Re: BMW newbie

Mine is groomed by 'Green Genie'. Even my previous ride was groomed by them for years till ride was exported with the same original coat of paint, no circle or shirvels marks at all.
They are mobile service and do not advertise in any forums as they get their customers throught recommendations.

Some basic details
- No membership fees. Fees payable is based on per grooming session and in cash.
- 1st grooming session is $120-$200 depending on vehicle size/colour, subsequent grooming is at 50%.
- They recommend 3 months interval between grooming unless you want it more frequent.
- They use their own products which is biodegradeable. Only other product they use is SONAX wheel/rim stain removal, for real stubborn stain on rim.
- They can come to your location or drive your vehicle to a sheltered location for grooming and return your vehicle.
- Grooming service has nothing to do with polishing or waxing thus no circle or shivel marks even after many sessions.
- Coloured rides (not white/black), u can have e 'mirror look' effect on entire chasis with multiple applications in 1 session (cost will go up accordingly).
- They only serve customers in Eastern part of Singapore only.

If you are interested, PM me for their contact number.

NOTE: I am not their agent, just a regular satisfied customer for almost a decade. Price guide e.g. My White 135i cost $160 for 1st groom and will cost $80 for subsequent groom/maintainence.

But I am living at the west side of the island.

Re: BMW newbie

Thinking of upgrading to 19" rims. Is it too big for e90? Is there any recommended rim that is light so pick up won't be affected much? What is forged rims? What is staggered rims? What are their benefits?

Hi BMW,

19ins sure heavy.......go for 18ins best........
Staggarred is the rear rims width is wider than the front rims......


Forged wheels are strong, dense, yet very light wheel that high performance car enthusiasts use for their cars almost exclusively. The term “forged” refers to making an alloy wheel by forcing a raw block of metal into a shape with extreme pressure. Forging is an expensive, multi-stepped process.

Most of the alloy wheels on the market are one-piece cast wheels, not forged wheels. The difference between the two processes is that casting involves placing liquefied aluminum into a mold. As the aluminum cools, it is formed into a wheel. There are several different ways to accomplish this, including gravity casting and low-pressure casting.

The main benefit of forged wheels over cast wheels is the weight. To understand the benefits of lighter wheels, it is necessary to understand the differences between “sprung weight” and “unsprung weight” in relation to your vehicle. Sprung weight is supported by the suspension, including the transmission, engine and chassis. On the other hand, unsprung weight refers to everything else, including the suspension system and the components attached to it. Surface imperfections in the roads place force on unsprung weight, which then reacts with its own movement. The less unsprung weight in a vehicle, the less it is affected by the road and other outside forces.

Any reason why staggered rims?

Re: BMW newbie

Hi BMW,

Staggred looks goooood plus better road holding as you have a wider tyres at the rear.....( good cornering )








cheers

 

[zhenlie]

Re: BMW newbie

Well the down side about staggered wheels are that front and rear wheels will be different so can't do an all round wheels rotation...so i reckon its more of a cost isue..

well after said, i still sarpork a staggered setup....!
