Like babies compared to some of us ..
Well not A for too long, in few years going to B

Though not a F10 owner yet ... planning, that's why I arrived here, I am considering the better options.
Soon I will make a post asking pricing, financing, delivery time for F10 in HK

I decided not to get the 535i because I didn't want to pay the extra $150,000 for the extra 40 hp when nothing with 4 wheels will ever really give me teh feeling of a motorcycle..so might as well save the money!

Maybe i will meet some of you HK'ers in the future.
welcome and hope to meet up in our next meet up.

I am hoping to get H&R springs and 20" rims. I promised my fiance i wouldn't switch anything else. Does either of you have suggestions of shops in hk (RC3 - i read about your experience at Monster). It seems a lot of pple like forgestar, is that because of the price value? I know if I go 19" to 20" it has to be good design, because the 528i can't handle unbalanced wheels too well i think.

As for the ducati vs the bmw..it was really funny...for the test drive, the guy said feel free to just "go"...haha...i wasn't very impressed..the only comparable acceleration to motorcycle is really go-kart. But that is ok, this is just more for comfortable and a bit of weekend fun driving to Stanley or up to Peak. Riding the ducati is very hot because i have a full race system on it so it burns my legs....all red after a ride. I will probably move the bike to zhuhai track and keep the car for recreation.
Not try and scare you off but here is some info for you for buying a HK car
It is very different for the KM on a car in HK compare to US or UK.
over the year I have seen many BMW cars with about 45,000km with many small problems, the roads in HK and China are not good at all and bad for the cars. So 20,000km in us is like 10,000km in HK. Unless you travel a lot of long distant on motor way.

Sorry to ask you all questions already, but is ordering the wheels myself in much cheaper? Did i read somewhere that someone had forgestars they wanted ot sell..(i am not sure becaues i hae been reading lots of boards the last few days).

ZIC is expensive I guess, but I used to have a friend who raced gokarts in the old new territories race track. And after he told me how expensive the maintenance and storage was there, it makes it sound like ZIC is ok value. Haha.
getting all the mods your self is always cheaper about 20% to 50% cheaper
like my wheels they are 50% cheaper than buying in HK

I paid $660K before the tax increase and I only have sunroof, sunblinds, soft close doors and anthracite headliner. I really wanted the tailgate function. Sort of pisses me off
That's a really good deal. I paid around the same as the promotion price now but only have sunroof.

Totally agree, my rims are full of brake dust now but barely noticed they are unwashed for dog years.

Actually no. What I was wearing was a lot more professionally looking than what I wear now You know how those investment bank people look back then

And nowadays, I go into dealerships in t-shirt, shorts and sandals
