plus, upon thinking, this car is so dialed id best just put what bmw says unless i get lighter, wider wheels (i wont, ill get the f90 before i drop coin on rims. or much else, im modified to my satisfaction finally, after 14 months lol.)

im just holding tight and hoping my garage queen doesnt bite me in the wallet anytime soon.

ive built good friendships at my dealer.. wanna hear the latest service story?

some dude in an f10 m5 has had a circuit chewed up by a rat or squirrel..
the circuit is behind the gas/brake pedals.
its a 26 hour job to pull it and replace blah blah

$10,200!! HAA! fuuuck that!

I had this issue with my previous Audi when i lived in Colorado. I'd get back to parking it in the evening, and rodents would crawl into the engine bay and chew on the wires like beef jerky. It caused a few oil warning lights to come on, but the dealership was kind enough to replace it under warranty. Apparently it's a common issue with colder climates. ugh.

manufacturers are using soy based plastics and rodents LOVE IT.
