Also safer, as a normal garage door opener can just walk off and give someone free entry into your house. Always prefer Homelink built-in for that reason alone!

Very true.

"ZHP is a garbage option anyway- just some cosmetic upgrades with a different cam and diff to claw back some of the performance lost fitting those hideous and heavy wheels. Any 330 with a 3.46 diff will smoke a ZHP every time. The whole Mafia thing reeks of childish behavior." - anonymous

also played with tire pressures more and found a good balance for my x-ice3's and bilstein PSS. 40psi cold (this was at around 40ºF ambient).

1. Yup, HomeLink is a great addition! Somehow it's easier than futzing with a separate garage door opener. Did you install yours in the roofliner between the sunroof controls and the BT mic?

2. Tire sizes? I'll put it in the inflation thread.

1. yep! install was easy.

2. 215/50/17 (a bit taller than stock). i chose narrower last year because it's better for snow, and it was significantly cheaper than the 225/45/17.

installed my Style 68s on saturday. forecast looks good and i am anxious. total time snow tires were on = 7 weeks and 5 days. shortest season in recorded history!! :)

Any pictures? Want to see how "low" your car sits

OE E46 Sport package sizes too. :)

i'm running those sizes on the Style 68s now, tires are michelin pilot sport AS3's. they're decent tires. fronts have 6/32" left but the rears are down to 3/32" - hence the new set of PSS. :) will wear these AS3's out by may i assume - tail wagging seems to be the daily special around here lately... :cheers
