HEHEHEH thanks for viewing! Anyway the stock ones looks very SLR-ish. hahhahaha. Go for OZ mans, looks BRILLIANT!

Hehe...u r welcome. SLR-ish? I'm gonna shop around for some 2nd hand rims. Wanted to change mine to 18" or 19", but dealer just change to brand new tyres before I took over. Can't bear to dump them

Not sure where I'll be able to get nice 2nd hand rims. Any recommendations from bros?

D gaptech module is for one touch or for operating roof while on d move? Cuz I understand reinhold serves both purposes.

If it serves both purposes, pricing seems v attractive!

The GapTech has essentially the same function as the 2 separate Reinhold modules
- one-touch operation of roof button (no need to hold)
- open/close roof using remote

The Reinhold module for opening/closing while moving is sadly not available for E85.

i got no more stock tyres...now using 2 different types of tyres. the front 2 & the rear 2 are different. feels so weird...never tried that before.

Hey all

Just to draw your attention to this thread here: http://www.bmw-sg.com/forums/bazaar...48833-wanted-pml-parts-discount-vouchers.html

Basically, I have a 30% parts voucher courtesy of Tomace. If anyone is after OEM parts, feel free to tompang on the voucher.

But still need to find someone with a new car to use the voucher. Haha.

Oh...I was told I can open d roof from my car key from a distance by holding down d boot button. Doesn't work! So this is the solution to that huh. Hmm......

At least your motor still works man. My hydraulics + motor for the soft top is busted. It's PURE manual now. Good for tricep workouts..

Can be done, but not with the boot button. Press unlock 3 times and hold on the 3rd press. You need to pause a little bit between each press and make sure that you are near enough for the remote to be in range (and the range is ridiculously short!).

I learnt this from a fellow forummer at a meet-up.

That said, the GapTech RCH+ provides added functionality (which I personally find super useful):
- One touch (press for 0.5sec and release) for the roof buttons in the car, no need to press-and-hold for 8sec!
- Use remote to close the roof when walking away from the car!

Wow brudder, sounds like a work out man! New motor and hydraulics should be super expensive, right?

Oh man...I'm sorry to hear.
Was scrolling thru the E85 parts from PML & realize they sell d hard tops. Not sure if it can be operated to transform to topless mode though.
Hmm

Nope, the hard-top is not convertible. Think in those four-season countries, some people may prefer to put on the hard-top (over the soft-top) during winter.

Don't bother with the hard tops haha, it's sooo heavy. Looking for the hydraulics and motors in scrapyard. Propel gonna help source. Getting it from PML is WAY to expensive.
