I’m trying to be careful up to 2000 km but I have to admit I have totally nailed it a couple of times while overtaking a couple of vehicles. Otherwise I’m being pretty good.

Tyre pressure for the Non-runflat Michelin Pilots is 39 psi for front and rear. I have the TPMS, but I have also noticed a one psi difference across the four tyres after I thought I had the correct pressure in each tyre. As the Beemer is not as sensitive as an F1 car, I can live with this difference.
I’m sure NOSUV4ME would like to have this problem, rather than zero psi

Can't wait to hit 2000 , I feel I can't experience the ultimate driving machine in all its glory as yet !!
Thanks for the tire pressures Steve maybe I will just pump mine to 36 all around
Yes all flat tires are not good !!

I got a set from AliExpress and put those on myself. I did a terrible job. Bubbles, creases...even my kids noticed. Might have to invest in a more expensive set soon.

That's good to hear. I was thinking of taking my car to Frank. Seems to have very good reviews.

Any downsides to the self healing stuff you could see?

I'm curious about this too. Everything I read before doing mine suggested this is not something you get from a coating.

Just picked up the special boot liner for the 330e. For some reason it costs less than the standard one! Even after having to add all those creases.

Whoa!
I’m do apologize profusely if I have put a hex on you.
I take it you have yet another puncture.......in a brand new tyre!
Unbelievable bad luck.
What kind of roads are you driving on? Gravel or sealed?
I’ve never heard of anyone getting so many punctures in such a short time frame.

You need to warn us Victorians about where you drive, so we don't!!

Indeed.
Don’t believe what Desperate Dan has been saying about South Australia. Our roads seem to be much more forgiving than the ones that NOSUV4ME is using.

NoSUV4Me · 06-18-2020, 04:21 AM

@SteveAus and Slideit this third rap wasn't even a puncture. I went to collect my car after tyre repair and was informed "somewhere along the way" the front bumper was damaged. In the dealership. By whom don't know. So there goes the PPF as well

This is the stuff of nightmares for us new car owners

I’m sad for you.

Are you sharing the name of the dealership, or are you still in the process of getting them to make things right?
