My new 2018 BMW M3 Comp Grigio Telesto

telesto_M3C · 02-17-2022, 05:26 PM

Hey all!

Just got my car last week and wanted to be part of this community. I was lucky to get into a 2018 M3 with the most beautiful color, Grigio Telesto pearl metallic.

I do have some lower back issues and at first took me a while to get the comp seats adjusted where I wouldn't have intense pain after a drive. I absolutely love the car but there are things that I need to change. First of all, it came with the 19s 437 wheels with the horrible run flats. I have to get rid of the run flats ASAP. A question, where can I sell them, they are like new. I've read in this forum that most people are saying that 18s will run smoother with a 35/40 tire. I'm planning on BBS e88s as soon as I have the cash. I'm also planning on KW V4 coil overs to retain the Adaptive M suspension. Another thing is that I am going to buy a lumbar support for the seat. Does anyone have any suggestions on any they've either tried, or recommend one from the other?

For those young kids out there, I'm 48, so go easy on me, lol. I have a bad back, but absolutely love the M3 and want to make it work best for me.

Congrats and welcome.

No offense but those pics are terrible. Did you mean to crop them like that?

Welcome and beautiful color. I'd suggest to try the local forum here for the tires or local Craigslist. Agree that the ride will be much better with non run flats. But some prefer the runflats to the peace of mind driving.

Cheers!
