just got the 162 rims at 18inches , costs a bomb but worth the look of OEM ,
its the oem 330i rims i believe so .
ride's a lot better now , noise levels are down quite a lot compared to b4 .
collecting the repair kit as am not running RFTs anymore couldnt stand the noise. plus its cheaper is most ways. lose a bit of power on bigger rims but who's counting anyway if u're in a UDM right?

alan,
So far the OBC is recording 8.6km/l, mostly town driving. Have only taken the car up to Pg once, so the rest of the 4000+ km has been driving in KL/PJ. I mainly use the D mode only. The DS is fun and it really sucks fuel

Guys/Gals,
I may have stumbled upon a work around to this 'problem'. I too hated the need to each time press the recirculate button. (These guys need to learn a thing or two from the Japs when it comes to aircond)
So try this out and tell me if it works for you. Turn your aircond on like usual and set it to recirculate (not auto). When you want to turn off your engine, turn off yr aircond (press the fan button). The next time when you start your car, try turning on your aircond by pressing the recirculate button on the steering, the aircond shld come on and it's in recirculate mode.
Cheers
