Re: How is GoodYear Run Flat Tyre on F10? In my opinion, RFT are terrible. They are hard, noisy and uncomfortable. I changed to normal tyres and the entire cabin is so much quieter with ride more comfortable. While I would like to have a spare tyre, in close to 30 years driving experience, I...

Re: 5 yr old beemer Probably approx $1k but if it doesn't solve your problem, then you've no choice but to change the steering wheel column. In any case, it should last for another 4-5 years unless you have ass luck. Having said that, I do not recall any of the Jap cars I owned having this...

Re: 5 yr old beemer Yes, usually it's the sensor which you can fix quite easily. I think the bill size for replacing the steering was about $4k. Somebody in the forum said that replacement of gear box was even more....can't quite remember how much...was it $15K? I did look up various other...

Re: 5 yr old beemer Just to share my experience, I bought a '04 525 which was abt 3 yrs old with approx 30k on the clock 2 years ago. After I changed the tyres, it felt like new and with the inline 6 purring, I crowed with satisfaction as I bought it at nearly half the price of a new car...

Re: Breyton Rims - Spacer My understanding now is that Breyton manufactures their wheels to fit the 3 series. All other series will need a spacer. It's a smart way to reduce cost and without having to manufacturer different wheels for different car series.

Re: This Sunday, 23rd August, Trap/Skeet Shooting. Rifle Range Road Shawn, As spoken, the gun range at Rifle Range Rd has moved to Choa Chu Kang; but you have more options there to shoot trap, skeet, sporting & Down-the-Line. Also have facilities for rifle and hand guns for those who feel...

Re: "P" = Park; Why need handbrake? actually I dun use the hand brake unless I am parking on a slope; in which case it is absolutely necessary. On a flat and level surface, I simply put my car to "P" - dun think there are any cows around to prod my car and damage the gears lock. Have been...

Re: FC on 5 series I agree. Mine is 04-525 and average mileage is approx 8.5km per litre. I don't see how it can be substantially improved. Over CNY, I drove to Ipoh at approx 140-150 km/h - consumption was 11.5km per litre. By the time I reached there, computer showed that I could drive...

Re: Trap Shoot 2 sorry - you are correct. Should be 20 Dec @ 1030 hrs. Minimum age.....hmmmm.....not really for adults. If you are thinking of teenagers, I reckon a good size 12 year old can also do it. There is a 12-year old who comes to the range to shoot regularly. Ladies also welcome.

Re: New BMW 323 vs 2009 Lexus IS250 My wife just bought the 2009 IS250 and sometimes I drive it on weekends as her "ahmad". It is a quiet & smooth car and I do not detect any cracking noise when driving it. As it is a new car, I note that I have to step harder for the revs to rise but...

We had a very successful event last Sat and am sure all bros who were there enjoyed the session very much. As I will be there again this Sat (20 Jan), I am wondering if anyone is keen to join me. All newbies welcome...even if you have never held a gun in your life.:)

Re: Trap Shooting hi guys - glad you all enjoyed the session....and for sure your cheek and arm might be sore for a couple of days....but hey....this is better fun than shooting with the M16 at the army range. No worries as the pain should be over by Wed anyway. By the 2nd or 3rd session...

Re: Trap Shooting Dear All - the response has been better than expected and I will now have to close the list. Based on the above, participants are likely to be organized into 2 groups. Kindly arrive at 10.30am for registration & briefing. Shoot would commence at about 11am and should be...

Re: Trap Shooting Turbo - the gun is quite loud and if you bring your 3-year old, he/she MUST be supervised by another adult and MUST stay at the rest area which is outside the shooting area. There are sofas and tables but it is not an enclosed space. While there is some distance between...

Re: Trap Shooting More than 10 still okay - will have to separate into 2 or 3 groups depending on the number of folks who turn up. I will also be there so you folks can look out for me.

Re: Trap Shooting sure no problem.

Re: Trap Shooting They have ear muffs but if you like to bring your own ear plugs, you can do so. Caps & sunglasses not needed actually.. A towel or change of T-shirt might be a good idea though. You can also buy drinks there 100 plus for $1 and mineral water for $0.50.
