The F10 M5 concept is hot BTW.
You think so? I don't quite like the M5 concept. In fact, I prefer the M sport kit better as it is not as "MK"......

You are right about the diffuser, quite MK. And the black rims too. But this is only the concept, hope these will be improved. Yeah, bro, I know you don't like too much black.

For the front bumper, fender vent. I found them much better than the E60 M5. And I just have a thing about quad exhaust, if I further mod my car this is the next item on my list.

Guess your 2.0 is coming soon.

Yes! But probably going to delay picking it up until after Easter holidays (will be out town). And the 2.0 will have some surprises

i keep seeing e46 with the mkit.. the old black is 'dull' and doesnt look good.. the shiny one on e90 is much better

Good question, not sure if inspection is needed. anyone knows?

Is the adaptive headlights useful? I thought it is only good for driving on inter-state or etc.

the cops at roadblocks always look for exhaust, and see if you change anything in the engine compartment, .. i dun know the exact regulation

adaptive can turn left right, up and down, and 'cornering lights' ( i still have no idea what these are) i just noticed, when u go up and down parking lots, your headlights can get into ppls' eyes or into the ground.. but key is how well it works in practice

Had that on my 550 V1.0, and it worked pretty well...... But not particulat noticeable unless you are driving in a really dark place. In well lit streets and highways (most roads in HK), not really noticeable....

But I drove to the peak and the cornering lights are REALLY noticeble there....

That I have to investigate, really wanna do the exhaust in the future. Quad exhaust for 528 has one muffler and the right side is just tee-off. Don't know if it's legal?

Yeah, last time when I drove up the ramp at where I live, this neighbor of mine with the X5 pointed at me and swear a bit like saying my headlights are shooting right at him. What can I do? Turn off the lights? But my driveway is whinny and narrow, people always drive in the middle of the road and I would crashed for sure without turning on the headlights to warn the upcoming traffic. Anyway I was pretty mad for getting swear at.

Dai gor, you have all the goodies man. You hinted your 2.0 will have many more surprises. Don't tell me you have "all and every single one" of the options.

I always 'peek' at 7 series to see if their 'eyes' are moving.. i find that cool
Just mentioned it cuz its seems cheap compared to the other options..

Haha .. the X5 guy is obviously just jealous, cuz the f10 is so much better looking.. anyways, he's an SUV, don't they shine other ppl all the time?
Me too, but I dont want to turn on and turn off the xenons so often, so i just risk it..

Dun think its legal, if u dun get caught for it, itll be examined when u 7th yr mandatory check.. u can uninstall and reinstall again after, some guys do i think. if u dun race or get in trouble, cops rarely will catch illegal moding

Night vision! .. like waiting for the release of the next ipad/iphone,so exciting

Only the necessary ones and not the unnecessary ones
