Lets sleep through the winter...

StigJ · 11-29-2012, 03:46 PM

Put my Coupe to rest for the winter yesterday.

But first a little wash and changing of wheels. Put on my 19" LM reps from my E91 for storing. The tires are cheap so if I get flatspots I dont ruin my Michelin PSS's.

Actually looks pretty good with these wheels.

Now sleep tight.

Gold lm's look mint mate. Would love to see them on a black m coupe if anyone has a pic

Nice motor!

Mine is going away this weekend, even though it's supposed to be in the 60's on Monday. I'm toying with the idea of just garaging it as I do when it's at home, fully fueled, battery in, ready to roll. On the odd warm day I could just swap it out with the X5 and drive it for a day. But then I wonder if that will do more harm than good. Any opinions on the idea of leaving it ready to go and driving it maybe two or three days a month? My commute is 110 miles r/t, so it would get plenty warm enough to burn off moisture.

I hope not. That is what I have done with mine the two years I've had it. I haven't noticed a difference.

I do as well. I want to get one.

OP - Flat spotting on modern tires are usually a myth now. Inflate to 40 PSI and you'll be fine. Drive a couple miles and they will disappear.
