Thanks, I can see it where the reflection of the cement crack is. Very subtle, but looks great. Nice to see someone get use of a tire warranty.

The photos are pretty good. The book was not written buy or approved by BMW. When I get a chance I will start reading it. Like many reviews they believe the storage space reduction on the X4M versus the X3M and stiff ride are unfavorable.

I think you might be one of the few running dinan springs. I have always wondered why so few people were using them.

Put the Evolve shifter paddles the stock ones are too short. These are much easier to reach and feel good in the hand. I didn't even remove the steering wheel or unclip the paddles from the harness. Fairly easy to do.
