I am very anal when it comes to curbs. I NEVER get anywhere near them!
I scuffed a 17" Style 32 wheel on my E39, and I was furious with myself for weeks! I will never do that again, and thankfully, my wife is also as careful as me.
I had Dunlops and Michelin Primacys on the E39 and I want to try something else this time.
And you are right, the cost of tires is crazy!

They are basically brand new in the box!
I have finally chosen a tire: CONTINENTAL SPORT CONTACT 3 - 245-35-19 ZR
1200 Euros, installed.
Anyone have any comments?

Great choice!
///Marco.it took extremely good care of them when he had them on his E61. I am lucky!
BTW, I was in Stockholm, Kalmar and V?xj? last weekend - more E22 and E4 driving. No tickets, but I saw some wild driving! A black Ferrari 430 Scuderia blew past me near the Nyk?pingsbron going at least 200km/h being followed by a M5 and a SAAB... I wonder if it was your King out for a joy ride?!

Crappy lighting, but I will take some better pics when the car is clean!

Waiting to see more pictures of your ride after the week end washing session.

It looks great. Unfortunately you have already installed the M5 mirrors as in short I will have a pair of M5 mirrors MY2009 that I will most probably not install on the cur thus sell them.
Waiting to see more pictures of your ride after the week end washing session.

I am sure that someone here will buy those huge M5 mirrors!
I will get the E61 washed tomorrow - have to test out the new K?rcher first today and clean the driveway!
