Good Evening All!
Hello Everyone! My names Mike and I'm From Brooklyn NY. I just wanted to introduce myself as the newbie in town. I love all the knowledge you guys have!
Next week my 2015 M4 conv mineral white with orange interior comes in. I had debated the Stingray but I think I'm going to be super happy with this. I never had an M before. I am looking for a little advice. The car was ordered with HK SOUND, exec package, Automatic, adaptive M suspension. I did not opt for the 19 inch larger wheels since I do need to take NYC driving into consideration. My question is this...with these 18 inches and me not street driving aggressively...would you recommend the tire and rim insurance, it will be about 1400 bucks for 3 years. Just curious how durable the light alloy is. Any pointers on this or in general would be awesome. Thanks so much in advance! Mike D |

Welcome Mike. Enjoy your car when you get and don't look back at the vette. You'll be blown away w this M car. As far as the the insurance you'll have to make that call. Do you find yourself often in need of replacing tires or repairing cracked rims? If so I'd say go for it as a piece of mind. If not and you drive pretty conservatively then I'd say save your money. Put it towards mods as that's more of an addiction. Lol

Hey,
I'm waiting on my m3 w/ 18s as well. I didn't get the tire insurence, I took into considerstion a new set of 4 tires cost around 1000 with installation. I'm pretty good with my tires my 335 with 18s never really had any problem and never replaced the tires in the 2 years I owned it. But on the other hand my infiniti q50s with 19s I ripped my tires 3 times already in the past 8 months but the dealer gave me free tire warranty cuz I was walking away. Reason why I got 18s So in my experience you should be good with 18s but it's your call |

It's funny, you make a great point!!! I guess it comes down to either pay now or pay later lol. But either way it's not an egregious waste. I had a 2009 AMG CLK and no joke over 36 months, zero racing or being aloof I went thru 6 rims and 10 tires. So I won there. Next car was a GLK TRUCK, I had the insurance, 39 months and nada! Mercedes got me on that lol.
But I think these 18s are $400 a rear tire, $350 a front and God knows what a rim is. I think I'm going to do it! Good luck on your M3 what color? I see these frozen colors are sharp! |

Thanks for the feedback bimmerphile! I appreciate it big time! You are luck that it was only a tire and not a wreck with that nail strip! What color combo did you get with the YAS???
Thanks again
