With the KWV3, you are really a baller. It seems like you are an experienced mod person. Beg you have many plans coming.

No wait for your rims so you are ultra lucky.

What color is your car? I thought you have black sapphire, but it seems sophisto gray.

You have the window trim wrapped or you have the shadow line option?

Thanks RC3. Yes, no wait on the rims are very lucky. Rims are installed today and now will wait for the V3 arrive. Now the front is still a bit high, while he rear is fine, just need a little drop.

I also ordered the DVDinMotion CDs, all BMW in HK locked this function. So we actually need 2 CDs, rather than other contury that only need 1. I will let you guys know, if it's able to work, in case someone here interested to get this function for their kids to keep quiet.

My color is Space Grey and only got the preimum function like electronic tailgate and parking camera, no shadow line option.

Don't know if it takes 20secs more or less but I only use surround view when parking into a space........

F10 is good but E60 is even better to drive.

you missed out the main 1 which is the steeling which feels like a robot truning for you.

The A6 is not cheap, for the 3.0t with reasonable option already get you to the 800k+ range, unless you want the stone age 2.8 engine with zero options for 509k...

I have driven both and every 1 say the F10 dose not handle as good as the E60. Yes the Chassis is alot stiffer but it is way heavy. compare to e60 which is about 400kg more.
If F10 loss wight then yes it maybe better.
If for day to day drive the F10 wins but if for fun now and then the E60 wins.

we are going to have a meetup on the 30th maybe you can try out my car and you will love it.

when I asy cheap I mean stock with no options.
F10 with full option will be over 950+
for me big engine is usless and boring in HK small engines with big power is a win win for me.
2.5i with 270hp+ or even better 2.0 with 280hp+
If I what power the 335 with 400hp+ which 1 of our member have and it is fun.

E60 was/is good, but F10 is far superior in every way. Big engine is not always about hp, NVH and torque is very important too.

Are you saying F10 is not as fun as the 135?

Put it this way, F10 is a sport luxury cruiser. 135i is a sport car

F10 is more for comfort, very good handling, excellent acceleration.

135i is way more fun on the back roads
