I thort that you got the extended warranty
or is the tyres not covered
my bf goodrich are about 2000 each for 19"
Tires is never cover under warranty in any country.

Unless you have got those defective Dunlops like what they got in the US. In that case it will be cover by Dunlop, not BMW.

Yes, Master. You really should "Delay No More"!!!
I paid $2000 each for the 19", and Shield just got his 17" PS2 for around $1800. I think the Goodyear are pretty much the same price as the Michlien.
The price is ok for the PS2 wor, how much is it for the 18". I think I will need tire soon, but I am still waiting until it's worn down more, as I find the tires is regaining its grip when it's almost worn out (strange) maybe wait till the tires are two years old before changing it.

After been in your car, I think the non RF are definitely worth the change.

go for Dunlop Sportmaxx (sun hing quoted 1150, is that right mic), RE050 , PS2 also good. Goodyear RS-02 is a good buy too.
I just got the PS2 on, feel so good now. It is like a different car.
Is Bridgestone's RE050 available in non RF for the 18"? Or should I try something else. I now have RE050 RF on mine.

hi all

i am installing my mtech front and m5 rear bumper and the body shop told me the original parking sensors wont fit. have any of u experience that? and how much is that 8 sensors?
check first to see if the M5 PDC sensor have the same part number as the non M5 cars. If they are different then you need to get new ones and they did not try to screw you.

That's totally wrong. I used all my original PDC sensors. Any pics of your ride?

Hm. Something came to my mind. When we compared the PDC sensors from the M-kit and the Non M-kit, they looked a little bit different. On the M-Kitted car, the sensors has a extra ring on the sensor itself, probably there is some kind of adapter that comes with the M-kit. Let me dig up the M-Kit installation guide and get back to you later.
Yeah there an extra ring for the PDC sensor for the M kit in regular E60. Maybe the hole is bigger, racing version you know

looks like they traying to con U Fu*king killl them.
No they are not, don't scare the guy.

As I stated in the above post, check the part number for the M5 PDC sensor vs regular PDC sensor since your kit is a real M5 ones. If they are different then you have to get new sensors. But the old one is a good idea to keep around.

Lalu is installing the real M5 rear, not M Tech rear like us. But I never heard anyone have problems installing the PCD sensors. Better ask other forum member with the real M5 rear for more info! Hope it can be fix soon!
I think you can ask ar Dee too, since I heard that he have done a M5 kit for a regular E60 right?

I saw a E60 with an M kit and ACS type V rim yesterday. Doesn't goes with it I think, type IV is better.
