As a G05 owner, the F15 was a much better driver's car.

I don't miss having to buy those! Expensive, tough to find and don't last that long. But boy do they look great, right?

I'm curious why you guys didn't go for the new Pilot Sport 4S? I thought they were MUCH better...

Did they have them back then in OEM sizes? Not that I'm aware of.

Ohhh honestly I’m not aware. When I was last shopping for those sizes, it was years ago in my E70 X5M and I too was running the Pilot Super Sport. When the PS4S came out, I upgraded to them on my E90 M3 and E91 335is… I didn’t think about availability.

I just checked Discount Tire and they do have the 4S in 21" OEM sizes, both front and rear. This is the first time I've seen fronts and rears available at the same time. Over the past few years they've either not been available, or only the fronts were I think.

Fresh 3 year ceramic coating, paint correction and trim restore completed this weekend. Feels almost like we’ve breathed new life into the car.

How long did it take? Did you have to do any paint correction?

So it took about 15 hours over two days. Wash, decontamination, rinse, single step paint correction (two step in some places), polish, strip wash to remove residue, then coat the body, followed by wheels and plastics.

sukhk527 · 02-22-2024, 06:58 PM

it’s not for everyone, but I like it and that’s all that matters.

I thought it said "tuned by soup" at first. Which got me excited, given I love soup.
