Yo you guys, we really need to get rolling on this asia forum...no one is on here!

Jason · 09-02-2005, 01:28 PM

I just created this sub-forum yesterday, so that could be the reason

We've got several members from HK, Phillipines, Malaysia, Indonesia who have posted in the past. Hopefully they'll sign in here.

Jwocky, thanks for creating it! i;m sure in the days to come , it;ll be up and running in no time.

Where is everyone from here? I just moved to Hong Kong...
Quick question, do all asian countries (except china and japan) have right hand drive? I know that in Japan, we were allowed to have both left and right hand drive vehicles.

Pinzi · 09-05-2005, 05:29 AM

I don't know other countries but, in Turkey, its left hand drive.

I am Kelvin here from HK.
Nice to see we have this for Asian.
Still waiting for my delivery in this month!!!!

I miss my 325xi · 09-05-2005, 10:09 PM

Kelvin, it's great we have an Asia Forum. Did you go to the 3 series release show at the Hong Kong Convention Center when it came out?
Since, i'm pretty new to Hong Kong, i was wondering do they have any BMW meets or something like that?

kelvinso · 09-06-2005, 02:26 AM

Yes, I went there but I only placed my order in late June.:>)

kchika · 09-06-2005, 03:41 AM

There will be an M5 public launch in HK on 9-11 Sept from 10am-7pm at the Ocean Terminal! Anyone going?

kelvinso · 09-06-2005, 04:40 AM

I might go on Sat.....

are the taxes similar for cars in hong kong and thailand?

breakfast101 · 09-09-2005, 11:23 PM

Sawasdee kub,

The tax in Thailand is really higher.......

I got my 320i for about US$ 60,100......

I wish I were born in US or Europe.....

I just got my car yesterday though............

Woody

kchika · 09-09-2005, 11:53 PM

Anyone going to the M5 launch in HK? I haven't gone yet, but I know that the car is Silverstone/Black

Motofish · 09-10-2005, 12:55 PM

Count yourself lucky Woody, we pay more than US$ 70 k for the E90 320i in Singapore - infamous for being the most expensive place on earth to own a car. Before the property, financial and internet bubbles burst, people were paying up to US$120k for entry level 3 Series.

Anyway, still a happy owner for a 7 weeks old 320i. Had some complains about rattles and wind noise but generally happy with the awesome drive. Only wish we have more roads to drive on.

Nice pics

I miss my 325xi · 09-14-2005, 01:22 AM

i actually saw a black M5 in front of my apt yesterday!

EddyPKHon · 10-04-2005, 06:27 AM

Great got guys in this part of the world that to chat..waiting for mine 325i Monaco with Grey interior for past 4 months - got some governmental hiccups. Cost just as high here USD72K for 320i and USD84,800 for 325i - very hefty duties imposed by our government..

What do you guys think of clear rear lights rather than all red? Seems cool if it is partially white all across and not just than small triangle-like thing with the red at the bottom only.

n21k · 10-04-2005, 07:55 AM

Hi, I'm from Singapore and got my 325i end of July. Paid almost USD103k for it with Xenon, Sports Seat, Titanium Matt Trim, etc...

Still looking for upgrading of Springs(or Coilover), Air Intake, Brakes, etc...

Hi Motofish, nice to see fellow S'porean here. Anyone else???
