Heard that camskill are good for prices atm
Got mine from camskill, cheapest I could find. I was also very pleased that they arrived in two days.However, they say "made in brazil" when every other Michelin I've had before has been made in France. I hope this dosn't mean poor quality.

PS2s? Definitely Costco if you can get to one. No-where will even come close during their 20% sales.
Do i need a membership to shop at Costco?Has certainly saved me a fortune when buying PS2s over the years.
I've used Camskill and found them cheap and quick. I purchased Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta for my M3 and although they've only been on for about 300 miles, I've been very impressed. Better than the PS1s I've had and I'd say so far just as good as the PS2s I had on a previous M3. They seem to be getting very good reviews on forums and in magazines. I was a little nervous becuase it isn't a make I'd heard of and I didn't want a budget tyre, but a review in EVO mag convinced me. The other tyre I would have consisered was the Goodyear F1 as they won the EVO test but they don't make them in the right size for the M3 with 19" wheels unfortunately.
The quote shown below is from Mytyres - the front set seem really cheap compared to competitors or their price when I looked a month or so ago 
May order a set at this price.

+1I went through the same thought process and have been very happy with the Vredesteins on my M3CS; for me the overall performance is a match for the PS2 but at a (generally) lower price. However, as aMb has pointed out, Mytyres are currently offering a very good deal on PS2's if you need a pair for the front!
Are the Vredesteins available in the correct fitment for the e92 m3?
Also as these are not BMW approved they could invalidate the warrant on the car or as some e9x m3 are coming up to warranty renewal you may find you will have to change tyres again to comply.

Not sure the Vredesteins are available in the right size for the E92 M3! I think the standard 18" wheels are 245/40 at the front and 265/40 at the rear and, while you can get Vredesteins in 245/40, I'm not sure they're available as 265/40 (think they may only come as 265/35). I don't know what size tyres are fitted on the optional 19" wheels on an E92 so can't help there I'm afraid!Also as these are not BMW approved they could invalidate the warrant on the car or as some e9x m3 are coming up to warranty renewal you may find you will have to change tyres again to comply.

As far as the warranty is concerned, I don't think a different make of tyre should be an issue providing they are the correct size, speed rating, etc. I suspect there are quite a few used BMW's on dealer forecourts with non-OEM tyres fitted but I bet they'll still be up for sale complete with approved used BMW warranty!
