DaveO 47 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 Very nice! Love these in black. Love the cup holders. Strangely, what pissed me off most when I was looking at M3s is the lack of cup holders Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m325i 709 Report post Posted March 27, 2014 Thanks guys. Next on the list will be: -deciding what to replace Bridgestone RE050A's with -slight lowering -retrofit seat inflation option ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CSET 583 Report post Posted March 27, 2014 If it helps, I'm running a set of Nitto Invo's, and won't look elsewhere. Strong grip wet & dry, plus the tread pattern Free plug for H&R springs too - they give good drop without sacrificing ride quality. Don't know anything about the seat bolster inflations - may be more cost effective to simply replace the seats? This way, you could look at some nice aftermarket ones (eg Recaro Sportsters - nom nom) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m325i 709 Report post Posted March 27, 2014 Thanks mate. Good info. Yeah seat thing is a bit of a pipe dream but the leather can be slippery. I have tried the e90 inflatable seats and they are awesome. Here they are in the m3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tristan 338 Report post Posted March 28, 2014 Had inflatable seat bolsters in my old E46 M3. Was done by a company in penrose. I think it was circa $500 and both seats!! From memory.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1043 Report post Posted March 28, 2014 -deciding what to replace Bridgestone RE050A's with There is only two choices really if you want to feel your cars ability properly. And really they're worth saving that extra for. Get em from tirerack,com if you want stock thats fresh. Michelin PSS2 or Pilot Super Sports. Seriously after converting to Michelin after having every other tire, I wont go back. Theyre just better than everything else in every way. PS reallllly love this car .. would have been worth the wait for no doubt. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 544 Report post Posted March 29, 2014 Great looking car. Try some re11s as replacements via tire rack . You'll hardly ever have the traction control light come on again as with ps2's and conti's. Looks like I'll get 40,000kms out of mine including a couple of track days.

m325i 709 Report post Posted March 29, 2014 Traction control comes on in 1st / 2nd easy with big tread re050a's Nice mileage on the RE11s. Only the front shoulders worn. Guessing 20+km on the current set. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m325i 709 Report post Posted March 30, 2014 ^ Works on either. I only use bluetooth not any dock functions. I'm pretty impressed. For a install noob, a total DIY install with mic & steering wheel controls for a couple hundred is great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m325i 709 Report post Posted May 17, 2014 Tried this grill today. Not sure about it yet. It's 'shadow/black chrome' but looks quite bronze. Might lower it next (just on springs).... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
