Turns out I only have 2 authorized dealers locally, one of which has been in business for over 15 years and doing XPEL exclusively for 8. I decided to go with them as they have already done this car and had photos of it etc., really knew their shit. The quotes I got were both around 6 grand for...

I browse all the BMW forums and this is only really being talked about on the other B58 forums for the most part so far. I know the tuning community only makes up a portion of the overall owner community but still, interesting that there's only a handful of relevant threads out there about this...

Any tuners here brave / stupid enough to attempt to re-code a b58 ECU? If someone thinks it’s do-able, willing to try, let me know, could get one pre 6/20 from eBay. I’m doing jb4 for now but I reaaaallly wanted a pure turbo and without a legitimate tune available to 2021 owners, kind of a bummer.

Appreciate the feedback. Will do.

Figured I'd make a new thread instead of trying to revive old ones. Anyone that's done a full XPEL, what did it set you back? Trying to ensure that quotes I get are not overpriced.

Anyone that's had XPEL done - mind sharing costs? There are 2 dealers that are authorized in my city, trying to understand what a full wrap should cost without getting ripped off.

technically changing tire size shouldnt affect alignment, so right, i probably wouldnt have to do it again.

Could be. Either that or go XTREME and get Cup 2's. That being said, I'd have to go straight to 295 rears as they don't make 285s. Trying to keep stock wheels if I can.

Yeah it's kind of a nightmare right now based on the tire you are looking for. I called Michelin directly, they halted production on performance tires for a while during the pandemic, now they are playing catch up.

Looking for 2 of these - hard to find right now, on backorder - checked all the normal sites, no dice. Got some 285 rears and trying to complete the set. Happy to pay a little over MSRP (plus shipping costs of course) to the right person, or if anyone can direct me to a local shop somewhere...

Yeah. Trying to decide what to do. I thought a tire change made sense from the perspective that it's going in for a JB4 tune/exhaust/springs, wider grippier tires seemed to be the next best step. My options are now are: Hold onto the 285 PS4S and wait months for the 265 and keep stock PSS on...

My other option is return the 285 PS4's and just get 4 different tires 265/285. Anything else comparable to PS4 that's an upgrade from the stock PSS?

The 265s are not available anywhere in the country. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Michelin&tireModel=Pilot+Sport+4S&partnum=635YR9PS4SXLV2&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes They have a 4/16 date that is just an estimate at this point. I got the 285s from TireRack...

Looks like i'm screwed for the time being, sad part is I got the rears (285s), 265's are nowhere to be found with no good ETA. Thanks covid!

says OOS...

Assuming it's Covid related - I've called about...6 vendors looking for Michelin PS4S 265/35/R19 fronts. I already had the 285 rears delivered, and an order in for the 265 that the vendor cancelled saying they realized they didn't have any. Anyone have a lead on a place I could get them? Much...

traction control bogged him down

I like it a lot too, and I don't typically like hatchbacks/wagons. I personally think it's one of the better looking MB's (GTR being the king of course).

I went with the Z4 m40i because I wanted a convertible, but I didn't really consider the the C8 because 1) I hate the interior layout and 2) you can't hardly get one unless you're willing to pay over MSRP, which is an absolute joke. That being said, the Z06 could be enough to make me rethink...
