My Ride: 2006 BMW 330ci cab - Jet Black - Black Leather - Premium Pkg - Sport Pkg - Auto - Heated Seats - Navigation - Xenon - Premium Sound - iPod - Bluetooth
Today I had my new OEM 166 wheels mounted on new tires (bought locally because these guys do me a ton of favors). Dropped her off early morning. A couple hours later they called and said there was a small nick in one of the wheels & they didn't want to proceed until I took a look. I go back to the tire shop thinking oh man, how much is this going to cost me to ship this wheel back to Garry at BMW of Newport, not to mention the hassle. I get there and three guys eagerly show me the wheel. A minor nick at that. If they wouldn't have called me I would have never know. Nice to have a tire place that cares so much about their customers.
A few hours later I go back to pick the car up. A customer with a very old Triumph TR7 is there, just got his car out of storage. I am excited to see this 70s something car, and he said he has been admiring my new shoes on my 550i. The mechanics are loading up my old wheels & tires, well not that old, only 13,000 miles on them, and are drooling all over the car. Just joking, but one of them says oh can I please have your car for the night, I could pick up lots of chicks. It's V-Day. The other one says, after we installed the new wheels & tires we all just stood there and looked at the car for 30 minutes.
What a great day to own a BMW

.........I know I'm a broken record on this subject , but now you need to get dustless brake pads.I can wash all 4 corners in 10 minutes and they stay spotless.
