New shoes!

Goodbye all season run flats, hello PS4S on 19x9 Satin Black Apex VS-5RS.

I find it really hard to capture or see the "poke" and stance in photos, but wow does the (non ZTK) car look so much better with the wider tires. Going to be hard to go back to the stock wheels and offset for winter.



Next... Lowering springs?

Love the car but I’m biased 🙈

Do you really feel the need to drop the car?
For me the ride heigh looks good.

If you have someone from the forum nearby with some drop, maybe you can test it before you do it.

I don't want to drop it a ton, just a bit, while also reducing some of the body roll. Thinking about eibach springs and some camber plates.

Forgot to mention... The ride quality between run flats and go flats is night and day! The car rides so much better on the PS4S - and quieter too!

I couldn't believe how much softer it felt... Highly recommend go flats!

Yep, I had allways on my cars runflat winter and non runflat on summer and it’s night and day.

My understanding is that sway bars are a pretty involved install that require dropping the subframe or something.

I would be interested otherwise.

I see. What is your take on the products? Some members here are saying that they are no better than the eBay ones.

How are the side winglets installed?

They are okay... The finish is fine, but I feel like they are a maybe little warped and sit too close to the side. Or maybe that is by design. Not sure. Overall pretty happy with them and not anything I didn't expect from ABS plastic.

That said I wish I would have gone with the TRE kit (or the new one they released) in carbon fiber instead, but I was worried I would be scraping everything and destroy it. The TRE spoiler is great.

They are attached using factory fasteners and pretty secure.

The first thing I did was put on a set of Continental Extreme Contact non run flats. If I get another BMW M240i xdrive, which so far would be something I would definitely do, I will do exactly the same thing.

Love the car.
