Pilot Sport 4 don't come in RFT?

@E30 325i Rag-Top In the end I settled on the F1 A2's because there was a significant jump to most of the others, non RFT's aren't an option and reviews and recommendations seem to indicate they were reasonable good. Hopefully better on the coarse chip than the potenzas (Which I do really rate for grip and feel usually). I am hoping I don't end up hating them, but I am really only less than a year out from replacing the 335D with a M340i xDrive or C43 AMG Estate.

As far as I can tell, PS4S aren't available in NZ as run flats? Beurepaires is trying to sell me PS3Z? From the research I have done, pretty much the world over the F1 A2's and A3's rate highly. Can't get RFT in A3's apparently. A2's are also the cheapest, which isn't a priority, but a nice bonus. Thanks for the recommendations.

For the above car, I am running factory supplied tyres. Bridgestone Potenzas Runflats. I am looking for replacements. Priority is grip (These have been excellent), then Noise. These ones are crazy noisy, sometimes inside the cabin on rough roads, it's nearly impossible to hear. Thanks very much

Well it's a little hard not to paint it like this, when this is simply the case (I am trying to get an idea of ballpark so I can work out what upgrade cost may be). When I get home tonight I'll put together a proper listing. Thanks for the information.

Err it says I have done 35,000 KM's

Well, to be fair I wasn't trying to sell it actively, I was trying to gauge interest, of which it seems there is little. The lack of a photo wouldn't stop a genuinely interested party from expressing interest I wouldn't have thought, however, it's certainly possible to put one up. Is there a reason you are suggesting it's priced too high?

May I ask what you are basing that on ?

Wow not a single reply? Bump!

Hi There! I am looking at upgrading my 2011 Touring 335i. Wanting 65K for it, and looking to offload it perhaps End of January. Can be a little flexible on timing. It is an M-Sport and runs 18" Michellin ZP RFT's. It's Silver. Done 35000KM's Was originally imported from the UK. No issues I am aware of other than the coin holder is broken. I'll post a picture a little later.

So what is the downside to the LSD then? Loss of performance? I am not sure my auto mechanical insurance would allow me to modify the car like this, also unsure if it's worth while considering I'll likely replace the car within the next 12 months.

Whats a LSD cost anyone know? Or know a part code? I went with Simms in Newmarket, booked for Monday.

Anyone used Mt Eden Tyres, they are highly rated on Google and it's really close to me. (Though so is Andrew Sims in Newmarket)

Hi There! I have a 2011 335i Touring which I am enjoying except for it's lack of Grip. I was thinking it was about time I got an alignment, balance and possibly a rotation. Can I take this car anywhere (I am in Auckland Central) or should I be looking for a specific place? Do runflats require the same rotations etc that other tyres do ? Also I had heard that it's possible that there are newer and better RFT's than the ones I have and that these are contributing to me constantly seeing my traction control lights lighting up. Lastly In about 6 months I'll be looking to move this vehicle along and upgrade to something else, most likely the Audi S4 or an XDrive 335D since the 335i isn't offered as a touring here. My car is pristine and has about 25,000KM's on it, I am wondering it's value approximately?

Thanks for all the good feedback from everyone. The reality is, there is just no way I could justify $1500-2000 on a towbar, we would simply not do it, for us it's a convenience thing, not a necessity and will only ever see occasional use. I am worried about the electrical side of things, and will check with the people making the offer. Anyone have a picture of the genuine one, and perhaps a picture of a bestbars one to compare?

Hi There! I am considering putting a towbar on my 335i, and I got offered a third party one through First Class Automotive for $500. Official BMW Dealers indicate costs of $1500-2000. Is it a bad idea to get it done through a third party?
