Noisy ass BMW and its stupid ass run flat tires

Damn car only has 12k miles and the run flats are shot since BMW uses crap tires. Not happy.

Well, there's another $1200 down the toilet. . . . as long as you don't buy the same tires.

I'm going to the dealer next week, so we'll see what happens. The tires are cupping, which for a car that had 8900 miles before I left means something was wrong with the tires from the get-go, I do remember them making noise on occasion when I've been in the car which isn't very often at all.

There's a bunch of web sites dedicated to BMW tire noise, with everyone having the same exact problem with the run flats.

JPM. I've had him do a lot of my interior work, almost all of it, but this steering wheel seems to be issue. I have spoken with him today, and should have it finished today or Monday. It should be pretty cool once it's done, it certainly won't look stock

I hate it when you see something on ebay and it's such an amazing deal on something that you really really really really want. There's only one day left and only one bid. So you get home from work to bid on it, and it's jumped $50 from before. After you make your bid, a few hours left and you get out bid again, making the price jump nearly $100.

Well, it's no longer an amazing deal, but still a good one. And the price of the item is expensive enough to hope that I loose, but the items themselves are things that I really really really really want. And the price of everything in the package is horribly expensive.

I hope I win and I hope I loose at the same time.

How does that work?!
