no rubbing at all, it’s the oem tire size for fronts 255/40/18. i love the meaty look, but keeping the OEM overall diameter was important to me so these are the tire sizes that had to be used.

they do poke out ever so slightly, but not super noticeable. most importantly it’s only on stock xdrive height, even with the slightest drop and the camber it adds, they will sit flush. i’m waiting until i leave NY, before i touch my suspension. the poke never bothered me personally.

I've never seen manual seats in an F-series before...

Loads of F3x cars have manual seats!

Standard uk fit in most F series M Sport. Only the bolster is electrically controlled.
Although Fully electric in my F83 as standard trim. As with most F8* though.

Full electric seats was one of the few extras I never added when new.
Most available extras added
M performance factory kit and 405M 20” also added by BMW when new.

Us Germans seem to very keen on electrical seat. So it's very rare to see the manual version

TriniGT · 01-21-2024, 04:29 PM

Yup seems like most of the UK spec units equipped with manual seats. I will be retrofitting electric seats to my F20 once completed.

Enjoy the -40 C. Greetings from sunny California!

Definitely the minority here, but here's one of a 10 second stock turbo N55 with 141k+ on the odometer launching at the track.

The excessive negative rear camber is because the picture was taken right as I was launching.

Yes, I know the PDC sensors, emblem on bumper, and headlamp washer covers need to be installed. The windshield needs to be replaced as well, but that wasn't high on my priority list as I use to daily the car heavily even though I have a more practical car (Accord) to use as an everyday car. I just enjoyed driving this more.

Snapped a few photos prior to listing the car for sale…sad day but all good things must come to an end!

goodbye salt (for now)

sethredwine · 02-02-2024, 03:34 PM

Picked up my very first BMW with 4 wheels last night. It wasn’t ready in time to get some pics in the light, but as soon as the weather clears up I’ll be snagging some nicer ones.
