Hello Adrian & Comptechie

Yes if you guys want to meet up can also to discuss the pros and cons of the recond units.

Where do we go from here?

Hi guys

Well theres a lot to consider when making this decision. My cousin just bought and E46 CI and wsa conned. Green card said yr of make 2002. When i peeled the seatbelt fabric it has been rubbed till u can barely see the yr. It was a 2000 model. Imagine how depressed he was.

SO lots of conmen out there so be careful. He got ripped of about 20k so he is still very pissed. U guys can set up a time so we can arrange a meeting for those who want to discuss about our prospects for the E60. And I'll bring a friend along who has an E60 if he's free. If not then ill just borrow his car so u guys can see.

Juan, just got it. Working on it currently. Jap Spec. Need to make some of the features work (idrive). Hehe... Otherwise lovely car.

bindablitz: What do you mean by make some of the features work?

Are all the characters in Japanese or there's no distronic?

Or are you contemplating making the Navigation work now?

 

[bindablitz]

telephone - bluetooth? - navigation - video (dvd) - mp3/wma and etc... basically the core iDrive function. The language is English UK (phew). Not sure whether I need to have or nice to have all the features. Will seek BMW Workshop expert with regards to the conversion. Stay tune.

Otherwise love the car to bits. Active Steering takes abit of getting used to. The 3.0L engine mated with the 6 speed auto is lovely. (used to drive the 528i with 5 speed auto - double vanos).

 

[k3nny]

If your comes with the bluetooth modules installed, you can make it work right?

MP3 apparently only works if you car comes with CCC which only comes with the Navi apparently.

Post something up when you're done! Would be really nice to check it out.

My car is an local CKD AB purchased 525i sport and the damn navi upgrade is RM30K!! Woah.
Haha

Hey man congrats on the new ride. Saw the missed call over the weekend and guessed it had to do with the new ride heheh.

Did yours come with the M tech kit? If not, I heard Stuttgart is selling them to used car dealers fitted and painted for ~Rm6k... and I saw the shipment of 22 kits come in on Friday last week.

 

[bindablitz]

k3nny,

Actually mine comes with Navi but Jap Navi and Widescreen LCD 16:9 8.8" I think. Will see how the conversion goes.

e46fanatic,

Yup took the leap of faith into the e60. No mine does not come with m-tech kit. I just drive it as is. You know me. Looks secondary. Power primary. Next trip to your office I come get you guys.

 

[E46Fanatic]

Looks like the conversation we had a few months ago about never getting another BMW has brought us back to.... Square 1 hahaha. I tot you had already paid a deposit on the Lexus??

Anyways, I think the E60 suits u better than the Lexus for some reason heheh.

 

[bindablitz]

Refundable deposit on the is250 which is not launched yet. So if the price is not right then I take back my deposit. Otherwise i am stuck with bimmer. Perhaps next step is the uncle merc. WJ is trying to get me to like the E280.

 

[dumeort]

it's been a while for this thread, is anyone still shopping for e60 like me? conclusion .... an imported ap 2005 e60 525i bmw sports rm 300k or AB pre-owned e60 523i rm 290k ?

 

[dannybaba13]
