Too many clueless people owning M3s. What a shame, somebody should take the keyfob away from him quick.

OEM winter wheels are all the same size and can be rotated I assume so might make it difficult to have a solution that allows both set ups

my father did this in his 750 once. took the wheels off to give them a good cleaning and just spaced out on putting them back correctly. dont get me wrong, unacceptable.

I'm totally speechless.

BTW the freeway looks like CA 60.

WangTa · 03-16-2011, 12:15 PM

This is probably a retarded question, but can you damage the car by doing that? I can't imagine it's good to have the wrong tires on the car?

Lodaka · 03-16-2011, 12:32 PM

Highly unlikely, but maybe he's doing that to "convince" his wife that he needs a new tire set up... "Honey, see how terrible the ride is? It's all because of the tires and the rims, and we need to change. I've been looking at ...". Probably not.

ahahah that's horrible

. The best end to this thread would be somebody here (working for the CA DMV?) mailing a letter to the owner advising him of the error, with the pic on the link, AND the url of this thread

. I bet that owner doesn't even know there's a V8 under the hood

e90m3_6MT · 03-16-2011, 08:37 PM

if he did or let someone do that to his car he's probably not on the forum with us.

cdne90m3 · 03-16-2011, 08:48 PM

Hahaha to funny

Poppin Fresh · 03-16-2011, 08:50 PM

The first time my mom saw my car she asked me how I would rotate the tires since the rears were wider than the fronts. EVEN MY MOTHER KNOWS THE CONCEPT OF ROTATING TIRES!!! HAHAHAHAAA!!!

That's probably him!!!
He just got a new ride.

I must say the front does look flush with the fenders though.
Either way, Dude needs a drop.
