i think it's value for money lah... my monthly petrol bill is around 1.5-2k. Now I can easily half it. Power & cheaper(diesel) is a good combination.

Wow, definitely a very good story and review of your car. I enjoyed reading every single part of it Unfortunately mine is an AP and the condition is probably far worse than yours. Btw, is your car originally white or you switched colors? Everything looks superb from the exterior to interior. I wish mine comes with the latest i-drive like yours

i think you get it upgraded right? i've been informed SG can do it(with latest 3D Maps somemore!). If i'm not mistaken, should be around 7k+. maybe cheaper?

I enjoyed this thread

Been thinking of laminating my panels ( e39 ) with 3M Dinoc for long time already. And the diesel powerplant really bites me.

I haven't did it yet because this guy quoted me RM13-14K for it I think it's a bit too much for a GPS, lol

bro, i did look into the water press technology, but the guy told me it will take about 1 week to do the job.

you still need to get someone to take out the panels(probably you can check wtih mzone since they are familiar in the process of taking out the panels). Once it's out, then can pass to the guy to laminate(water press thingy) it...

Thanks thetaj, I had been specificic about the diesel when I was looking for a bmw. Apart from the high torque diesel car has, it is also very fuel efficient. As of now, I'm a happy camper drove my wife's car for dinner yesterday and I was complaining to my wife how come her car doesn't "move" when I floored it. seriously, after nearly 2months of ownership of the diesel, driving another petrol car felt lame(no offence to petrolheads as I'm comparing to my others petrol cars in my stable)
