Duh! Trading Places... But here is the real question... what movie did the Duke brothers (Randolph and Mortimer) reappear in, again, with Eddie Murphy! Hahahahahahaha!!!!

"Randolph, we're back!"
I remember the scene, loved it, should have remembered but had to look it up.

I'll let others guess on it though....

Aren't those snow tires? I may be missing something here but the factory setup on the 550i sport has Continentals...

Thanks again all!
I agree the 172's look tight, but damn they are a pain to clean!
I got to get myself a good, safe wheel cleaning brush -- cleaning by hand took forever. Especially the fronts which kick-out the most brake dust.
Rick, Do your self a favor and pick up a set of Axxis Deluxe/Advanced brake pads and say good by to brake dust!!
I have them on my 550 and my Rover! Highly recommend them...and the Sprint Booster.
ModBargains has the best pricing right now on Axxis Pads.

I am running Dunlop Winter Sport M3's on 124's for my winter setup, highly recommend the M3's.

The recall was on a select run of tires not the whole line of Winter Sport M3's.


You other clowns quit hijacking my boy's thread!!
