Are you thinking of the WS60? That's definately a snow and ice tire, not a performance winter. The LM-60 claims "performance winter", but I'd still like to know how they might compare to other options. I don't think the WS-60 even comes in 245/40-18. I ran Dunlop winters on my e46 with great success, so I was wondering about them too, but they're more $$$ than the blizzak.

Either way, def have to take it a little easy on them with the M3. Heavy snow duty will be handled by the Titan and X5. I will say that I was impressed how long my LM-22's lasted on the e90, especially considering I left them on my car all summer this year

They're RFT's, so they were good for lease turn-in

TurboFan · 09-18-2010, 01:06 AM

Quick thought - anyone interested in genuine euro-spec headlights for an e90? As in factory-clear reflectors? Where I'm staying in Africa, there's a BMW dealer not too far away. I'd be willing to pick up a set for anyone interested and bring them home Oct 1. The stock parts here look like they're all euro-spec. Let me know what you'd be willing to pay and I'll check them out.

Get toyo proxies, I love em, I have ran them on every car I've owned.

that would be sweet...but I'm sure they'll wind up being $1k+ USD

TurboFan · 09-18-2010, 09:25 AM

Doubt it. I'll check. Cost is close to parity with the US.

Is Africa left or right hand drive? I ask due to the cutoff line being different.

///M car sales person of the month so far! X5M, and an M6 convertible so far. Hopefully another X5M before the end of the month.

Anybody want a Melbourne red M3 coupe/sedan? Or Jet Black sedan? Or Space Gray Sedan? We have them available to all of you

Congratulations, Parker!

Park2670 · 09-18-2010, 09:41 PM

If only my two ordered M3s came in this month. That would be perfect.

Park2670 · 09-18-2010, 10:46 PM

Still have a few more months until I can order, but I figured picking colors would be fun. These are my possibilities.

Yes Scott, I am still undecided

If I pick oyster, the aluminum will be wrapped in the 3M carbon fiber vinyl.

Good morning!

Park2670 · 09-19-2010, 10:09 AM

We have the white/black 335is, and a Lemans/Oyster 335is. Should make for a difficult decision

Or you could order Space Gray...
