Thank you,
I've purchased my spoiler from amazon ikon Motorsport, same fitment for coupe and sedan, vert is different, it fit great and is painted black sapphire.

I've purchased a similar spoiler for my m4 from them and holding up great after a few years.

Second call he said they’d cover 95% of it but since it was a “known issue with a TSB” it isn’t covered under CPO. I asked him then what the point of CPO is if it won’t even cover a known issue and he didn’t have a good answer for that. I’m waiting to hear back from the service manager. I have no idea why I specifically purchased a CPO car at a premium, when they turn around and say “since it has a TSB” on the issue, they won’t cover it.

That's a load of bullshit, I'd call BMWNA.

I had to argue with the dealer a bit but they ended up covering the whole repair. Two seat frames and 22 hours of labor. They also fixed a timing cover leak under CPO.

22 hours for fuckin seats?

It looks like they also fixed the timing cover gasket. That can be a very time consuming process.

The service advisor said the book hours for just the two seats is 22 hours. They still have the car lol. They have to take everything off the old seats and install it onto the new frames, apparently!

There's absolutely no way it takes 22 hours to do the seat frames. He's taking BMW for a ride... no pun intended. No wonder they were happy to do it under warranty. They are making a s*** ton of money.

4 inch tips on my 640GC[IMG]undefined[/IMG]

[brad850csi]

Cross posting myself from the M6 forum but whatever

Went with Ferrada FR8 wheels in 20x10" 25mm and 20x11.5" 18mm

[Aesthetic]

Really nice rims but with such a big tires I would rather go 21x10 + 21x12.

[Opie55]

Those tires look a bit like balloons to me. Like you are going offroading or something.

Looks like an overkill IMHO. Did you previously have 3 inch ones? I think 3.5 is the sweet spot.

I was considering 21" but there isn't anything available in sport cup 2 and I didn't want to go to something as aggressive as an R888. The only front option is 275/35r21 which is taller again and the rear wouldn't fit either, the only decent option is the 325/30r21 which is the same spec as the GT2 RS but again, too tall overall.

Basically the same sidewall as on the staggered 19" option for non Ms and shorter than the stock M6 19" wheel setup. I did want a bit of sidewall and as mentioned just above there weren't that many other options.

Not today, but recent things I've done:

- Zip tie for the exhaust valve, vroom vroom
- Changed to non-RFT
- Finally got around to coding yesterday. I am not too proud to admit that I was shaking like a little girl the ENTIRE time lol

Sorry, none of these are picture-worthy

To me and my but this is a most wise move if we're talking about DD and not driving barely in silky track roads.

Those heavy big wheels with hard tires ( while the RF ones are the most worst) do destroy the enjoyability of your car.

I bought my car with winter set up under ( alloy+tire weight almost 60 pounds/ 245/45/18 tires harder than RF ) and even I've active suspension car felt terribly ...... I bought new winter set up ( combination weight 45 pounds/ 225/50/18 'soft' tire ) and sky did open ...... suspension STARTED to work as should and car is flying without a notice (less friction/ car body do not 'notice' small bumbs at all while suspension works).

Dealership still has my car 2.5 weeks later, working on my front seats and a lower timing cover leak they found, both under CPO. Service advisor claims they’re charging about $30,000 in work to BMW, who knows if that’s correct but all I know is I’m glad I’m not paying!

Based on what your are saying they are doing, 30k is ridiculous. It's a bogus upcharge. This is why dealerships have a bad name.

Can I ask what tyres you changed to?

Yeah who knows!

They said for the lower timing cover leaks, the engine has to get dropped. Is that correct?
