My Ride: 2005 530i...just bought so in progress...dont know where to start???
Want to do:
LCI Tails, Xenon Headlights, Tints, Wheels, Trunk and Roof Spoiler, iPod Adapter...the list goes on.
hey guys...bad luck this week with cars...my girlfriend slid on the ice in her RX330 and destroyed the entire drivers side suspension on a curb and now i must of ran my tire with a little too low air pressure bc the inner sidewall is ridged bigtime and the cords are exposed leaking air thus making the tire complete garbage. My front tire on the drivers side is low also so I am thinking of buying two and putting the two new in the front and the two old in the rear...what tires would you guys recommend for OEM replacement?? running Continental ContiTouring Contact's right now...
I would bring the car back to BMW but its been too long since I bought the car to make it their problem....
Any recommendations would be helpful ASAP!!! I need to buy the tires SOON!!

I thought this was a great choice after reading the reviews on it with acuras and mercedes...especially at $99 bucks! only problem is they are special order so who knows when they will arrive?!?!?! but I am willing to wait or I am going to go to mavis or somewhere and see if they will price match.
im going to look into your sig right now at the rebate link..thanks

Lock in the price - you could probably cancel the order if you can convince a local retailer to honor TireRack's shipped price ($99 + S&H).
