Re: New to BMW
Hi Sigh...
Welcome on board!!! Enjoy ur stay here!!
A word of advice.
pls observe this if u want ur car to stay shiny, coil over n brake disc in tip top condition.
Before off engine, pls turn off air con, radio.
Depress brake fully then pull handbrake.
Then only u can off engine. Failure to do so might have adverse results on yr new car. Many Lao Jiaos here can attest to that.
Oh yes, pls close yr roof too. Stupid crows in SG trained to shit into cars w open sun roof since young. Si bei zhun one.
YNWA.

Re: New to BMW
Hi Thanks for all the valuable advice and the info!! Yeah I used to be liverpool fan but now no time to support them hahha...
Btw another question is the car also comes with a Garmin Navigation Portable Plus GPS but evertime it just stuck at the BMW logo screen saying loading map...and then copyright etc etc...and black out and repeat the same page. Even I slide the power to the left to on it remains the same. A few times, it will say charing battery, slide left to power on. Sometimes it works but sometimes it don't. I am quite fed up the GPS liao...is it faulty? Need you guys advice for the GPS...

Re: New to BMW
Although I did not check, it should be safe to say the Garmin GPS is using the World Global System 84 (WGS-84) for navigation. This is very suitable for finding general location world wide, however for accurate navigation in dense SG, the Datum (ellipsoid) & Map Projection is not suitable.
For accurate navigation purpose in SG/MY, the Datum and Projection has to be WGS84 and Transverse Mercator Projection respectively.
Just to highlight why Garmin is not suitable & inaccurate in SG while it maybe huge in e states.het;786480 said:In any case, our garmin gps is a piece of crap, crappy UI and always advise the long route + could b pretty inaccurate at times.....the only good thin is its integrated into our sound syst...but i since bot a Holux and neber looked back.......Garmin mayb huge in the states, but crappy imho locally
