Personal experience from many years ago.

consumer council I mean apple daily, next magazine and etc. These shops will run out of luck with the media exposure.

The more I think about it, the more i do realize it is a very novice mistake. There should be a methodical checklist of things to go thru before sending off to customer.

Agreed this should have been measured before going out. It probably slipped because of the urgency to get them to fedex in time. When things are rushed problems happen.

We are working with Mlai to work out some type of reimbursement for the hub correction. Although a minor mistake it is a pain. We do not leave our customers in the cold when a problem arises.

Jorge, this is not your mistake as it is a problem with the production.

However, i don't agree in blaming the problem in being rushed. When I ordered, the wheels are ready to ship with a different finsihing. Now even when we removed the refinished paint, the center bore size still didn't fit, which meant that the set of wheels would not have fitted in their original finish anyway. And I am sure that wasn't quite rushed at all.

That's not what I meant. I was implying that they probably didn't check it as thoroughly as necessary because of the urgency.

F10s really have bad luck lately. All other bros, watch out. But traffic really is insane lately. Summer holiday begins, the football matches, weekend drivers....

Sadly it was one of my others... So lucky not a F10 jinx or something! But nonetheless the summer traffic is horrible..

Plus the meter maids out in force... 3 parking tickets in 10 days.. Ouch

Not your 997 I hope.

Yeah, may be there are quotas to meet lately for traffic tickets. Better get into the parking garages.

I wonder whats happening with MLai's wheels.

yesterday I was driving myself and 5 others crammed into the car...the car still moved with decent power >..still deliberating...i am at a crossroads for whether to change to 535..

but on another note, RC3...a m5 in 2 yrs time isnt out of the realm of possibility...but not in hk..not much value you can get from that car here.

Most people buying M5s, and other supercars, here in Hong Kong meant to drive real slow so people can see

No.... My car is in the shop.....

[AsiaKid]

I think my next trade in might be for a a6 3.0t..called hk shop..773,000 with quattro..and it should be easily tuneable with stasis to 370HP... not bad for that price but i will hope this for a year and wait and see the long term reveiws

In the meantime, what is happening with this forum? So quiet!!

Test drove the A7 3.0T Quattro. I could've gone for that car if it were available last year when I bot the F10

Bumped into mali at WK. The poor 550 is really scratched and dented. Wish him well after the body work. Was gonna chat longer but the coffee ladies busted me away.

BTW, will be taking my car in for the front bumper alignment adjustment tomorrow.

AsiaKid, just wait a bit more for your F14. Saw them in person. Good looking, hehe. Hey, I got the same so they must be good looking.

Nice to finally meet you, too, RC3 Seems Eibach drops a bit lower than your ACS

RC3 has H&R's. Met him over the weekend too

Got to test drive his car too with the Hamann exhausts

Yup, me too. Guess your Eibach dropped a bit more since installed. Lower than my H&R actually.

Yup, nice meet jxnco. My Advan Sport tires are really more bumpy and noisy than your PS2.

Heard you made deposit for the M front. Congrats.

How about the quad? Made up your mind yet?

I think I am pretty much set with the lip. However still couldn't get in touch with Z shop to confirm the $.

Yup paid the deposit already for the m-front. Had to tell WK to make sure mine is properly aligned when they install it. Let me know if they can fix yours.

As for the quad, unfortunately not yet. Trying to work with the Z shop to see if I can get the quad look without sacrificing low end torque. Will know more this thursday. I can talk to them on thursday regarding your lip if you want.

The uneven gaps are certainly fixable. I compared mine to mlai's car so WK has no excuses. Will keep you updated.

I have a deal with Z shop already. Thanks bro. Will go make deposit on Wednesday.

This is not my car. But mine has alignment problem just as this one. Even worse the fender and bumper gaps are getting wider over time. Definitely need the shop to fix these.
