After doing 8 weeks of research while waiting for winter to end, everything points to Michelin Pilot Super Sports as the benchmark tire. Why get anything else? After the long wait, mine are going on this Monday, pics to come soon.

I'll be in the area that morning for a friends birthday, so I may bring him for the cruise. Is it cool if he shows in his 300 srt8 or should I just let him drive my E90? I'm not sure I'll make it if he doesn't come along, staying at his place that weekend and don't want to ditch him.

Very nice, what tires are you getting? I'm torn between Michelin PSS and Hankooks for my new wheels

pretty much this. It's a highly unfortunate circumstance of "the car scene'. Travel for a couple bigger car shows is one thing, but this is why I typically only frequent Cars and Coffee in Lake Mills - it's an excuse to force myself to take time out to meet up with friends particularly in the BMW community who I don't otherwise get a chance to see because running 2 businesses and having kids takes a lot of time. It's also why I gave up on major car build projects - the time I do have to devote to cars is time I want to just spend with like-minded enthusiasts. I can't see myself going around to other random gatherings with chumps who don't know any better, or much at all about cars for that matter.
I've heard nothing but bad things about all the other local "car shows" or "cars and coffee" meetups where it's literally just a bunch of Built not Bought kids who think building something means slapping WCEC stickers on when they get a set of $300 coilovers with cut springs and spray painted wheels.
Just saw this and wanted to say this is why I look forward to more meets with you guys. You were by far the friendliest group I met up with last year, the WI car scene needs more of that.
On another note, this came up on my phone today. Are they really going for this much now?

Hi all,
So I'm looking into picking up a set of Style 162 Wheels for my 06 330xi. The rears are half an inch wider than the front though, and I am worried about this messing with the AWD system. I know these are OEM wheels and they were offered for the xi cars, but I just want to make sure these will be fine with my car before I grab them. Has anyone owned or is currently using these?
Pic below in case anyone forgot what they look like.
Thanks guys!

Do you have a CD changer?
Ah, the birth of a fresh meme

That's what I was afraid of. I guess theoretically I could pick up a dedicated MP3 player and load that thing up with music to leave in the car, I feel like that would work at least.

Phone is Nexus 6P.
No iDrive, just the normal sound system with bluetooth but I can't get it to play music through that. To be fair, I haven't messed with that part of it too much, I'll look into that.
Not sure if all of you meant to post that twice, but yes I have a CD changer lol

Hi everyone,
I met a bunch of you at the cruise earlier in the month but thought I'd say hi to everyone.
My name is Lars, I'm in La Crosse which is full of Honda's and Subaru's which makes me sad, and is why I drove 3 hours to come meet and drive with you guys.
I currently have an 06 330xi that is new to me as of September and I'm completely smitten with (pictures below). Before that I had a black 03 325i which had a lot of character but even more flaws that I didn't know about until after I bought it. It was my first car and while I feel like I made a bad financial decision with it, I still love it and miss it some days.
I'm from Germany originally where my BMW fandom started when my Dad had what must have been an E30, and my mom brought home a brand new E46 many years ago. We didn't have much money usually, so those cars left quite the impression on me.
Fast forward to 2011 and my Step dad leased a brand new 328i, which eventually became the car I learned to drive in, and is probably why I pursued an E90 as soon as I had an excuse to do so.
Enough about me, pics below (I just put white LED's in today after the drivers side bulb died on me).

Hi All,
So I am trying to think of a way to utilize the steering wheel controls on my 06 330xi for listening to music through my phone. I only have an auxiliary port to plug into the phone, so I guess the cars sound system acts like fancy a headset, but I feel like there should be a way to use the up and down buttons to skip songs on Pandora or other similar music apps.
Has anyone attempted to make this work, or should I just fork out more money and get Sirius XM installed?
I'm new here so let me know if there is any additional info needed that I forgot. The car is completely stock in the sound department as far as I know.
Thanks.

I'm either first here or in the wrong place...
Someone come talk to me if they see a blue E90 please

How long does that drive take out of curiosity, I don't see mileage listed on the map?
Oops never mind, find it in op
