Looks like a great combo and good choice on the silver wheels.

Congrats!

It was always a contender...in the end I thought smb was bold enough and I've always loved amaro. Modena and cinnamon were two of my favorite interiors from past generations and amaro worked for me.

Congrats Chris! I'm sure you're glad you waited and ordered exactly what you wanted!

I had pss on my e92 and was never impressed with them aside from the reasonable cost. Contis are much better in the wet too.

I meant the sidewall profile looks different, more roundish/bulgy looking on the contis vs. PSS. I just like the clean flatter profile of the Michelins better. Just a visual preference.

Contis just ride harsher from my experience. Grip is comparable I'm sure in the dry. Wet, well, we are in the worst drought in 1200 years in CA so I guess that doesn't make any difference for me haha.

Love the combo and enjoy your ED!

Lol... Yeah I hear ya. Wet grip matters a little more in the northeast.

Great looking whip. Congrats

My dream combo. congrats, it looks amazing!!
Enjoy your trip and post more pics when you get a chance.

Brosef · 08-29-2015, 10:52 PM

Chris - pics look amazing. This color is absolutely perfect, and the Amaro complements it so well. I'm still shocked how many people go with the black wheels when the silver 19's look this good.

Love seeing it at the Welt. Looking forward to further updates / pics.

ZAGA_M3 · 08-30-2015, 01:06 AM

Congrats, looks beautiful and enjoy
