Greetings fellow members and forumers of BMW Club Malaysia. It has been a while since I last posted new topics in this forum - well I have no reason to post anything ever since I sold off my beloved White Demon (the way I called it) E60 525i to my friend on that fateful Valentine's Day 2014. It was really hard to let it go but due to some personal and business decisions, I've got to do what I had to.
From that day since, I just stayed as a silent spectator and read posts in this forum whenever I have the time. Looking and thinking back on the efforts and the mods I'd put into the E60, sometimes I feel "sayang" to sell it. However, I know that it is in good hand as my friend really took good care of it. After that day, I still got to hitch a ride in my ex a few times... lol!
All that being said, it is obvious on why I post in this thread - the topic title says it all!! I haven't told anyone about this.. well, except my wife and my family members but since this forum holds a special place in my heart (after all, this was the first ever forum that I joined) I have decided to post it here.
What you have seen here is the rare specimen of Porsche 997 Carrera S year 2010 with the specs as below:
1) 3800cc new DFI engine with 380hp with famous PDK transmission
2) Sport steering with paddle shift
3) sunroof (not really a pre-requisite for me)
4) Sport Exhaust (rare spec as this option is really expensive)
5) Bi-xenon headlamps
6) Porsche crest embossed headrest (and this also cost few k in Malaysia)
I've already paid deposit for this car and now I am in the midst of applying bank loan... if the bank approves, then I will be getting my car sometimes in March. I was planning to purchase a Turbo model but it was year 2008 with Tiptronic S (5 speed transmission) and old engine... the idea of a 500hp turbo was very tempting but upon test drive of Carrera S, I knew that I did not regret my decision.
Once everything is confirmed, I will keep this thread running...

my loan has been approved and now they are in the midst of doing number plate interchange. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should be able to get the keys by end of the month! Since they are doing servicing and touch up paint complimentary, I'd asked them to change the rim color from silver to gunmetal and the effect? Pls give your comment
