wow great find on the cracks... hadn't seen that. I really like the look of the 601s, but the fact that they are not forged is really my one big disappointment with the car. If you are going with the CP, the ride will be firmer than the base model. It was no big deal on the autobahn, but definitely feels rougher on some of the crappy Texas roads (not so many potholes, per se, but most road surfaces are worn out 'chip and seal'). As I am configuring my next M5, I am strongly leaning against the 601s, or more likely, going to purchase some nice forged aftermarkets.
