At 131K I wonder how the COSTS (he is an accounting right?) compare to leasing 36mo,. I am not allergic to regular repairs costs, but my "well taken care E90" was not a piece of cake to maintain on the road (up to only 85K, crazy experience). Despite that, my car did cost about 20% less than leasing but the hassles.... ouch.
BTW, the F32/F33 are nowhere as good looker as the E92/E93 were.

What part of "you are not welcome in this thread" did you not understand the first two times? How I manage the costs of ownership on this car (which really haven't been bad, by the way), and my money in general are none of your damn business. Again - YOU ARE NOT WELCOME TO POST ANYTHING IN THIS THREAD WHATSOEVER.
Just delete it if it hurts you so much.

Nothing worse than an idiot who needs to have the last word.

Tim is salty that he does not own a brown old audi a3.
That is the real problem here.
Tim, you thinking about doing any of those diy leather repairs? Contemplating doing it to my gf's vw van seat...it's pretty beat up.

I am thinking about it. I've done a little research, but need to do more before I decided what I might try.

Uhhh, Yummy, I'm not sure what you think I was saying I would research, but I was referring to leather repair solutions; not new cars.
And, as to MB, I considered them when I was first looking at my M5. I think I've decided they're just a little too ostentatious for my preferences.

BMW Performance 19", Style 269. I've wanted these wheels for five years, but they were always so expensive; $3,000 just for the wheels (no tires, no caps, no TPMS). I found this set, brand new, with brand new tires, with center caps, with TPMS, mounted and balanced and free shipping; $800 cheaper than just the wheels going back the whole time I've been watching them. Couldn't pass this up.

which size did you get? i believe 269 comes with 2 different sizes for the 19" (5 series/3 series). Are they forged?

Not my car, but close enough to get an idea of how they'll look:

I'm currently running 10MM on the back and nothing on the front. Probably keep it that way since the offset and widths are identical to my 18s.

There is something about having something nice but not using it that is very appealing to me.... Maybe that is the 
in me.

Good looking wheels but not sure they are real. I don't see butter, bacon, and waffles in the picture.
