E90 with 19s, north of Willows, CA?

jayhudson · 07-31-2009, 03:58 PM

Do any of you e90 owners have 19s on non-modified sport suspension?

I'm considering a wheel/tire upgrade but am very concerned with noise and ride quality. I'd love a chance to ride in a car with non-RFT 19s to compare to what I have now.

I'm going down to Thunderhill for the BWMCCA Club race 8/6-8/9. A meet up on my return trip Sun would be doable. Anywhere between Willows and OR as long as it isn't too far from I-5.

Or, I'm always willing to drive as far south as Redding.

If you're willing to help please PM me.

Thanks - Jay

I was going to suggest meeting up with a fellow "yellow shirt" who is rocking 19s. But, it looks like they're sold. Talking to Steve Sherwood is much better than communicating with the average "e90 guy". gl

No, but now I get it. I have instructed for TrackMasters, NCRC and UnlimtedLaps for several years but not CCA.

Feel like coming out to the BMW Club race and HPDE on Saturday at Thunderhill? It's about 90 miles from Sac and there's no admission fee for spectators. If you have a helmet, bring it along, sign the waiver and you might be able to get a ride along with someone. If not you'll be able to see lots of your fellow bimmerheads doing what BMWs were meant to do. Last I checked there were about 27 cars entered in the race. Probably 50-100 for the HPDE.
