    F10 523i NA using Ron 98

    Agree with RSSID and other bro/sis here. Stick to what you feel comfortable and can afford in the long run. If its pt A to pt B, RON95 will suffice. If its pt A to pt B in a smooth shiok power feel on a traffic-free journey, then 98 or V-power. Do note that in some countries, RON92 is the...

    Electric Cars in Singapore

    With time, many 3rd party ws will pick up the skills and set up the appropriate facilities to service ALL types of EV, not specific to brands. It will be a big untapped market and the first mover with the deepest pocket will most likely benefit. My bet would be the Comfort Delgro and probably...

    Suspension Upgrade

    There are site sponsors here, so exposing pricing here can be kinda sensitive. However I agree with you, as long as the prices stated are "approx, about, range from etc" should be ok and not offend any of them. :)

    Stupid drivers

    Its not fully the 'other' driver's fault. Have you seen the SIZE of our parking lots compared with other countries? When constructing a building, developers/HDB contractors have to follow guidelines for carpark allocation. It is stated that each carpark lot must be of a MINIMUM size and so...
