I used to own a 2000 M Roadster and frequented the BMW forums a lot. I know exactly what you mean.

Porsche guys hate Ferraris, Ford guys hate Chevies, VW guys hate Hondas... I don't think we hate any other car group out there, do we?
Miatas?

Which forum? I haven't had any problems on E90 when I mention my old S for the most part.

Yeah, most BMW guys actually like S2K's from my experience, except for the ignorant ones, but who cares about them anyways.

Yeah the BMW forums are easy to recognize the actual enthusiasts from John Doe who just bought his BMW because he thinks that status actually means something, not because he liked the specs that went along with the car.

I remember going to some of the meets and they would talk smack about guys that passed in Hondas.
One of meets had us driving about 15 miles to Angeles Crest and the M3 guys were dying to catch Hondas on the freeway. Oh well. To Each his own.


How do you guys like it compared to the Amuse version?

Is the Amuse car running 20's? It looks to have a more aggressive wheel fitment, and quite a bit lower than the Sunbeam.

The E92 can fit some meat. Seeing them in 19's, they look how E46's looked in 18's.

Pretty sure they will be able to take 315's in the rear.

I wonder if we're going to see a push towards performance oriented tires in 19's, with the GTR, E92, 997's.... running such massive rolling gear

BMW & JDM wheels don't mix. Just IMO. Not that I dont like the TEs, they're my favorite Volk wheel. But racing wheels just doesn't look right on a luxury BMW. It's like wearing sneakers w/ a three piece suit.

The Amuse car is absolutely sick with the LM-R's on it. GTR's come with 20's BTW.
