My Ride: 2004 BMW 520i E60 in Amethyst Gray
PLACES TO AVOID FOR LOWERED E60 BOYS!!!!!!!!
ABERDEEN ST (next to Caine Rd W Mid-Levels) junction with Staunton St
you will kiss the ground, anything lowered 40mm DON'T GO THERE but <40mm + standard M bumper is ok if you go slow down there.
TUEN MUN TIMES shopping centre- a wicked ramp on the left exit will take off your Splitters ad Derrick's bumper, avoid at all costs
Western St, next to W police station - if you bomb it up you will get sparks from underneath
Some roads around Bisney and Consort Rd, Pokfulam also look well dodgy
Kowloon Area:
Basically most Kowloon roads are fine. I only have problem with the parking buildings. Here is some observation:
TST:
1) New World - no go for me to the upper section, but still OK for the underground parking
2) Ocean Terminal - on the pathway coming down from the 3rd floor to 2nd floor, there is a "down & flat" spot and I had scrapped lightly once. OK if you don't have splitters on.
3) Middle Road - all clear
4) Miramar Shopping Centre - again "the down & flat"
5) Element - all clear
Jordon:
1) BP International - very narrow on the pathway but OK
Yau Ma Tei:
1) Market Street Public Parking - going up is OK, but coming down there is a "down & flat" spot. I scrapped even without my splitters on. Be careful !!
Festival Walk
1) OK
Kowloon City
1) Kowloon City Shopping Centre - Not a chance
Clear Water Bay Park N Shop - Will scrap the jesus out of you !!
Sai Kung
1) Sai Kung Public Parking (indoor) - right at the entrance there is a "flat & upward" spot, I am not sure about this one
2) Outdoor public parking (where all the people walk their dogs) - OK
Any further comment is appreciatd

A little more:
MegaBox : good for you guys but no go for me
Whampoa (across from Justco) : OK for me
The sad part is my car is not even that low but just the front bumper is super tall. The gap between my fender and the tire is like a stock car. Suck big time !!
BTW, any comment on Taikoo Shing Parking ?

Belchers - curved corkscrew bits could be problematic
Shatin New Town entrance old section - that has a deep run down and up, no probs for me so far
!!!!!!!! from Connaught Rd Central Sincere to Vicwood plaza/Wing on- there is a double huge dip in the road!!!!!!!!!!!!
Derrick, consider getting the carbon fibre bumper,that could withstand some shock!

HKBimmer,
Your double deck spoiler too heavy caused your truck can't jet up
Seem can change the tension of the spring under truck to fix it.
Wish can help.
