sigh.. damm jealous. still waiting for in-principle approval from LTA to do the VITAS. haven't even seen my car yet.

after seeing wobbles F13, i should have paid for the adaptive headlights and 20 inch. sigh.. was in UK and took the opportunity to discuss with a SE there who convinced me no need to spend the extra $.... but at least i took the contrast stitching option :)

had CB on a 5 quite a few years back. lovely color.

congrats wobbles ! btw, i have waited almost as long as you :(

Bro, good things come to those who wait. I can say that with conviction now. Honestly, nothing beats seeing your own car in the flesh - or metal, as the case may be. Pictures simply don't do the real thing justice.

Together with HUD, the LED adaptive headlights with auto high beam assist were standard options on the 640/650 F13s here in Singapore - truth be told, the specs list is impressive enough as it is. The only notable stuff that I would have hoped they included for that kind of obscene cut-throat price (sun roof deletion notwithstanding) was the surround view/side view and auto park.

The M-sport was, to me, an absolute necessity - I didn't quite like the 'standard' gaping jaw/jowl of the front apron/valance of the F12/F13 - different grass for different cows, your mileage may vary & all the usual disclaimers :) - so, short of splurging another $100K or more for the M6 (and wife divorcing me), I opted for the M-sport, which sorta beefs up the car's appearance somewhat. The 373M 20" are far nicer than the 19" M ones which are ubiquitous also to the F10s.

And I can say this - without IAS (Integrated Active Steering - an option which I left blank on the spec list), my 640i handles FAR BETTER than my F02 which came with the IAS. Even Her Majesty remarked that she was surprised that I'd overnight become such a sure-footed driver, hehehe. To heck whatever the auto mags would say about what 'wooly steering' - the F13 is a very good handling car!

You'll absolutely LOVE YOURS when it finally comes, mate! Like I said, good things come to those who wait :)

Oh, haha, no thanks bro - I toyed around with the idea of bidding for a number plate of my fancy, but at even $10,011, I failed, so fcuk it - I'll make do with whatever LTA hangs on my car.

Generic numbers good.. Run lion harder to be caught..
 
Re: Any F13 owners collected their cars yet? Share impressions please!

agree with you on the m kit.. hope it looks gd on my 19".

took HUD, left out LED headlights, surround view and IAS ( mainly becos the SE said the car would have a better drive feel )..

so looks like he gave some gd advice.

hope I'm driving it by next wk.

Your SE sold you a life saver. IAS is a real douser mate - it's like pouring ice-cold beer down your pants after you've just warmed up with a couple of Viagra pills :)

Wob - You need paint work protection. The angry birds are waiting to shit on your car!

Hehe, bro, I was really concerned about that, but for now, I have protection - basement carpark no angry birds hahahah (our neighbour's chow Angmoh tenants just vacated, so I'm parking the F02 over at their carpark - otherwise, a bit of a tight squeeze, to be honest :( )

But, I'm taking your advice - am deciding whether to try out Sonax or Revol.... Any suggestions?

Err... WELCOME TO THE WAIT LONG LONG CLUB BRO hahahah.

So, are you still going ahead with it? Is yours indent, or essentially off the rack? If indent, just wait lah - it's one of a kind.

If off the rack (ex stock), honestly, 18th March vs FOUR MONTHS later - by that time, the face lift would be out liao, as some of the brothers here have been making fun of me previously!

Dun know still thinking should add or not? huh? facelift i thought this is the newest version already..
 
Re: Any F13 owners collected their cars yet? Share impressions please!

Haha, no I was just joking about the face lift - I mean, if you wait another 4 months, it'll be SO LONG before you see your ride. Bro, I've been down that path before - and I can tell you, it's no fun waiting for your ride to come, while everyone else is busy & happy collecting their new rides :(.

OK, first impressions of the car.

At the PML delivery centre

Unfortunately, because my SE kinda helped me 'expedite' my delivery (it was either Thursday 8th March, or Vesak Day/Thaipusam/Good Friday 2013, 2014, 2015...), I was ushered into one of the smaller side delivery suites - and the place was somewhat smaller than the suite where I took delivery of the F02 in January of last year.

Still, that was just a small blip which was very quickly forgotten when the doors opened to reveal my spanking new, freshly washed & polished Carbon Black 640i M-sport - without sunroof. It was love at first sight. The effect of the spotlights in the delivery suite really showed off the iridescent quality of Carbon Black. At one angle, it looks midnight black - at another, it looks a deep shade of purple blue. Even my wife (who's a diehard Merc fanatic) had to acknowledge that the color was a good choice.

After checking out the paintwork for scratches (yes, I'm damn ngeow), I checked out the rest of the car. I love the diffuser, and the fact that my exhaust is painted in chrome black. I'm so ngeow, I got the SE to remove the exhaust extractor so I could take a photo of the back :) - gotta make her work hard for her commission, right? hehehe.

Then, I checked out the wheels. I had specified the 373M 20" rims, and they look great! Except that the rims were a bit wet! My SE said it was due to the washing that they just did for my car, I think it's :shakehea: just a bad job done by PML's detailers.

Still, I like those rims very much ... and and painted black brake calipers are a very nice touch.
Swee Leh... Bro wobbles...

Finally after such a long long long wait :D

Are we planning for any rounding??

Look Wobbles, I may sound like a broken record on this subject but you are dealing with an SE who made you wait more than 6 months for an originally new model, now on the way out for G13, and you dun even have a single pic of her?

I mean..I went to just have a look see at Audi R8 myself and I went away with at least a pic of the SE who attended to me! I GPGT ok!



I think you should go reflect on yourself abit...
Bro MW..

I want to change back to AUDI!!!!

Bro jamesyeow & fellow 6ers - I'm keen to drool over all your rides, but please lemme have time to go do a tint, then also need to get paint protection first ... will also need to buy rim cleaner from Sonax, hehehe :)

Then, I'll feel safer from angry birds....

I have been diy grooming my car over the last 2 nights. Total 4 layers of sealant!
 
Re: Any F13 owners collected their cars yet? Share impressions please!

Bro helbreath - woah! What products do you use!? 4 layers of sealant? Your car would reflect light like a solar mirror!

I using zaino. Layers of z5 and maintain it with z6 after every wash. It is quite easy to diy when your ride is relatively new. One time can last a few months for me. But do at night is not the best idea. The lights at cp not bright enuff.
