Welcome back Bill 
We love our e60 and i will not sell it
We love our e60 and i will not sell it
some myths to dispel abt the new Audi/VW quality.
Some German mates of mine have:
Audi A6 v6 - changed engine (stopped)
Audi A8 - changed engine
VW Toureg V6 diesel- changed engine(oil pump failed and no warning light??)
all within 1 year, toureg 20k km!!!!
this means that Audi quality is questionable?
note: VW made the dealer rebuild the toureg engine and then threw it away just so that they knew
what was wrong!! it seems the engineers were getting arrogant and done away with essential warning lights and engine oil and pressure etc,.

Where exactly did you see the road block ? I didn't see any on the way back, except the one in front of AK47. 
with the AK47 Vortex installed?

This M5 looks kind of plain. It sure doesn't has an aggressive look. In term of performance, it is no match. If I am the owner, I will definitely put on some cosmetic pieces such as vented hood, CF splitters, or some better looking rims.
M5 and M6 are too common, need some thing that will look much better than any M5 on the road.

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

It's time to consider the crank pulley mod then that would mean bye bye 335i after you have finished with it, i think it would cost the same
as all the mods you mention.
plus the 550i is not so thirsty as a MB
