Yes, I would like to know if you have any TT sessions in Subang area? I think there is one Every Friday night in Aman Suria.

and Official Members registraiton, is it closed? cos the message said last day is 31 March.

Once again, thanks

With regards to your questions above:
1) Yes, I am having a Black E90 (that's also my forum nick). Yours is the Monaco Blue (nice color).
2) TT in Aman Suria is on every Fridays, however, we meet once a month at Borneo Rainforest, Sunway. (Can also join us on Fridays for Whiskey tarik as well...)
3) Official membership is ALWAYS open for newbies.(The 31st of March closing is to paid up our 2008 membership subscription before our AGM, an election was held then).

Hope information provided does help.

Yup, I got my response about membership thingy already.

Ok, I'll probably join the next Borneo Rainforest session.

I think theft is less of an issue; it's more car-hijacking. New BMWs are hard to steal, so it's much easier to carjack. Do take care and be careful.

Yes, there are more gal drivers now. In fact, Grace, our treasurer is one of them.

Rachel, regarding your question on the E90 sports model, apart from the rims, it can also be differentiated from the bodykit, sharkfin antenna and also the black lining at the windows. Anyhow, you have made a very good choice. Nice car and nice color too. Maybe you would like to post some pictures of your car.

 

[racheltoh]

You know what....the Ingress Auto salesman (the branch where I got my 2nd hand) told me, if people carjack you...just give it to the theft. I thought he was joking. now i will be more careful. and i need to learn from all of you sifus and si-mou (grace) about the car..

Ok..will upload pixs soon.

The salesperson is absolutely right. Your life is much more important than your car. Don't fight, just give it to him.

Yes, sound advice. Comprehensive insurance should cover almost all the loss.

Both, David & you sales advisor are absolutely correct....your N52 is insured, so not to be too worried, if you ever loose one, you can always buy another.
However, you life is most important (the golden goose that lays the golden egg, in this case, your egg is your N52).

Take care & be more cautious, then you'll have more golden eggs in time.
