It's good that you know the limit, many drivers don't, which is why they get into crashes, sometimes fatal ones, like that red corolla on lung cheung road.
I think it's great that you are educating your kid. It's best to train him young and he'll be an expert when he grows up.

RS5 certainly looks great and much faster, but i really can justify to pay an extra 700k for a car that has the same engine (internals are different..but still) and similar looks :S S5 looks good enough for me i thought it would use a v8 twin turbo or something =[

....You are damn right about it!! I'm too old to be nerd without realizing the limit I can be reaching, Bro!! It is a shame that, one keep modding their turbo cars but haven't no clue of how the turbo works or even cannot tell the diff btw Turbo and Compressor engines......

Absolutely..totally agree the appearance of S5 is way more eye catching than our E9X even in some way better than E9X M3!! However, the downsize is V8 engine's re-sell value is not so friendly after a long while of usage and hence, you should consider an interim vehicle prior next 3 officially launched..just a piece of mine!!

I totally agree, the R/S/A5 is a gorgeous looking car. It's designer, Walter'd Silva, said it was his most beautiful design. You can see the A5's design influence on the rest of Audi's line-up. Still, performance-wise, it cannot beat BMW, the M3 and the 3 series still reign supreme in that area.

Haha, difference between turbo and compressor? I am betting the vast majority of bimmer drivers in HK don't know the difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger. I bet they don't even know if they have a turbo in their car or whether it is naturally-aspirated, haha. Heck, I am betting many don't even know (or care to know) their cars are RWD!

Of course, I am no expert myself, I am still relatively new to bmws, so have to seek all your advice often. Still, I am learning alot day by day, even a newbie like me I think knows more about a bimmer then the majority of bmw drivers in Hong Kong, haha!
