Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. now that its stopped raining around here for 5 days straight i can get her washed and waxed to take some photos for you guys.
I actually live just north of tampa, in the lutz/land o lakes area.

I got the car from Hillsboro Auto Mart on Florida Ave and 131st ave, its near fletcher. It was a single owner before and BMW supposedly wouldnt CPO it because it was over 5years old or something like that.

There has been no rubbing of the tires so far, but i was going to ask what tire choices i had, because finding 255/30 and 295/25's might be tough.

Any recommendations on places to go for such odd tires? everyone i call says its a custom order.
