i was probably on the inside to pass at this point. the fiat is tiny, so forced perspective makes it look like i was right behind him from this angle

Got the car washed and ready for the Saturday SoCal meet

...sat in it at the dealers and ordered it! UK Pre-Reg car snapped up, most options except power seats. Maybe 1 week from collection!

They look wider, a bit less stretch?

Quite Simply wrapped it for the summer.

Should be the same (same specs). These seem to fit properly. Went for 2.5 bar all around.

Penultimate picture is the PS4S when still 'hanging' above the ground. Last picture is the rear PSS (also hanging above the ground) right before it was taken off.

And I did not encounter the puzzling "whomp-whomp" sound encountered by forum fellow Natek (see/hear here), who has fitted 255/35 R19 + 275/35 R19 instead of 245/35 R19 + 265/35 R19 (M2 stock size). Mine's got the M2 stock size specs.

The stock wheels are not the same width as non star marked in the same size, so that is why I asked. Saw some other people change too and they looked a bit wider than the PSS from factory. But could just be an illusion due to the new design of the side of the tire.

I believe your MPE tips are a bit loose.

So now going forward I will keep one hand on the trigger and the other on the bottle in case it's not attached properly or my hand releases the quick release for some reason. Super annoyed right now.

Here I am trying to wash my car right worried about making a scratch and I drop something on the car.

Paintless dent repair from dent artist in California Bay area. Thank God.

it's amazing what those pdr guys are able to do. On my previous car which suffered a pretty significant ding on the door, the repair guy was able to get it out without a trace

lax01 · 07-15-2017, 07:09 PM

I can't even see it...I'm anal and I'd be very happy with the result

David1 · 07-16-2017, 09:29 AM

Showed the car yesterday.
Best of class for BMW.

Dav3 · 07-16-2017, 10:24 AM

Installed BMS Bump Stop with 2/3 washers this morning

Day and Night difference... Feels like the car had a missing part all along

Shifting is much quicker and much more enjoyable now
