As a birthday gift to myself, I had this engraved blueprint of my F10 made to accompany the one I had of my E60 a couple of years ago.
Also, this time, I got the transmission right.

Badass ... I will hit up that company and see if they do any for the S2000 / B5.
So cool!

I'm surprised you didn't like the MPSSs.
The PS4Ss are great though.

My garage will be smelling like fresh tires soon as well. Flex is mighty close.
Now to decide on going with the Pilot Sport AS3+ or the new PS AS4...

Countdown to Morgan turning that comment into something sexual in...3...2...1.
Yikes! 235 is way too narrow for that car. The M5 runs 265s in the front and 295s in the rear.

If a marginal $ difference to the AS4, I'll likely make the jump. The Flex is on 255/45-20

But you can still have some fun with a loose rear end.

AS3+ ordered & poof, my wallet is lighter. The AS3+ have a better wet rating & were something like 250 cheaper than the AS4.

Great tires.

Both cars are over 100k miles at this point and the leather in both needed some repair work.

Yep, color me impressed. Local mobile service came out to the house and took care of both cars. The M5 also had a few little scuffs and scrapes around on the back seat, one door panel, and the center console. All in, for both, was $350.

Glad to see you enjoying both cars
