Same to you! And Congrats! I love the 640 in Carbon Black! I bought mine used and didn’t really notice the ‘blue’ until I was taking final delivery. I was like: “Hey! Is that thing blue?” Salesman summoned more pride than a fresh father and said: “She’s Carbon Black, sir. Used to be you could only get that on the M cars.” I get lots of compliments on the color. Happy Motoring!

I have a question. Are your wheels 19s? If so, what size tires are they? My wheels are 19s and the tires are 245/45 R19s but when I do a search for the correct tires to replace the run flats the results are all 245/40s.

The wheels in Gavin's photo are in fact Style 351's, available in 19" only. Available in 245/40 19 Square set up or 275/35 19 staggered (rear). Frupals are 20's (chrome rims).
Check inside the drivers door frame for OEM tires specs. L |

Frupal's 20" wheels (w/o chrome) were the optional wheels that cost about $1,400 extra. Mine came with the 20s, but I had the dealer swap for 19s from another car because I thought the 20s rode too harsh. They had run flats, but I think I would prefer the 19s even with regular tires. Plus I actually prefer the design of the 19s.

If you're 19" tire sizes are different...perhaps an OP (or seller) changed the tire size when replacing or wanted a different "ride" characteristic.

Huh! So, evidently the previous owner replaced his old run flats with new goodyear eagle ls-2 run flats of a different size. What a strange thing to do. Welp, good to know as these bricks are getting replaced and I'm glad I know now the correct size. Maybe they did it to fill the wheel wells up a little better? I've driven by a few radar stations and the speedo seems spot on, so it's not making too much of a difference. Thanks guys.
