Bro, mine is Alpine White with Black Interior. I actually sold my E250 coupe after 7 months coz i couldn't stand the drive anymore haha. How much would shipping cost be if you order from the website?

Looks like you already have a big plan for your f13 312 looks really good man. Are they heavy? I presume you will be tinting the entire car pretty dardk haha. I wouldnt have the patience for indent orders. haha.

Keep me posted if you see any nice kits?

Alpine white with 30% tint all round plus black interior damn sweet. MTL

Bro Spursburger, Alpine White with Black Interior is a classy combination! Like what bro Ahwing said, MTL ... tint tint!

Anyway, back to the 312 rims, they actually can quote you an estimated shipping fee - when I last checked, for my F02's 312 21" rims, the total shipping came up to about £500. Then, you still have to factor in GST when it gets to Singapore. I estimated it would cost me about S$6000.00 to get those rims shipped over, with GST.

PML cut me a good deal (because I was getting the rims tog.with my new F02) and they allowed me to use the $1000 vouchers that my Sales Exec gifted us, and it came up to be about the same to get it from Singapore, so I didn't bother to order it from the website.

But, seeing how I've exhausted the vouchers, and I don't think I have the heart to squeeeeeeze my poor Sales Exec for more of them with this F13, I might end up ordering from the website should I dislike my 373M rims... who knows, we might end up organizing a bulk purchase? heheh.

Re: Any F13 owners collected their cars yet? Share impressions please!

Don't you guys get the 20% voucher for accessories? Not a bad deal for the rims when you get 20% off.....

Oh Ya, that's why I didn't end up getting from the UK site - on top of the PML $ vouchers I squeeeeeezed from my Sales Exec, there was also a welcome kit with some silly CD, a couple of booklets about BMW Welt and Car Services, and of course the 20% vouchers

By the way,Bro TheNew7, what power box did you end up fitting onto your 640i F12 ah?

Bro Ahwing, tks for the tip - but I'm looking for Ferric Grey ones. The weight question is an interesting and important one - I never thought much about it for the F02 because that car is always on cruise mode only - fastest speed done is 100km/h only to date. But for my F13... That will be a very very different story hehehe.

Maybe I go do some research and see what I can find to share with the brothers here

I can't remember the brand but since you don't have you car yet, just wait till you do cause there's always new stuff coming out. You can also do juice box, but I heard got side effect so I went the powerbox route.

I also tinted with Cool n Lite. My last car was done by them and quite happy. If you got a sliver or white body, check out the blue tint, look a little like Merc.

When you get your car, contact me again and I will point you the direction to the tuner.....

Re: Any F13 owners collected their cars yet? Share impressions please!

Tks bro TheNew7! I will definitely contact you again when my damn delivery is due. Machiam waiting for baby to come out now... seriously impatient. Powerbox sounds really good, especially since you've done it - your F12 can be the guinea piggy mah hahah.

My car is carbon black - am not looking for too heavy tint, otherwise, confirm TP magnet for summons. But one thing I will do is to get my usual LTA approved Euro White/Yellow plates - confirm look swee swee on Carbon Schwartz with Shadowline hehehe

Tks tks bro xspace. I have to admit, while the wait is killing me, I am certain of the adage "good things come to those who wait" will hold true.

BTW, My CFO at home will not allow me to spend much money on the car anymore. But please keep me posted of any lobang. Can always under declare. haha.

No problem! But this is only a humble 640i, not the mighty 650i - dun be too disappointed hor, hehehe. You can be sure I'll make a damn loud announcement when I finally get the keys to my car - after all those months of cold showers and waiting, I am sure to explode when the car comes!

Bro Ahwing, did my research on those 312 20". Turns out that these rims are considered VERY LIGHT given their size:

OEM 17" (sytle 237) + Pirelli RFT = 26.08kg each.
OEM 20" (312) + Conti DW = 26.1kg Front, 26.76kg Rear.
OEM 19" (style 351m) + Michelin PSS = 26.04kg Front, 26.44kg Rear

Hope that helps!

Can use this website to check the rims. The Conti DW tyre is lighter than PSS.

Bro Wobbles, what is the standard wheel model on the F13 from performance? is it 351M? honestly, i can't even remember what the wheel look like. haha.

do you think changing the wheels (wider and bigger) would have impact to any of features on the system like the auto park etc?
