Wes.... right now there's nothing I would want to do more than move to Cali where John is.... with both my BMWs

Owning winter wheels and summer wheels are also more expensive than just buying all seasons. If you track your car or really push it to the limit on a regular basis then you will definitely appreciate dedicated winter or summer wheels. But for everything else, all seasons are just fine.

I had conti's on my ZHP before I got the Michelins. Conti's were fine, not astounding but they had a long tread life. Got 3 years out of them before they were bald. Testing the Michelins now.

Rob,

I think you will love the Michelins... I have a friend who uses them on his E39 M5 and he loves them!

Yeah I like them already. I've only heard good things about these tires so far.

Yeah...today was a high of 39. Would love to have had warm weather to install my new radiator. Speaking of that SOB...way back in this thread like 10 pages ago, I said I would get pics of the old one...camera app on the phone busted so I got a new one.

Here are the pics. It's pretty insane.











I didn't do anything but fight with that effing lower rad hose. This is all natural wear and tear from a 13 year old radiator...absolutely not what I expected to see.

Removal was as easy as two bolts and those goofy nuts that have spongy threads. Absolutely recommend the Behr replacement.

LOL. Come on in, the water's warm! (Not really, but the air is. )

Don't lie. More than that you'd rather move to Florida where this Jon is...

[JupiterBMW]

Oh, and our water IS warm...

[cakM3]

Yeah Justin.... I agree Behr is the way to go when replacing radiators....I will have to do this to my ZHP sometime this summer....just the radiator...


@ John... yeah, I know the waters off of Cali is cold right now....used to live there (4 years in San Diego)

Got the ZHP some new shoes! Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus. It's gonna be about 200 miles to really break them in, but they grip is phenomenal. My old Conti DWS were great, but 3 years on a tire and these were starting to dry rot. Not to mention I had pretty much 0 tread left.

I also got an alignment. Before I bought the car, the PO told me about a pothole he hit and cracked a rear rim. He had it replaced with another OEM Style 135 and all was fine. What he didn't do was get an alignment done. So the toe was completely off in my rear passenger wheel. All fixed now. Posting results in the Alignment thread found HERE

Nice choice, I have the same tires. I really like them!

Boo hoo.


I washed my car today at the self-serve place and noticed all my wax + sealant was gone.. again. I give up.
^There. Back on track.

I use Wolfgang Deep gloss 3.0 sealaent and chemical guys XXX paste wax and get stunning results, the bead on my car is insane.

You used opti-seal, right? Maybe try a liquid sealaent?
