I run the Falken Ziex ZE512's but my vert see's low mileage. I love these tires personally. Fast tread wear just means more $ spent which is alright for a great performing tire.

Ok, cool. I was also curious if you guys might agree with my reasoning for getting them. On my last set of tires, Falken Ziex 512s, I burned clean through the whole set before the first rotation. I got 7k miles out of a 400 tread wear tire. The people at the tire shop said that a more performance oriented tire might last longer for me due to my aggressive driving. It sounded reasonable to me so I thought I'd give it a shot.

How is your alignment? I go through tires like crazy but 7k sounds extremely short.

[e30vert]

Those tires come with a 30 K warranty from Falken by the way. Its prorated of course , but might save you some $ if you purchased from a shop. That is unless you have mad camber wear which I think nullifies the warranty.

I'm pretty sure my alignment is alright, but I haven't had it checked or anything. I would go through Falken's warranty, but I used those tires at two autocrosses, so unfortunately I voided it.

I'm probably gonna be picking up some 512's for my rf's soon.

Guys, I may be an idiot for this, but I need a DD and these fit my budget ($5k), and are something nice, newer, and comfy.

Found a couple E38 740i Sports and iLs, and a couple E31 840Ci on Craigslist, and am seriously considering them. Ideas/thoughts/nightmare stories?

It's no E30, but I want to try something else.

with all the money you will save from a car that never breaks down, you can afford something with ITBs to track

not really looking to spend track car money right now, but I'll look into the Acura.

Any idea on the E31/38s? They have a reputation but how much of that is internet fearmongering?

[Cabriolet]

i've heard nothing but expensive horror stories about those 2 cars. the e31 is sex, but a nightmare on maintenance. the e38s are the same headache but less looks.

if you want a GT car. the e39 530i is a good DD. otherwise just get an e46 for the same money.

I need to start modding it…or not.

[oliver.r]

just leave it

[Wh33lhop]

I spy euro grills. Too late to keep it stock, next logical mod is an S54. Get to it.
