M5 back from front end and hood repaint, big service with new spark plugs, oil, brake pads and some other items.

Now it has to sleep until April. The xd is taking over the winter work

Nice winter car! Where in Sweden are you? Here (Malm?) is no need for winter tires yet, still almost 10?C. I changed last week, my summer tires were worn out.

Are you happy with your 3-series? My next touring might be a 335d since I'm moving to a appartment, it fits better in the narrow garage.

PS2?s are much better IMO. Better allround tyre. Lasts much longer than the Contis. More stable at high speed.
Maybe the Contis have slightly better grip?

I?m in Gothenbourg. No snow here either and +6 deg ? and rain today. No use for the winter tyres here actually, but for the 330 I don?t have any summer tyres.

The E91 is a very very nice car and I really really like it. Especially the diesel engine with the low end grunt, and ofcourse the x-drive. But it?s not as refined and comfortable as the E60 - but on the other hand more sporty ( not compared to some special 507hp E60, that is! ) and nimble. I do miss the HUD and some other features, as for example comfort opening / closing of the trunk.
