No problem! I'm trying to find more Taiwanese E60'ers as well... LOL Only problem is that most people who buy E60's here are businessmen
who have no time for anything!

It's about the same here. Most of the people that buy E60s are older...

Seems 3'ers are more popular among mod'ers. The past year, I've seen only a half dozen modified E60's in Taipei... but everyday, I'd see like 2-30 stock e60s.

When's your car arriving?

In Korea, a vast majority of 3'ers (like 80%) are 320i with 330i or 335i badges. And most of the drivers of the 320s are women or kids.

On a daily basis, I probably see about 2 or 3 modified 5'ers around Seoul. Mostly wheels and tires. My neighbor has a '08 528i M Sport with the M5 front, rear apron and front fenders with Breyton wheels (this guy is like in his early 50's). Looks good but I'm not a big fan of Breyton wheels. I'm going to have to snap some pix of the modified 5'ers I see around town and post them.

As for my car, the dealer is saying end of October earliest. BMW Korea is saying that the car is slated for September production. Then about 2 to 3 weeks on the boat over here. Then about a week or two to clear customs, so end of October early November seems right. I'll nag the BMW Korea guys to get it here ASAP!

I hope your wheel situation is improving~ I feel for on that one...

Time will fly by fast and you'll have your car in no time! I've yet to see a 528i M sport here in Taipei... every car I see is either 520d, 523i, 530, or M5.

Yeah, I hope my wheel situation improves...
