Hi and welcome.
Just before you throw it straight off the first sharp bend, just want to make sure you're aware that Buzyg was alluding to the orientation of the photo, not the actual tyre grip :lol:

Yep.....last time I took a photo like that it cost me a fortune to get it repaired !

Hi all, thanks for the welcome. I seem to be having issues with my photos so will add shortly but basically 09 Si Sport, carbon black, champagne leather, 108’s still on run flat potenzas, not overly keen on the tramlining but undecided on what to change to so will be reading up on previous posts. Based Surrey/hants/berks borders.

09 plate! That's a very late registration, do you know if it was a BMW showroom car or something?
You'll want to ditch the Potenza runflats as soon as you can. I'm running Michelin Pilot Sport 4s front and rear as well as KW V2 coilovers and the thing handles like it's on rails!
I'm in Surrey, Cobham area. Would be good to see you down at The Black Swan meet sometime. A group of us usually go. Look out for a post on the 'Meets/Events/Road Trips' page as MrTidy posts about the next meet. Every second Sunday of the month we're down there!

Hi Jphgram. That’s great, thanks for the tyre tip and the suspension mod. Not sure if it was a showroom car, but possibly one of the employees cars. Not sure what they do now but, at that time, staff used to get a good deal and they only kept it 6mths, just a thought but fits the history.
Will look out for the next meet, looks like you all went yesterday
I’m in Camberley so looks like near you and mr tidy ! Have been to the mucky duck before but on bikes. Hope to cross paths in due course

Yeah we were there yesterday. Not the biggest Zed turn out but there were two Coupes and two E89s there. We had four Coupes down there on the 29th though!
This was the 29th December meet!
