New member, red m sport TME

SmokedTabasco · 10-04-2016, 10:22 AM

Hey guys new member here, this is my first BMW so go easy on me!

its a 2013 2.0 m sport with x drive, I'm loving it so far and planning little mods here and there

before i get too carried away though i gotta sort one of the tyres as its got a bit of an egg on it which the mot didn't pick up on,
can anyone advise me on would you just change the one tyre or change the pair,
or... even all four...

these runflats are pretty expensive lol, the rest are in decent shape and are probably half worn

put some pics below for ya, can't decide if i want to get the black grills to get rid of the chrome and really need to do something with the single exhaust

don't think the pictures are working, what site do you guys use to upload?

I use Photobucket for posting pics. It's gotten kinda bad lately though, with so many pop-up ads.

I switched from run-flats early on, ride is much better with the Sport suspension on my 335. If the other 3 tires have the majority of their tread life left, you can probably be OK with just replacing the one tire. If not, I'd get all 4.

Edit: I've heard that some tire dealers will shave the tire down to closer match the others...

I have always been told not to add just one tire...especially on an X drive, they need to be within a certain tread depth of each other for front and back.

Wish they offered the 320 with m sport here in the states. I dont drive fast anymore and would appreciate the great mpg on the 320. All they have in the states are stripped out halogen light 320 or 320 with xenons and bare inside.
