Indeed!

Very nice selections. I love the Saddle interior (if only they made it in nappa), but I bet it looks stunning with the MB. I'm sure the Z looks great in that color combo as well (I too will have to own a SB BMW at some point), and you can never go wrong with IB on an M.

What do you think of the '11 X's?

I definitely was going to upgrade the 4.8 before the final pics came out, then the pics came out, and I definitely wasn't going to, now I'm not sure...the TT8 is very tempting...just not sure if it is tempting enough to write a check for $30k (difference between the value of my '08 with 14k miles and a discounted purchase price off a $85k MSRP '11) for a car I drive mainly in the winter for 5-7k miles/year.

I have the OEM 20" staggered setup on my 09 diesel. Wheels have the OEM Dunlop Sportmaxx runflats. I feel the ride/handling is quite a bit better than the 19" all-seasons. Much more responsive in general. I'm sure the life on the summer tires will be less than the all-seasons, but for general ride improvement I'll deal with that.

Ha, someone show me a good comparison of the new 11' bumper vs. the ford (focus, I think) 90% identical, glad I went with the 10’. Looks like twin in the garage

a full set of OEM TPMS from the dealer are $315 for a '10. Some people have been using earlier year TPMS with success in a '10 which (as you noted) can be found else where cheaper.

If you're going to run the 11" wide rears, you'll need the sport package fender extensions as well. However we are running 275/40's on the 10" front 214's all around for winter and they look great without the sport package fender extensions and perfectly fill out the wheel wells.

A full set of brand new oem 214 wheels can be purchased from Tischer for about $2k (not including tires, TPMS, and mounting and balancing).

Try this site..they have the best deal around from what I've seen..these are the exact ones that come with the OEM wheels..

If you get the OEM wheels and tires from factory the come with the TPMS already; atleast my 215's did.
