There was a post not long ago but sigh ... it is a problem. http://bmw-sg.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=924&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=brake+dust&&start=0 Wonder if there is a workaround to this problem? Will waxing the wheels cause less affinity for the brake dust to stick onto the rims?

What's a recommended (in terms of safety & good looks) tint level for front, sides & rear?

Possibly most folks would rather for the real thing or its touching something that warrants more consideration. Er. I'm not encouraging anyone to do this. There are some realistic concerns & the opinions shared are great. Good learnings here.

Yeah, I thought hard about this cosmetic mod. - Screwing :screwedu: into the caliper. It was done on the thick fat part of it. Actually, I'm still a little worried about it :uhhh: - Temperature concerns. For me, driving in SGP hardly pushes the car to the limits. Its a good point that...

Mine are 17" rims. The calipers were drilled about 1.5cm deep. I think he used 3mm diameter bits to secure the self tapping screws. You can see the 2 metals studs in this close up. You see that there is very little clearance from the rims to the caliper covers. The installers mentioned...

The covers are a little undersized, so it needs to be cut a little. It looks nice from the sides but the 'front' is exposed. So perhaps its a blessing - yes, you can see your brake pads.

You are right, the advertised caliper covers are too small for the E46. Alvin666, you should feel better now, knowing that your deal isn't so bad after all. In any case, I did install it though its a little too small. Since its a cosmetic cover, they can be removed easily.

I was down a moment ago to have a look Its made of fibreglass. For safety reasons, they will drill 2 holes into the side (not the front but the side) of the caliper to mount it. It appears that there is a risk for the covers to fall off if using glue. Quality looks OK. Need to check if it...

Alvin666, I was told this one uses screws so that they can be removed to change the brake pads. They said they are not sure if it will fit an Bimmer.... Will go down to have a look later. If it doesn't fit, I'll try your contact you had.

They advertised in this month's Hot Stuff magazine. Revo Performance.

Welcome Carhartt. Just ordered & only 13 days to go? Not bad already. Some folks ordered in May & collected in Sept - 4 months!!

The Remus bolt on tips fit onto a muffler that can adjust the sound via a bolt located behind the tail pipe. Or you can change to Remus quad exhaust. 2 on each side. Damn fierce.

Check your air con gas pressure. Just bring it to any workshop or petrol kiosk. Topping up the gas is very cheap.

Did the ZFX package already. Damn shiny man. I also got the Swissol wheel wax and will try it this weekend. BTW, I think Marina South Park is a good alternative if you want to go for photoshoots. There is a big carpark near LongBeach seafood restaurant.

BTW, does installing an aftermarket exhaust like Remus void any PML warranty? (besides the exhaust of course) Is it recommended to install it on a brand new car?

Called Fong Kim yesteday. They said ~ $900+ for a Remus for the 318i. Half hour job. Will check out Jeep Chee too, since they are quite near. Thanks for the info.

Nice tailpipe. BTW, where to get it in SGP? How much for a new one?

I got a saphire black 318 sports edition with black/beige interior - can't wait for it to arrive. I checked out the Zaino website & prices look very reasonable - Very likely to try it.
