End up, the F10 is still slightly pulling to the left, I think it is due to our roads are always slide to the left for drains. This is why the pulling is oppsite to what from this forums reading, in which, they are pulling to the right where there are left-hand-drive.
Sorry for
Sometimes I just wander if this is normal phenomenon or only my F10?

Sorry for the delay. Picked up car on Sat. Left HK Sat night and returned this morning. Only had iPad with me while away.

This is taken just after I picked it up. Will post updates as I make changes. No pulling to the left (yet) and she seems fine so far.

Where do you guys get your car care stuff? Any old shop in Mong Kok? The car is filthy already from all this rain, and I want to look after the paint right from the start. Two buckets. Sheepskin mit, snow foam gun etc. Any ideas where I can get this stuff?

(sorry for the crappy iPhone pic) Will get some nice SLR shots after I move house next week.

Congrats SK.

Yeah, better take care off the paint right away to avoid swirling. Don't know why but seems like the F10 paint is kind of weak. Easily swirled. I had a nice wax job done after 3 months to get rid of the a few swirls. Tough job to up keep for black.

Yup, you need mods bro. Hehe.

Congrats, SK .. haven't seen those 535i tailpipes in ages.. def. better looking than the 528/3 ones!
Used to get some stuff from MK shops, but found they don't sell much more than the common crap, seeing that you're particular about what u buy I think the internet/ebay is your best shot. Ebay is best if you know what you're looking for

(Jacky, I think its an individual car issue, alignment maybe.. most of us seem fine.
Rc, if you don't want him to use your autotoll haha, im not a germ-aphobe, but I got cringes when I saw my dad have his elbow on the middle leather, and he doesn't sweat alot already)

Our 528's came with the same wheels as yours.

I got my car care stuff online. Shipping is very expensive though so I suggest you buy everything in one go. Went for Klasse All In One, Klasse Sealant, and P21S 100% Carnauba Wax. I went around MK and can't find these anywhere.
