Zyklon 5th Gear October 27, 2012 Share October 27, 2012 (edited) AFAIK, cannot remap yet. Can install tuning box though. Can easily get 190+hp. Brutally honest, if you need to worry about fc, a bmw is really not for you. No, bmw is much cheaper to maintain than many think, but if you have to worry about whether 1L can do 7km or 12km, then you might want to rethink about buying a car at this price. Typical issues are standard bmw problems loh, rattle, wind noise, jerky gearbox etc...then again, sometime is heng suay. I mean even lexus also can have problem with loose seat mounting making noise... You should be able to get some discount from list price. Depends on stock availability, what they trying to clear and whether SE need to meet sale quota or not. PM me if you need a good SE. Some pml se are quite bad after you pay up... BTW, Ithunk, AH5 is way less than 400k. 400k can buy 550i liao. Deposit on the price list is not accurate. My SE only asked for 10k for coe transfer. Downpayment was paid much later.

Adrianlim13 2nd Gear October 27, 2012 Share October 27, 2012 no power,engine note sucks, rough, cramp. verdict - crap. Shortest test drive ever. I can't wait to get out of the car. out from pml , U turn, I u turn back liao cos I cannot take it. If it not becos of the badge , I think the car will not sell at all (at this price) Wait for the A class. if not , C also can . ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
