this is my 2nd BMW, but alot of people wouldn't count my first. I had a '72 2002 and if you believe this I drove it off the show room floor for $4200. It was a great car for it's time, but nothing like the M. I got kinda lucky when I had to get my new tires. It was during the change over from Mxx to Pilot Sports. I got a nail in a rear that couldn't be patched, the MXX and Sports aren't compatible so I had to get all four. I was pissed so I contacted Michelin and they prorated the fronts for me. I got all four for $900.
