how abt the bukit bintang and sungai besi one? any good SA to look for?

 

[astroboy]

Had a friend who bought an E60 and sent it for after market BlueTooth upgrade because his E60 has no BlueTooth interface. The after market job some how screw up the iDrive system and AB denied warranty claim for the item. He end up paying RM30k for a new iDrive system.

So be careful when u do after market add-on.

 

[keeekeee]

man ..... then i think i will not put a single after market gadget at all. wanna keep the 3yrs warranty! cannot afford anything happen if really buy it hehheheheh

keeekeee,
5er is due for replacement in 2 yrs or less.

if you dont mind, getting it now is the right move since lots of goodies you get from the 523 facelifted version compared to those who bought a yr ago cos there's nothing in there.

the new 5er is gong to be even more exciting i guess.

why not just settle for a camry now and save up for 5er in 2 yr's time?

hi there spaceman~
i also thinking also the same thing. i believe 5er will come out new model by 2010. i think perhapys i shd get camry first all my friends keep asking me to get the facelift hehehhe see how it goes la. Really what i hate is the damn camry need to wait 5months!! i hate waiting ... guys anyone got the connection can get camry sooner? and somemore i was thinking to get a MPV after 5er.
or i shd get myself a MPV first then 5er. dun wanna end up with two sedan by 2010

 

[Spaceman]

then get your MPV first.
wait for the all new 5er in 2 yrs, then you can keep the 5er for another 6-7 yr life cycle b4 its next change in perhaps 2018?

i did the same when i first consider the E46 in 2004 which lots of goodies were added and very tempting interest rate. but i waited...and waited for the E90 to launch in 2005 April. so, i am pleased with my decision.

riding E90 325i CBU.

 

[David Yong]

Go and get one new Volvo S80 now.

 

[evangerlist]

keeekeee,

I have a similar dilemma. Been considering to get the E60 525i and now being end Nov./Dec. 07 am waiting until 2008 to get an 08' car.

F10 is expected in 2010 (month still unknown?)...But the burning questions are WHEN will it hit our shores after Europe launch? When will the beast be unleashed on our roads??

I too have considered the wait and figured hey, 2 years+ is a long time and anything can happen. With each passing day, we don't get younger (I'm 30 btw).

Like what astroboy said, "If you can afford it, LIVE it!" Perhaps in 2 years+ just swap it for the F10!

 

[Juan Powerblow]

Man, I'll be keen to know more about how the F10 will look like and what it will have! Can't wait.

BMW 523i vs Volvo S80 2.5T

Go and get one new Volvo S80 now.

Just to side track. I think David Yong got a interesting point. Has anyone done a back-to-back test drive on these models? I did a test drive on both Volvo & 525i M-sport, within 15 minutes apart. The latest Volvo S80 2.5T felt more responsive and smooth. Also, not to mention the savings of no less than RM 140k if you chose the Swedish babe!

Oops, I know this is the BMW Club site.............so don't kill me for the above comments

The only problem with Volvo is just the resale value (this is still ok as you will be buying it with a saving of no less than RM 140k or cheaper by RM 140k) and the high maintenance cost especially in spare parts! I owned a Volvo S80 for 6 years before switching to an E90 325i now. The Volvo is a very comfortable car. Performance is not bad though. But I just dun understand why people always comparing BMW vs Merc vs Audi but Volvo is not in the list for comparison :questionmark: :questionmark:

 

[astroboy]

Yeah! Finally keekeee place a deposit for E60 SE model.. congrates! and looks like we can lock up this thread lio before turning this into a Volvo thread..

There's a 940 at home and I hated the car! Not responsive, heavy, high FC like driving a tank!

 

[Juan Powerblow]

Congrats KK! You won't regret it!

U can't compare 940 with those latest models like S60 or S80! Volvo has improved so much.

 

[keeekeee]

[k3nny]

keeekeee: Im using Rike Cool on my E60 525i and V-Kool previously on my GTR and Cayenne. I like the the Rike Cool much better.

Having said that, is there any reason why you did not consider the E60 525i parallel imported from Japan?

Arnd RM250k for a car with less than 10k miles and widescreen with navigation too.

 

[keeekeee]
