Yeah, don't trust "water goods" salesmen. My college friend bought a Skyline from a water goods dealer few years ago. Then when later his family grew and needed to trade in the Skyline for a mini-van, the same salesmen told him he wouldn't get much for his Skyline because it's "water goods" !!! WTF !!!
Oh, and the police will also try to talk you into not sueing because less work for them (that's what happened to me). So don't fall for that either <_<

? I am in my lane and his lane have construction up ahead so he should check to make sure he is ok before he pass.? I have to go to the police station later and give a detail testimony I will tell the police I will sue him for his careless driving which resulted in damages on my car.? If he is willing to pay for damages (repaint in BMW) then I might considering dropping the case.
That guy was a salesman in Richburg and he say stuff like I work in the industry and I know BMW is the same as shop outside and stuff like our used cars on display use those shops too and is as good as the original.? Yeah right.. my friend brought a use car from them and the paint job is not as shinny as it were when he brought it only after a few days in fact after a few wash there are scratch marks revealing, so I don't trust those guys at all.

No matter what, bring it back to BMW for repair. Make sure you file a police report too.
Never trust the salesman, they just want to have an easy way out. If it happened to me, I may kill him right there.

[/quote]If we are referering to the same shop, it is called "Auto Design Haus". On Glochester Road, between the Mini Showroom and Wanchai Police Station. I used to buy parts from them for my E36 8 years ago, they are quite honest and the price is not too bad. They were the Breyton distributor before.
I am not sure if Speedline is still in business, they used to be in Leighton Road, and I think they may have Hamman stuff.

[/quote]Just looking for a lip and new wheels for the time being
Hey btw you said Bunbun's 520 have those flaps for cold weather? Interesting, guest they must have taken it out because is useless in HK coz I can see clearly into my radiator, but still couldn't access the grill area.
Are you considering changing to chrome? I think with the chrome the car looks much nicer but not too many would notice the difference only the pros (us
) could tell.

[/quote]Yeah, I think we're talking about the same shop on Gloucester Road. I thought I saw Hamman stickers on their window display. I'll check next time I pass by.
