when will you go down?
I will come down when you install it.
Probably friday but will need to wait for the scoops to be arrived.
Was planning to fit the scoops myself, but like your car, my e60 also has the flapping vent behind the grilles, which makes me unable to fit it, and for removing the auto flipping vents, i will probably need to take the whole bumper off! So better leave it for the Pro (Ar Kin)

You should change in pair. Two rears or two fronts at the same time for safety reason.
This is the reason why i am struggling

keith84_uk like ricky1329 said you should never just change the 1 tyre, unless they are less than a few months old.
always change 2.
best bet is keep the old 1 for spare, if you have a flat

Guys, i know, it is OFT but i still want to share this with you


I was kind of racing with a Nissan Sunny two days ago through some twisky mountain roads, and i loss!! Completely!!

Two days ago, after a dinner with my mate, we decided to find a place to breath some "Oxygen", Its in Twuen Wan and very close to where i live (Some of you may know), when we going back down the hill, a nissan sunny was KISSing my ass, i decided to give him a lesson and tell him don't ever piss with the bimmers again.

I gave it the full throttle and he fall behind of cos, i kept accelarating through the corners and he was able chasing MY BACK, i braked hard on the corners and full throttle on the way out (doing my best out of the corners), tyres were squiking like hell, ABS &traction control are doing their best ( keep flashing!! ) but he still kissing my tails and i was completely shocked!!

I let him passed through at the end as i know i will be in big trouble if i play with him.....

I must admit i am not very skillful, but no way i will loss for a 10 yr old sunny!

I Hate Sunny

In general, Speeding in term of driver's life instead of car performance and or driver's skill . Especially, down hill.
Don't play to hard, because your are a rich young guy and lot of beauty girl waiting for you. Be careful.
