Fuel consumption has worsen for me after the 19" wheel upgrade, maybe it is too much for the 523i. But well.....it looks great.

[/quote]That's normal, you got more rubber on the ground, so you need more power to overcome the resistance / friction. But is nice and I must get bigger wheels

[/quote]Actually it's just a replacement filter for the OEM so no modifications or additions needed. Im guessing just pull out the old filter and drop in the new and job done

[/quote]No modification needed just find the filter and replace it. My uncle and I used to have a E46 in Canada, he changed it and he ask me to feel if there are any power increase, well the car is more responsive to the throttle but then again he got a stick shift and mine was an auto coz my sis don't know how to drive a manual

Funny thing is, I do know how to ride a motorcycle (with gears of course), I had a Ninja back when I was in college but those were the days. So I think I know the concept of stick shift in a car but just too lazy to shift.

Yeah I know I feel the same, but it doesn't mean that I am getting old though is just because there are too much traffic in HK.
