle on the Ocean Terminal roof top parking (unless someone confirms there is still construction going on and the roof top is closed).? As to time, is 11:30am ok with everyone?? All those who wish to attend, please kindly drop a note here to say "I confirm" la....? ?

In anycase, I'll check out the OT roof top today to see if it's open, will let you guys know, stay tuned.

Congrats!!! How come you have 17" wheels on the 523i? I only have the 16" ugly wheels.

I paid HK$12K for the 122 8J x 17 wheels with 245/45 R17 runflat tyres, these were brand new 122, 8J x 17 wheels with 245/45 R17 runflat tyres today from a 530i, my sales person got them for me personally, he told me a guy bought a 530i upgraded his wheels to 245/35 R18... he can sell the set to me @ HK$12K I guess he now has a set of R16 from mine for sales

Ask your sales person if you wish to upgrade you tyres they always have brand new trade-in...

I told him to De-badge the 523i

Just wonder if your Sales person is the same as mine. When I first got my car, I asked him to find me a set of wheels from the 530/545 for me, and 2 months later, he told me one of his customer will have a 530i by the end of August, and he will be taking off the wheel and get a 19" ACS wheel upgrade. He said he will be selling it for around $10k. I was tempted to take the offer, but after talking to a few friends, price seems to be kind of high for stock wheels. So I rejected his offer.

In the wheel shops, they are taking back the tyre/wheels for around $4000-$5000, so the Sales in fact had a profit of around $5000, that's more than he can make for selling a car.

In fact, later when I get my own wheel upgrade in Mong Kok, it turns out to be the same shop where my Sales is dealing with. What a small world, so I know for sure they are ripping of their own customers.
