Fair, bad wording on my part meant more like you're able to drive to fill up but not WOT or above 4k which at that point is more than reasonable.

What I did to my g87 today:
I picked it up finally!!! Took it to ppf shop to get a sample of stek dynoprism. Have it scheduled for ppf Monday, hopefully getting the litespeed wheels swapped in ASAP. I think I'm gonna wait for photos till the wheels, tint, and ppf are done. |

Obtained - car delivered to me by my dealer here in Germany. Beautiful drive back up to home in Frankfurt from south of Stuttgart. Its good to be back in the M2 family. My 17 M2 was superb. Certainly the G87 feels even better. Enjoy the photo's!
Spec overall - Toronto Red/Sport-Auto/Alcantara-Sensatec seats/ DAB tuner/Sunroof! Have a super weekend! Last edited by DSTR; 08-11-2023 at 09:24 AM.. |

I stuck with the 19 front/20 rear scenario... almost went to 20's up front but the ride quality when I had 18's on it was a huge difference from the 19's so I didn't want to make that type of sacrifice on ride quality going from 19 to 20 up front... if it were just about looks I would've done 20/21's

20x11" ET18 I'll post photos after the wheels are on... need to lower it too. The link in my signature is my car on the manufacturer's website.

827Ms are on! For some reason they wanted to do an alignment. Unfortunately, they did an alignment for a G42 because they didn't have the right equipment for a G87. Now my car feels weird and pulls left. If anyone knows alignment specs they printed me the sheet. I'd like to have an idea of how bad it is.
It's going back soon. |

Luckily he mentioned the dealer will correct it later. But now his car is out of alignment and will eat tires. This is really bad form for this dealer. My dealer refused to do an alignment until they get the right specs, they need to update their software. This is the correct way. |

If the alignment specs are not available for the G87, the G82 specs are likely to be the same, other than the wheelbase difference (which should only affect the thrust angle slightly). I would have the dealer set to those specs if they haven't got the correct specs yet. |

Regardless, I don't see why they're messing with alignment in the first place for a wheel swap. |

In the definition of the word that says that you’re doing something without thinking about it. It’s industry practice to perform an alignment every time you install new tires, as a suggestion, to ensure your brand new tires are put on properly and the car is aligned perfectly to ensure they wear well. They missed 1- it’s a new car, so alignment shouldn’t be off, 2- they didn’t have the right specs, so they shouldn’t touch it blindly. Setting a car up as another one is worse than leaving it as is. Stupid. |
