OSRAM CBI 5500K. I took the pic few seconds after they turned on so the color could match the car before they warmed up. [emoji23]

Smells like you are being lied to. I would interrogate them and ask them for a legitimate reason why they won't align your car if its suspension is stock.

I've had this problem before, the usual response is "we have to have special weights in the driver's seat". I just think they are scared of a "BMW" honestly.

I'm running 235/40-18 at all four corners. These are pretty wide 235s, I think. nothing decent comes in 245 (absolutely no extreme performance summer) and 255 has too much shoulder to fit in the front with et35 and no camber plates, I believe. I could get Pilot Super Sport in 245/35, but I really wanted something grippy so I stayed away from those.

I moved the ZHP from the garage to the driveway, it's ready to take over DD duties starting tomorrow.

Brother saw this today at work, deemed it the "Sad ZHP" due to the large rust spots, sun cracked dash and console, and overall dissatisfying condition of the poor baby. Wish he took more pictures but you can see rust over the back left fenders, as well as by the trunk https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...62b00e5c4a.jpg

Cracked dash? You have my interest, because our dashes don't crack due to the material they're made from. Can he get any pics?
