Really enjoying the RTs I've got. Former sidewalls than the Goodyears. Wet grip is very good with both
I've read the Dunlops aren't good for tram-lining on the E46, many people really rate the Goodyears on the E46, and the Michelins too. Though I do believe that Dunlop and Conti were the OEM tyres.petrolveins said:

I'm looking at the Vredstein Ultrac Sessanta, they're the same price as the Falkens, better reviews and have the most pretty tread pattern ever.
These are good, but have been as good as replaced with the Ultrac Vorti I think. Cuuld be worth a look? Tread pattern is more 'Michelin' though.Max M4X WW said:

Excellent site as well, not too many people have heard of it from what I've seen either.
Having had a look on blackcircles, the rears would be around a tenner cheaper each but it isn't showing any as available for the front.

Tyres are due this week, will get the MOT done at the same time.
Hate to say it but I'm coming back round to wanting to sell it again, found another scrape on it this morning from a moron who can't drive. It's causing me a lot of agro and upset, bloody love the thing, but I can't give it what it deserves, and being parked in a street with people who don't give a f
k about their little stboxes or anyone else is not right for it. It also strikes me I'm sitting on rather a big lump of money that is slowly becoming less. If you've seen my other thread, I was looking at getting a second car, truth be told, I want a second car to distract me from the E46 so I can let it go.
Going to go speak to a few people this week see if it's worth what I think it is.

Another update, new rear tyres went on the morning and car passed the MOT after, advisory for small chip to windscreen and that fuel filler cap seal is cracking. I'm sure eBay will sort that out for me.
This car is going to ruin me, my head says I really ought to sell it, but every time I get behind the wheel I just fall in love. It's difficult at Uni when you don't use it for week, walk past it see a scratch and think 'to hell with the bloody thing, more hassle than it's worth' but then you get in it and mechanically its spot on and that really is what matters. It is staying. In fact something might be joining it soon.
Oh and the old tyres got thrown away almost entirely bald. Yesterday they were still legal. Might have some photos to share in a bit.

Well too much spent at my desk today doing coursework has resulted into much research into retrofitting xenon healights. None of this HID kit bks. As a result a set of Bi-Xenon headlights have been purchased from eBay, taken off a 330d, and a Light Control Module from a M3. Very excited. Will plug and play, will need my Indy to sort out the error codes and install the new LCM, and then Xenons will be mine. Although for full Bi-Xenon functionality will need to get handy with the soldering iron and wiring diagrams. Cannot wait!
