Hallo~ I havent been able 2 update my blog lately coz i was in kl for the last 2 weeks. Went there initially 2 send my lil sis to her hostel coz her sem is already starting, n then i spent a week wif my frens coz was bored doing nothing in jb. Then i’ve 2 change my plan and extended my visit for another week coz i need 2 report for duty to Petronas & undergo my interview. I was ready to go back to jb last saturday (19th Jan) but then my bro asked me 4 a favor, which i had 2 stay in kl again for a couple of days. Now this is the fun part. He asked me to drive his new car back to jb, and its a beemer!

It was a hell of a wait when the car was sent for jpj & puspakom inspection, but after that i had the most pleasurable driving experience in my life! it was an e39 (2001) 530i. Obviously the 5 shows that its a 5-series, and the 30 at the back means that its a 3.0L. First time driving a 3 liter engine, and omg the torque was AWESOME! the car was a UK M-Sport Edition model, so it has some extras of what other 5-series here in Malaysia dont have. First, the engine itself. Its hard to find other e39 530 in M’sia, and most we can see on the streets are 523 and 525. Next is the sunroof (my bro said only import models have these). And then we have the factory lowered suspension, and also the sports seat (it has an extra feature compared to normal seats wic is hard for me to explain).

After driving it last nite, i cancelled my plan to buy an EK or an s15. I know what i want in the next 3 to 5 years, a beemer! It has electronic-adjusted seats, steering, and side mirrors (with memory)! Also, really² cool headunit! I say this becoz as i travel from kl to jb, i dun have to change the radio frequency to keep listening to a particular station..it changes itself!! Otherwise i had to change the frequency 2
times. Then we have the comfort..driving the car even at 140kmh wif the windows shut was damn silent, and feels safe! Finally, and most importantly, is BMW’s signature eagle eyes! Eventhough other cars have aftermarket eagle eyes, but they dont look as good as the beemers’.

Okay wina, we’ll c who will drive a 3-series first I’m aiming for a 325i e46, so lets work hard and get our dream cars!

 

 

 

p/s-initially i’ve sumthing else 2 write abt (my prospects and plans for this new year), but i’m still excited over last nite’s drive, so i’ll write and post them up next time.hehe
