Move to HKG and join us la

Btw, I like your rabbit, what's his/her name?

Move to HK?

No way! not with the amount of people there and all those smokers inside restruants and dis-respectful people.

Ops did I just say all that?

Sorry, but its just not for me. Great to visit. but thats it. I'm too use to the US. Dont think an M5 can even get me to live there.

BUT then again I havent visited the RICH RICH part of HK... I only visited the regular City areas like Tim Tsai Tsui Mong Kowk and those areas... So I dont really know what its really like. Maybe if I was multi-billionair or even millionair like you guys then I probably wouldnt mind living in HK.

Oh and his name is Cricket

What's the fuel consumption now with your new wheels, how many litres/100km can you drive now.

[snapback]178017[/snapback]

Arrr...horrible. Averaging 14L/100km, and is around $1.75 per km. If it is pure city driving, it will be even worse. My typical tank will be 75% city driving and 25% highway driving (mainly to / from airport). A full tank can now travel around 420km.

Before the wheel change, it is around 12.5L/100km.

And the $/km price already includes a $0.80 discount per liter of gas.

But, damn it, it look so nice with the new wheel!

14L not too bad I am doing 16.8L on 90% city driving. Ever since mgmph1 said his wheels are for sale I have been considering the ride factor, fuel consumption and the tire doesn't last long on those rims as I think they are performance tires. If I buy his wheels than I might have to change them 2 year later (and that's very optimist) But the look of the M5 wheel is too hard to resist.

Haha..? now that you are both driving it than is fine.? Maybe someone order the M5 and decide not to buy it.

BTW is that a 1 series in the background?

[snapback]178010[/snapback]

WE had two 1 series show up at our meet. One was still not registered and the other had some sort of body kit on it. Here are some pics of our meet along with some other cars:

Fuel consumption should be better after the break-in period. And I think if your driving style is not too aggressive, the tyre can last quite long. My previous Michelin Pilot Sports has 15000km on it, and there are still 50% tread left.

Hey guys

Do u know what the "microfilter" is for? The service light came on couple days ago saying the microfilter is due for changing. But today the message is gone and it says it still has 2500km left.....strange
