Extravagant I know but will be picking up a set of 18” wheels for the winter months. Do many of you guys change for winter/summer ? Also can’t believe how much more expensive 19” tyres are !! What’s that all about?????

I used to have winters on my E85, but the new E89 has brand new Uniroyal RS3 tyres on which are great so I'm probably going to run them through the winter.

After being able to go nowhere in my 1 Series in 2010 I've swapped to winters on my daily for the last few years.

They make a huge difference - as I found out when we got the Beast from the East!

But when the weather is like that my Z4 has a day off! :lol:
Coupes because stunning!

No, it's Z4 preservation in action - if something is going to get bent I'd rather it was my daily. :P
