Re: 523i difference??? The rear lights with 5 LED-strips is the most distinctive difference for the latest 523i. What I like too are the front xenon lights that light up for a while when you remote-open the car. Just did my 1st service since collecting my car 4 mths ago. Needed oil change...

Re: Airshow 2008 520i Ironically, sales price does not depend on COE, unlike the Jap cars. So, no need to wait for COE to drop. Infact, better paper value if you get car at high COE. Early last yr, 523i list price was $200K but still sold at $170K after "discount". (PML very creative with...

Re: Airshow 2008 520i $181,800 if you select existing stock. $183,800 if you order from factory, which gives you choice of what color interior & trimming. Hence the $2K difference.

Re: Airshow 2008 520i Yes i agree with sjlim that 523i unlikely to go down , now that 520i is here. In fact, the reason why 523i is currently $172K is bcos of overtrade for old car. The list price is $181,800. If the 520i is going for $168K, then there must be a significant price differential...

Re: Airshow 2008 520i On should get a 6-cylinder engine bcos less strain on the engine & more power. Agree that the right price for 520 should be $150K. For $160K, better to top up $10K for proper 523 & enjoy better ride for the next 5 yrs at least. I am glad I got my 523i at the last ASEAN...

Re: Airshow 2008 520i I got my 523i at the ASEAN summit deal. Aftre driving it for a month & clocking >1000 km, still feel the pickup is a bit sluggish despite the 190 bhp. So I can imagine how the 520i at 156 bhp will behave. Suspect PML is trying to help the BMW office clear their old...

Re: BMW 325i vs 523i Congrats on your purchase & Welcome to the club! My 523i is one month old & my wife & I are enjoying the ride, performance & stability. Very smooth, responsive engine & the 5 series is still the most eye-catching model cf. the 3 & 7. Noticed too that you get better service...

Re: Buying a 523i - Please advise May I ask what is the latest Xmas promo price for 523i? Even though COE cheaper, notice that price for luxury cars don't really follow in tandem.

Re: [you], what BMW do you drive NOW? Mine is the 523i

Re: ASEAN Summit 523i Yes, the Asean Summit discounted price was a good time to pick up a bimmer, esp if it was not used in the end - which means you get the same car but on 16" rims. Actually, the ride was smoother than the test drive (which was on 17" run-flat) so it was indeed the right...

Re: ASEAN Summit 523i Asean Summit is over & cars are now released to those who booked. Inspected mine yesterday & found that it was not used at all! Full tank, 39 km on odometer. Was told some cars clocked 1200 km. Driving off my brand new car tomorrow : )

Re: ASEAN summit promo by PML No, PML is not cheating you. Just that with such a sought-after brand, they can afford to price it higher (as with any popular product) & hence got more leeway in giving discount (biz economics). So, if they need to boost sales, can afford to give "more"...

Re: ASEAN summit promo by PML Yes, just read abt the puncture - embarrassing. But strange, I thot BMW car runs on run-flat tyres! Unless, it wasn't a BMW he was in....

Re: ASEAN summit promo by PML $162,800 bcos added discount for letting the car used by delegate. Unlike IMF & AA, car is registered after the event, & PML will repair any damage at their cost. I guess can never be sure if this is "best" price, bcos don't know any other "promotion" coming up...

Re: ASEAN summit promo by PML 523i all sold out. Booked mine 2 wks ago bcos thought it was good price. Summit ends today. Not sure what was lowest price for those who bought fm IMF & AA but understand that many features less (OMV less too). Summit only dif is 16" rims normal tyres which I am...

Re: looking for rims for my 523............. Is there any disadvantage with driving on 16" inch rims?

Re: ASEAN Summit 523i I just booked mine too on Deepavali. Last "platinum bronze" (the new color on the block)available I was told. Looks like a good bargain we got, despite the 16" rims which I was told give better comfort ride bcos thicker rubber. The SE said the mileage should not be >...
