It's 3am now and I just got home. No, the PDC still doesn't work. I will have to go to Sing Fei tomorrow and have it checked with the big computer.
Man, it was a crazy drive on the way back. I was blasting 160km/h at the East Kowloon Hwy and felt like flying. I got better from 3Krpm & on. Quicker accelation, faster response.
It's time to consider the crank pulley mod ![Devil](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/devil.gif)

Brother billhk, before I heard the salesmen saying that the new 5 series should be out near end of next year, or early year after... you are saying this is likely to be postponed further?

wnshie this is the Spring Bumper Retainer that I was talking about last night.
I you have no plans change the springs like me then this is a good mod for you OEM shocks
these will save you abit more money on the shocks.
The OEM shocks will last much longer and you will get a bit harder ride not much about 5% to 10%.

Where exactly did you see the road block ? I didn't see any on the way back, except the one in front of AK47. ![Tongue](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/tongue.gif)

i meant all other ones in development, some are being killed off eg.SUV and supercar variants.
the main problem is that the factories are on skeleton production, Christmas holidays are extended....
good news is that BMW and Porsche are financially very strong, Porsche made a profit nearly the same as it's sales
figure??? because their shares in Audi/VW went up and they cold some before the crash, thats what i hear.
