The car has been sitting in my driveway for about 2 weeks with a flat rear. I guess my wife ran over a piece of tile or something from the neighbors construction project at their house, and she's just too busy to get it taken care of. So, tomorrow morning I will pull off the rears and bring them to get the new set of Michelin PSS installed.

Welcome Home!

Installed a new pair of Michelin PSS on the rear. Tire shop broke two duck bills and had to run out and get another one to get the rubber on the rim. Took 2.5 hours, FML...

Yea I've had that happen before... Low profile tires are a bitch

I finally made my car rub last night after installing spacers a couple weeks ago. LOL #BecauseRacecar

I dove into a super hard 90 degree right and there was a moderate bump while I was throttling it. I didn't think the stance was aggressive enough but I overcame it! LOL. It was a beautiful tail out moment. [emoji15]

Geez, sorry to hear... I had mine done in like 20 minutes, they guy unloaded and reloaded them into my X5 for me, and then he didn't charge me a single penny for the work... And I've never even seen the guy!!! Its the shop I go to all the time, but still, all new people... I was shocked...

Well, more updates from me, as I'm home now... I only ordered a few small cosmetic items for the pair while I was gone this time, but still, install time!! And of course, with the fun stuff, comes some crappy stuff... Read on...

For the X5... I ordered the color matched reflectors to replace the Euro clear ones... Installed those today, very happy... Also, I rebadged the X5 with the color matched Silverstone Metallic badges I bought from iND. Very happy with the badges, and super impressed I was able to get them on without messing up. OEM location and pretty damn close to perfect if I may say so! :biggrin Pics of X5 stuff...

For the M3... Well, I was all happy having two brand new Michelin PSS mounted on the back the other day, and I was super thrilled that the guy didn't charge me anything to install them, so as a token of gratitude, I was going to order the front two from him and also get an alignment done (I like replacing tires all at once). Well, yesterday afternoon, the car dropped into limp mode, a million lights on the dash... I scanned the codes, U1411, something about missing Gateway information...?!?! Into the dealer it went right away and turns out the EDC computer needs to be replaced... Parts and coding, about $1200... So frustrating! And on that, no front tires, not yet anyway... But, as soon as its home from the shop (tomorrow afternoon), it too will get rebadged with the color matched badges... Can't wait... :)

what exactly is an EDC cpu? I can't believe on an '11 M3, that's not covered under some type of warranty.

EDC is the Electronic Damper Control system that adjusts each shock to suit driving conditions.

That's insane, not like it's a wear and tear item. Plus it's only 4 years old. Feel bad for ya on that one big time.
