Those wheels/tires don't stand a chance of surviving tri-state roads. You wouldn't make it to the first turn before bending a wheel. Even my 2003 E46 wagon lost a wheel with under 100 miles on the odometer. And that was with boring 205/50-17 tires.

Do you remember that guy named Fred somebody over at the 'fest who used to post the per-model US monthly sales numbers for BMW? It would make an interesting comparison to see how much business BMW is actually losing because of their "too few sales to justify for the US market" excuse, particularly when the cars in question are being built in the US or Mexico. |
