If any Ohioans would like to discuss the unique joys/concerns/highlights/lowlights/triumphs/defeats of driving an E60 in the Buckeye State, I invite you to use this thread.

After all, why should the Singaporians be the only ones to have there own topic?

excellent choice -- xi -- given driving conditions in NE Ohio. Also like that you got 6speed. Bet that was hard to find. Have you thought about putting snow tires on it?

got all season 17's - so will start with those and see how they are.

I had to order the car - dealers up here do not stock 6 speed e60's.

What about you - car, color options?

You are just jealous because they have over 4,000 posts in their thread and you know this one will die in less than 20.

[/quote] "Moronic " is not polite or respectful--no matter what one thinks of another's post. I, for one would prefer that we not refer to each other, in effect, as morons, etc. I'll help you get to 20 posts though. Does it count if I am not an Ohioan?
