after surveying & testing alot of car...
i've shortlisted K5 & 508 Premium as the option i would choose...
ytd i took my fren 508 and i felt quite dissapointed as d wind noise is noticable when cruising @ around 130km / h...
which i think is quite bad for a conti car...
another fren of my claim that his old bmw e46 will start to hear dis sound @ around 170km / h although d car adi 10 years old...

so i would like to know is K5 having dis problem also?
which is wind noise is noticable when drving @ around 120km /h...?
btw...
ani other cons that K5 have?
thx in advance...

R you sure you can get RM50K for 2013 K5? If yes, please check carefully the condition of the car. I have just trade in my 2013 last month and the dealer took it at RM63K (Lowest I got quoted was RM59K). Basically the car is good and had never gave me any problem before. My car is still in great condition when i trade in; just few scratches which is quite normal i guess. I still love this car even till now but it will only remain in my memory.

The only concern that you might consider is the fuel consumption if you are coming from B segment to D segment. And of course the maintenance fees will be higher for you after the upgrade. Go try out the sound system, that's the best part of this car IMO.

All the best bro. Don fall under the trap in Mudah as alot of posting there is "fishing" ... they purposely list the price lower. To be honest, 2013, please expect around 65 - 70K. Anything lower, it's depend on your luck. All the best bro.
