Re: F10 Launch

lousy launch compared to what they have in Malaysia

s'pore launch seems to be targetting the mass audience as suppose to exclusitivity. did m'sia get such large turn outs?

Re: F10 Launch

those r not ///M5 rims. probably a new design.

oh, i see.
could not find the rim in the F10 catalogue and have some fade idea that the M5 was wearing something like that so was thinking that its the M5 rim
how to get to the thread regarding F10 M5 which you started

Re: F10 Launch

There's finger food, pop-corn, balloons and free valet parking at PML this weekend. I prefer to park the car myself though. SE says F10 is available for test-drive but strangely I did not see any cars being test-driven while I was there. Showroom has a good crowd. A lot of people are browsing the F10s. The entire ground floor is dedicated to the F10, I think about 8 of them at Alexandra.

Re: F10 Launch

With such OMV, PML is laughing to the bank

I am seriously having thought of self-importing 1 unit from UK, have friends who are in the car trade there. At $40K OMV x 2.28 = $92K cost of car. But gonna be a bit hassle, but if I can save $, do not mind going through the shit. Was at PML today and found that from Nov 2009 onwards, all Self-import/PI Bimmers have to pay PML a $10K non-refundable registration fee in order for car to be serviced/maintained by them.

In the past, some PI actually under-declared OMV at custom, with PML being the AD declaring such OMV, really makes job of self-importing easier

BMW
523i (523I 2.5 AT ABS D/AB 2WD 4DR GAS/D) OMV = $40,581
523i Highline (523I 2.5 AT ABS D/AB 2WD 4DR GAS/D NAV) OMV = $45,032
535i Twin Turbo (535I 3.0L AT D/AB 2WD 4DR GAS/D SR HUD) OMV = $65,850

Re: F10 Launch

prices aside, the car's a really nice ride don't u guys agree?

Re: F10 Launch

OMV for the 535i is almost the same as OMV for 1 year old 335i but the F10 cost a great deal more than an E90 1 year ago. Although COE is higher now, when car is scrapped after 9+ years, COE rebate is almost zero while PARF rebate is 50% of OMV. So in the long term, OMV is more important in deciding the car's resale value.

Re: F10 Launch

i think the rims are borrowed from M5 right?

Nope. Its the Style 356 rims 20" - very nice. Only wished they came in 18" or 19" versions.

Re: F10 Launch

Does that mean that 1 to 2 years down the road, the E90 and E60 will have higher resale value than the F10?

for 5'ers, I will imagine a may 2010 f10 commanding a 5-10k premium over a march 2010 e60...

F10 should trump in the short to mid term. My guess is after 8 or 9 years, the E90 or E60 with higher OMV will overtake the F10.

I will plan for F10 LCI model or replacement model for E90 in 4 or 5 years' time. Hopefully PML will have adaptive drive as standard option then.

Re: F10 Launch

Isn't the new F10 having LCI rear LED lamp?
