The tire is practically brand new. I don't even have 1,000 miles on it yet

Best $500 bucks I have ever spent.

DevJ · 09-03-2009, 05:29 PM

So my nail in the tire...I already have lost air so I have questions for y'all.

Is it safe for me to drive ~70 miles to get that shit replaced or should I just patch it up at a local shop and call it a day?

Nawaaz · 09-03-2009, 05:32 PM

I have no idea, but whatever you do.....Just play it safe, and don't take a risk.

That's what I'm thinking now..it's hard to decide since this tire is f'ing brand new and I really don't want it to get fixed...and I really don't wanna drive down there with a faulty tire. Btw, I think things are still on for me getting my ssk installed Saturday if you wanna check it out

Blake · 09-03-2009, 06:33 PM

if you do not have a nail near your sidewall yet, perhaps drive thru one of those magical "oops, look, i have a nail near my sidewall" construction zones.

At Moritz BMW? What time this Saturday?

I may not make it, but I'll keep the info handy just in case I get a lucky opportunity....

Hey guys,

I saw a good looking E92 in uptown in a parking garage a while back and it just dawned on me that this might be a good place to find out who it is. I only caught a glimpse but it was black with black rims. Im pretty sure a tint but maybe not. It was in the new apartments across from the mexican restaurant matitos at cole and cedar springs. Just thought I'd take a shot and see if the owner was on here. Its always nice to see something like that. If I find a buyer for my E46 I hope I can join the E92 guys.

TLud · 09-04-2009, 12:25 AM

It's only Thursday night, and I've already billed 80 hours this week. I'm not even sure how that's possible. I hate my life right now.

At least you get to enjoy driving that M3 of yours whenever you're not working.

Whoa! And I thought I worked a lot when I'm doing 50-55 hrs a week

Well, I'm extremely thankful that I'm no longer a car salesman since that easily racked up 80 hrs a week, every week!

(I only lasted 4 full days at that job

True, but it's hard to appreciate when I work 3 times more hours in a day than the number of miles I get to drive the M3 in a day.

it was probably me. that's my stomping grounds and as far as i know, i'm the only black m3 with black wheels around that area.

does this ring a bell?

BMW_TT · 09-04-2009, 10:45 AM

Ya that would be it. I thought it might be you but your location says San Antonio. Seeing that made my day. I went home and posted my car for sale. Ha.

M3FTW · 09-04-2009, 10:51 AM

Here's a quick question for you guys: The tint on my rear window is a little sketchy at the top and around the edges, has anyone had their's totally lay flat and black over the black gradient on the stock glass?

Hope that makes sense.

it's doable, but it's hard. my tint still doesn't lay flat on the dot matrix.

Mine doesn't look bad, but it's not perfect either. From what I've heard, the best bet for the dot matrix is a vinyl overlay.
