Hey all,

How did i choose my nickname ? wow. I can't really remember.

But i do know it started from when i was still actively playing and competing in CounterStrike, probably 10+ years ago ? Its stuck every since then..

Hi all,

Started motoring and modding life seven years ago with a zippy Suzuki Swift Sport. A Honda Integra, Audi A4, and Civic Type R later, here I am with a Beemer 325i. In-line 6 FTW!

Re: wch, how did you choose / get your nickname?

mani-san is "Mr Money"; mani has the same pronounciation as Money & san in Mr in Japanese.

I'm new in this forum! I've just got my '06 523i over the weekend from a direct owner. Although the car has clocked 218k km, it has been serviced solely by PML since Day 1. I got it for a good price so can't complain much. The ride is really good. Good to know all of you.

Quick intro, I've had:
Started with Daihatsu Charade (24 yrs ago!)
Honda Civic
Rover 416
Mitsubishi Galant
Honda Oddysey
Hyundai Getz (still driving this as 2nd car)
& now BMW 523i!!!

I also just got an 8 yo E60, 523i. overall pretty satisfied. I think most important is to check whether there's a jerking when going to stop. This likely means the gearbox need to be overhauled (change solenoid). Others are the usual electronics (power windows, mirrors, electric seats), then check whether there's any warning indicators from the I-drive.

The one thing I am not satisfied is with the FC, I thought it should do better than 8km/L that I am getting now. I drive 70-80% on expressway, so expected ~9 to 10.

Happy hunting!
