seems steep to me.. can't you find performance tires cheaper than that?


well
from the honda accord
you'll be thrilled
welcome to the world of bmw
but...
the car is infinitely better with the sp
handles better
the steering is still somewhat light
but the car will handle likes it's on rails to you
much more so with the sp
than without
i think that most here would agree with that
either way..... good luck
we welcome you

but
get the sp
worth the money
the tires are more expensive
and never to be rotated
because all 4 are different
and that can be more expensive
if you get the michelin pilots
start putting money away right away
you'll get no more than 18K miles from them
and they will cost >$1400.00 to replace in most markets
but
the car will be like a slice of heaven
my 330i sedan will be my 4th bmw
i can't get away from them
they have you hooked from the moment you turn the key
the very first time
