I love your Week 1/1,000 Mile Recap! I'm totally living vicariously through you.

No rear wiper =

Did you not put your famous "bubble mirror" on your side mirrors? Is that why you are looking over your shoulder to change lanes? Ever since I changed my side mirrors to see the lane next to me (not down the side of my car) I haven't needed to look over either shoulder when changing lanes.

Oh and...

Thanks, M. I thought you'd get a kick out of the rear wiper comment.

Yes, I did put on my spot mirrors. I bought them up here and brought them with me to SC. The PCD driving instructors told us how to properly adjust the side views in the same manner as that thread here years ago, so I adjusted them accordingly.

I can't explain it, the view just seems different. You know how mirrors say objects in mirror are closer than they appear, well the objects are ALOT closer than they appear. I've always panned the the rear view and the side view mirrors so I know what's around me. I think I'm gun shy because of the rear design, I don't have the same field of vision. I'll get used to it.

I'm looking at the X6 ///M wheels...We'll see. Mark (X5Flyboy) said he took his X5 with 20s to the same car wash I go to and he never had a problem. I called the owner today and he said 12.4 inches is fine, with room to spare.
I swore I wasn't going to screw with wheels. That was the main reason I didn't go for the ///M in the first place.

I'm sure you'll get used to the mirrors.

Re: Wheels.... Why have such an amazing vehicle and not wheels to go with it? It's like wearing flats instead of heels!

get the M...

and wow, I didn't know the top view was like that!!

never seen in action....pretty neat.

love the follow-up notes...

I have 20s and love them... but you will notice decent size pot holes...

in New York there are no small pot holes....only man holes!!

my next vehicle will have 19s which I believe is the best combination.

i didn't notice...did you get the twin turbo 6 or 8?
