I've had it twice, once just when I first connected my iPhone, a second time just out of the blue while driving. The first time was before the running in service so I reported it, not reported the 2nd time yet.
Believe it or not, just once, yesterday..... I am going to mention when I drop off for the naG screen replacement on Tuesday. Happened in my 13m5 a couple times. Never really concerned me.

If it only happens once in a while then it's not too much of an issue, but if it's more frequent it could get annoying.

Totally agree. One other thing this reminded me of - I use an iPad Bluetooth connected for music and unlike the m5 it drops connection a lot. That's on my fix list.

I only did rears. Front look ok as is. 5 mm probably most, if any, on front. I don't think it's needed.

Car looks great, even on winter set up. The carbon fiber touches are tasteful and a nice touch to the car. You need some 110mm exhaust tips next. Fill that back bumper and diffuser up beautifully! Enjoy!

Thanks for the note. I am waiting a little while on additional stuff. May do an exhaust but haven't decided yet. Definitely trying to give the car more sport but stay somewhat low key.

Swap them out for Michelin Alpin PA4's, mine are awesome.

From the pic, it looks like the tires are a bit worn. When I was driving my Z4M, 335i, or 335d around the tread depth made a huge difference in traction when it was snowing.

Ive also read plenty of reviews stating the Pirellis are marginal snow tires. The reason they did great on the M5 was they were new. Now that the tread is worn down, you are getting less traction. I recommend getting a Dunlop, Nokian, or Bridgestone snow tire on there. It will do much better.

Very nice, but IMO you should just powder coat the winters.

I found this yesterday, same wheel, adjacent spokes.
Any resolution?

Tires actually hVe plenty of tread. What I found was that I was having issues mostly starting off, not stopping, turning or weaving.... So now in snow I go to MDM setting and it's massively better. DSC was just getting to much involved in stopping the wheel spin. That said, I don't like driving it in the winter...

Unfortunately, no. I hope the spacers will be delivered today. So I will install it at the next weekend.
The supplier had promised me the delivery last week. But, never believe a salesman...
