At least me!

Yes, at least me , I am not a real owner yet but waiting for delivery my
135i. It will be first not japan car I have had.
belive I will love it

russian bmw forums is not so helpfull may be I didnt find a good one.

The real problem for me is how to choose winter tires, local bmw dealers can not say me for sure what kind of rims will fit on.

oh yes, you will love it. its an awesome car. i posted a russian review a while back in the reviews section if you care to read reviews.

if you want to consider importing wheels from the us, have you had a look at the tirerack website already? talk to gill from the forum, he is very helpful.

thanks for that. you are lucky, it costs about US$85k here fully loaded on the road!!

hmm....the easiest way to save weight would probably be to get rid of the stupid run-flat tires and get lighter wheels! which ones come standard with the car there? 261m? with the roads in SPB, non runflats would probably feel a lot nicer anway!

are you going to get a tune such as AA or JB3?

Hi there from Moscow!
I'm happy 135 owner at the moment (ex-subaru owner) and
I know just a couple of other 135 there. New and very rare car on our roads. Interested in changing run-flat tires ( btw what's their weight??) with lighter wheels and better tires, especially for track days. Maybe suspension later and some carbon parts. Unfortunately there are no info on subject in Russia...

pozdravlyayu olius! and welcome to the forum. there is a ton of information here on the tire/wheel options. run-flats are heavier than even slightly wider regular tires so its well worth doing it. the difference is immediate and substantial!

which tires you go with for tracking would probably depend on whether you have one set of wheels dedicated for the track or whether you will use the same set on the road and on the track as well.

Spasibo, proffessor!
Thinking about 2 sets with
1) Advan 005 for track days on light wheels like SSR or ENKEI (I like japanese wheels!) and
2) Advan AD07 for everyday use
but actually it is better to use RFT on 18 wheels in Moscow
