Greetings from New Zealand and welcome to the forums. My wife's from Singapore and we visit there frequently. I went in to Performance motors to have a look at the E60s when they first came out in 2004 - I liked the idea of grey interior and trim, but most of the cars here have black interiors. Luckily I found a Titanium silver one in Singapore with the grey trim and was able to see it before ordering.

Tell us a bit more about your new toy. How much did you pay for it??

Danke, Xie Xie, Terima Kasih, Thank You for the warm welcomes

New toy is space gray with light cream interiors. Comes with Mtec bodykit and puny 17" wheels. First thing I did was to drive straight from Peformance Motors, the dealership, to the tyre shop. Dumped the 17" and RFTs for 19"s New toy set me back approx 120k US dollars equivalent

Right now just have one crummy pic taken with my phone. sorry for the poor quality. Here's my SUV


PS. Leong - just a wild guess here, are u by any chance Malaysian?

thanks. of the 120k, more than half goes to the government in various form of taxes. it is their way of controlling the car population and traffic in land scarce singapore. Other stuff are ok, reasonably priced.

Welcome and holy crap! I wish I had $120k to spend on a car. If so then Mr. 997 Porsche Turbo, meet my garage. I take it importing cars is almost impossible if not more expensive as well? Or else everyone would buy their cars from the US or Europe and ship them right over.

I love the BBS RGR (or RS-GT?) wheels you put on them .
