Nice! Whatcha get????

Stoptech ST60 in black! Black, so the OEM rears aren't so out of place

I drove it

Filled up w/ fresh OEM windshield washer fluid after getting "low fluid" alert

I paid a nice man $2000 to give it back to me with all the oil leaks fixed.

Terry

Finally gave it a quick wash

GOT dammit I love that color. Excellent choice with brakes as well.

I got a verbal warning after doing 85. I did get a fix-it ticket for front tints.

Two new rear tires. Have to keep wifey and the kid safe. Thank you to the guys at AK tires in clearwater Fl.

Installed a misterchaft gt2 with the shield on my e90. Loving the sound and the stealth look of the shield.

What type, how much, and how long did you have to wait?

Rears, Bridgestone Potenzas 265/35/19. $245 per tire installed. No wait, made an appointment, tires were sitting there waiting for me. Fronts have a ton of tread, rears were near dead when I bought the car a few weeks ago. Tire rack has them for $230 each. Then you have to have them delivered to you and pay for install. So I got a good price.

Tire rack usually has an installer in your area, sometimes install will be in included as part of the purchase price. Disposal is usually still on you

Did not know that. Had been told it was delivery only. I am good with my tire guy but that is good info for those who don't have someone.

I just started using it recently because I didn't trust any of the trusted shops, lol

Just had four 4S's mounted and balanced (sourced from Tire Rack who had the lowest price) and my wheels powder coated dark bronze. I was worried I would not be happy with the color but I think it looks great. Will post pics after I can wash the car this weekend.

I have 359 ZCP rims. I am E92 with competition package. The fronts were already pretty new. Former owner did not change out the rears. So I wanted to make sure all the tires matched. I'll consider super sports when the time comes to replace all four. I did try them out today and they hook up nicely under 3/4 throttle.

Cliverman:

Too soon to tell. Driven it from tire shop home, to wheel shop and home with no agggresive driving at all too much traffic.

My PSS were pretty worn so that can explain why it is quieter and far smoother over bumps.

My wheels are powder coated with a clear coat on top. The clear coat has bubbled up. Some of the powder coating below the clear coat has chipped also.
How much typically to redo the powder coat per wheel? Is it practical to strip down the coating and bring the 359's back to life? I kinda like the chrome look.
