Hi. have recently aquired a 523i M Sport(yeh, I know, the base model!) in Titanium silver, 6 sp manual, 05 model, 35k mls and have ditched the runflats and 18"s for 172 19"s and Conti 2s.
we have a Cooper S and the tyres drive me mad . I'm completely untechnical but am a serial meddler and I'm already planning carbon bits and bobs , so hopefully if I ask some dumb questions
you people will humour me, and I might one day be able to work out how to put some pictures on here!
