Sheer Driving Pleasure

I have to say the F10 is one of the best driving car I've ever driven. Everything just feels right, suspension, steering, interior quality, transmission and power delivery .

What a car! I've been telling everyone the F10 is Sheer Driving Pleasure.

Agree, one drawback is the car is a bit big and hard to maneuver especially in tight/narrow roads and driveways of Hong Kong. IAS would help, but I don't have it.

Or is it just me, my incompetent driving skill?

I like big cars. A 7 is too big and expensive so a 5 is about a perfect family car or perhaps a 5L!?

I like big cars only if I don't have to drive on those narrow driveways and roads. Try park in Leighton Center parking lot and you know what I mean.

I knew what you mean man. When I first park in Leighton Ctr, I was like what the? The ramp is very long and narrow, you really have to concentrate while you are turning and going up.

Beside, the speed bump near the exit is also kill my lowered car

Leighton Centre and Elizabeth House car parks are shocking. Parked at both once and avoid them at all cost now.

Yes a 550 with a couple of options is = to a base F02.

Parking at Leighton Center wasn't that bad. Done that with the F10 couple of times. The ramps may be a bit tight but the parking spaces are generally large enough.

You know that end of last year, BMW did a promotion on 730i and they only went for about HKD9xxK? Even a fully loaded 535i maybe close to that range!

Yes, but seriously a F02 is only good to be driven in in HK, Whereas a F10 is a drivers car.

Hey Mlai, did you trade your OE wheels to Wah Kee?

Traded in the original 328 wheels to wk for a good price. Traded in the 356 to advan for the f14. But i think I may keep the f14s for a while even if i switch wheels.

They did a promotion last year end on 730 vantage model at 888K only. I did a test drive but the car is still a bit big for me, everything else is very good

I went to the shop (as you guys recommended) the first time last week, saw this F10 2pieces in person and love them. The most important thing is they do have stock, 1 set left and no 4 months waiting time. Then desided to go..LOL

Congrats IC, your F10 rims match perfectly with your F10 Bimmer. Sick.

With the KWV3, you are really a baller. It seems like you are an experienced mod person. Beg you have many plans coming.

No wait for your rims so you are ultra lucky.

What color is your car? I thought you have black sapphire, but it seems sophisto gray.

You have the window trim wrapped or you have the shadow line option?

I think that's space grey And aren't those just normal trims?
