Hello all. I am loving the forums you have here, this is quite a community. Figured I should post some pics of the new car:









Bought this car as a CPO from a dealer, 2007 32,500 miles.

Only minor modifications so far, OEM BMW all-season floor mats, new Conti DWS all-seasons (123 are my winter wheels, car came with new Summer Dunlop run flats, for sale in classifieds!), 20% tint all around, and Euro stickers for front headlight amber removal to be installed this week (Thanks Phi!).

Good performance. I actually just pushed them a bit today, and they held up well in the corners. They are not as sticky as the Dunlop OEMs, or probably any other summer tires, but that is to be expected. At the price point however, they are awesome. I paid $600 mounted/road force balanced total.

Your ride looks clean. Any plans on M Tech kit, fly wheels or anything else?
