my German friend just hired a Stang and compared to his 335i twin diesel turbo....
stang had a slight faster acceleration initially, but everything else, was
not even near the BMW, not just the corners, but admits the stang had a muscle car feel and sound
which was addictive.
2 different animals, i wouldn't mind having some time in a stang, shame you can't get them in HK for USA prices.
I have see 1 in HK with full mods

though the stang might run slower than bimmer in curves, am sure it can attract much more attention and crusing around. afterall it's a cool muscle car and rare in HK.

My BIG THANKS to Ricky-San and Dave for the time and effort....

Finally a mod that I enjoy personally everytime I get into the car and every second I am driving it! Highly recommended, not to mention it is probably the cheapest mod ...

here is a shot of my 335, take a look guys!

For the black centre, I am wondering if we should do a black label instead? 'cos I am worry it would be difficult to block all the lights even with black marker without leaking....

cheers,
Mike

Earlier this week, we reported that the NHTSA was in the hot seat when it failed to report infant seat failures. Our post stemmed from a report in the Chicago Tribune following its investigation through thousands of buried National Highway Traffic Safety Administration test reports. The Tribune report raised more than a few eyebrows as it called into question current child seat safety standards, and accused the NHTSA of negligence in not reporting the poor results to the public.

SafetyBeltSafe U.S.A., a national non-profit organization dedicated to child passenger safety, was quick to issue a response in a effort to clear up the Tribune's alarming and sensational report. According to SBS, the infant/child seat manufacturers do exhaustive testing of new designs on computers before they ever get bolted to a test sled. Those tests, run at 30 mph into a rigid barrier (as required by FMVSS 213), "...are the equivalent of hitting another car at 60 mph and more severe than more than 95% of real-world crashes." As of today, the largest collection of consistently analyzed cases of children in crashes over a ten-year period was done by Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The findings indicated that "...the chance of injury of an infant properly restrained in a correctly secured rear-facing seat is less than 1%." While no restraint system (adult, child, or infant) is optimal for every crash scenario, all studies still indicate that a properly restrained infant is going to fend very well in a real-world crash. Keep 'em buckled up!

mikemike,

some cool toys for your 335! too bad they don't have something similar for e60, switchable engine programs is a good idea.
