Finally, D day has arrived..... Got called by SA that my car has left the port and in the showroom!Will be collecting the car tomorrow. Farewell to my E60.....
Congrats bro. I'm sure you've fought hard to remain patient whilst awaiting delivery of your brand new F10. :top:
YEAH... had a bad experience with the SA, though she tried hard but coming from selling Suzuki to BMW, she knew nuts about cars especially the F10. She told me my car comes with M sport steering... was happy that even basic car come with it, but only to find out it is not. Ordered the fineline anthracite trim and the MMS she sent me is of Titanium trim. Managed to get someone from BMW Club Sg to do a direct swap.... But nevertheless... Excited!!!! will post pictures.... Feel sad for my beloved E60...
im sure the next few hours will make you feel uneasy till the time you have the key in your hand. congrats n enjoy beemering
Hahaha... The dealer was asking whether I want to collect the car today but I have to run the clinic til 10 pm.... Super off putting. Will go down to the dealer asap tomorrow morning.. Wanted to swap the titanium trim to fineline anthracite. One dude agreed for the swap but no more news from him. Keeping finger crossed.. Any bro wish to swap with me?? I will be heading back to KL around Early Nov for my wedding... F10 Wedding car.... BLSSFUL... Much more special when is MY OWN F10!!!! hahahaha.... Will post some pictures to do list. 3M Crystalline tint- Next Wednesday 10 am 18 inch 328 V spoke wheels- to do Tuesday 2 pm.. Will update as I go along Possible in future: Complete CIC retrofit with 10.7 inch Pro Navi and 6NR activation. P/s: Dealer just found out my car actually has Factory fitted Reverse camera He has to "tio" another PI car from his friend to promise early delivery as my initial order was cocked up!
now.. i have been racun to the max! was introduced to Vertini Super concave.20 inch . Can get full set with Brigestones at 4300 SGD. tempted... Should I swap for the 18 inch 328 that I have bought or try to trade in the 2 sets and get the 20 INCH!?? Dilemma.
Took the plunge! Ordered the Vertini Super/ Magic Concave 20 inch, Polished spokes with chrome lip. Fitted with Bridgestones S001 20' Mixed tires. Will be arriving at the end of the month. Here how's it look like. Apparently this guy I bought from, is the sole distributor for this American Brand.
Ok, here come some pictures. Arrived at the showroom at 1400 sharp. Done all the paper work, inspection and left the showroom around 1430. First impression: Didnt quite like the brushed titanium trim as it reminds me of my previous Bimmers.. but after driving around for the afternoon. it actually grew on me quite a lot. The texture of the trim is actually way better compare to the E90's one. the drive is very supple and NVH is way much improved over the E60. The cabin is also a few notch higher, love the driver orientated dash.. Power up the car, was very smooth with the 8 speeder and very quiet. The 17 Inch cushion very well and the car is very much like a baby 7 series. Definitely behave like one.. We had E39 and E60 before and is really a different feeling compare to previous generation of 5s.. Without further a due. Here come some pictures: Welcoming Angel eyes.... nice... side profile of the car....I must say: is a really nice car but way bigger than the outgoing E60 The cabin... The brushed titanium is much better in real than pictures..
Always nice to have a big sunroof/ moon roof.... 8 speeder provide silky smooth transmission. the sport auto with paddle shift is very fun along the B road.... Day 2.... Ordered the Vertini set.. Running on loaned 237 18 inch with CSC RFTs... is actually very nice too....
Traded in my 2 days 17 style 236... thats it for now.... Will be taking the car for tinting next week.. CK
