Hi All

[publica]

After looking for close to a year.
Finally bought resale 520i from PPSL in Jan during the carnival.
It was not easy to get white with the brown interior at the price we want!
It's my wife favourite car and wanted it all along.

After years of driving Cat A sized car, the biggest adjustment for me is the going up
the tight carpark rams.
This is my first rear wheel drive and I think I cannot go back to front wheel...haa haa

Re: Hi All

Thanks. yes BMW "feel" good. My previous 2 cars was VW and before that was Honda.
Feel wise, BMW wins.
The only weak for me is the audio.
No teewter even for the 520 (F10)

I bought the tweeter pillar from PML and change to the Audio System X-Ion 200 BMW.
No amp yet. Just drop in.Even that , the sound is much better. even my 6 year old girl can tell (I did not even tell her That I changed the speakers).

Re: Hi All

should spend more on the mods than ICE.

Re: Hi All

ICE, I bought 2nd hand and in good condition. Contacts very shiny and come with original box.
It's selling $1200 new.
The crossover was not even used as the previous owner had active setup.

$300 well spent.

The other 2 mod is putting Black View - I had an old one, I moved that to the rear and bought another Black View for the front.
And also changed to 19 inch BMW 331 staggerred original rims.
I am changing to 18 as wife do not like the 19.
The stock 17 is way to small.

Re: Hi All

Better than 17 at least...that is what I am telling myself....haa haa

Thinking of exhaust.
I love those low (not too loud) sounding exhaust.
Will research some more. Any suggestions on exhaust or other mods ?

Re: Hi All

lower your ride/bodykit/the right rims!

The is an exhaust section with all the different workshops, go shopping there and see what u like. hmmmm add on a piggyback to squeeze more out of your ride?

Re: Hi All

Thank for the suggestions!

Will check out the exhaust section first.
I think change one thing at a time .... enjoy the mod for a while then start thinking of more.
