Unfortunately a bad guy eventually smashed the passenger front window. IMHO, a crime worse than any secret alien abduction ;-)
That's the main reason the PHG costs an extra 500 bucks! The Pilots retail for about $200.00 each, and would never be the standard tire on a 118MPH governed car.
The dealer did a search and said they are available, Is there a way I can find their search page ?
I plan on buying one this week but want to test a PG first.
If anyone knows of one in a dealer in western KY, TN, southern IN or I or DE Missouri please let me know.
Thanks,
Kelvin
As for the others, just put the best people in the positions reguardless of where they are from.

Zaino on order. Pictures soon.
Denverm is correct as to content (post 3455).
Funroads got a great deal, a great tire upgrade, but the poor slob that bought the other car now has a [non-permissible content removed] package that could be unsafe.
Was the dealer a 5*? If so, we should blow him in to Chrysler!
My M (Shiny wheels, big roof hole and boombox stereo) continues to be a faithful servant with none of the issues reported on this board. Platinum is a great color when the sun is shining on it, the metallic flakes sparkle. I did see $2.00/gallon gas in CT. It was for premium, however. I'm paying $1.64 for 87 octane. Next month is a biggie: the M will turn 24,000 miles (2/3 way through warranty) and I'll own 2/3 of the car (36 months at 0%!).
Still diggin' this fine ride! Great car...
'21 Dark Blue/Black Audi A7 PHEV (mine); '22 White/Beige BMW X3 (hers); '20 Estoril Blue/Oyster BMW M240xi 'Vert (Ours, read: hers in 'vert weather; mine during Nor'easters...)

(While I agree that the ride is much better than it gets credit for, I would never compare the Grand Voyager with the M in handling and ride.)
Enough said.
I haven't been able to verify, but my assumption is that the original lessor of this car swapped the 16" wheels and Michelins for the chromed 17" wheels with Goodyears.
The car had 11K miles when I bought it in October, it now has 25K and the Goodyears are holding up well. I've had none of the tire problems I've read about (knock on wood!) and I've been pleased with the way the Goodyears handle. If this car will handle better with Michelins or anything else, then the handling will be really phenomenal!
I am aware that these tires are not rated for speeds over 118 or so, but I've never approached that speed and I don't expect to. I will replace them with higher speed rated tires when they wear out, not so that I can drive faster, but mainly to see if the M is capable of even better than the truly excellent handling I'm enjoying now.

Take a look at this! It can be done! LOL....

I still wonder how it would do in the corners!

"I still wonder how it would do in the corners!"
Just add some HD shocks, a sway bar and some Michelin V(?) rated tires and it would do fine! LOL...

I decided against the PHG.
Couldn't find a PGH to try so I went with the smoother ride.
I already have a car that corners on rails. A 911S with 345/35 ZR 15's on the back.
Got an Inferno Red with luxury group, chrome wheels, sun roof, side air bags, 4 CD / 11 speakers and the smokers group.
It will be in tomorrow, can't pick it up untill Wednsday.

YOU got the one I REALLY wanted but couldn't find! (all except the smoker's group).
I got the silver/agate, with all the goodies except the performance package, engine/
battery heater and smoker's group. I don't get it until next week (transfer funds), but I'm
getting excited. That inferno red is soooo sharp! Good luck man. You got a beautiful
car! But tell me (and I am sorry, I can't help myself, I have to ask), what did you pay for it?
I saw a few older posting regarding after market spoilers. I checked www.mopar.com
and they list a factory spoiler too (MSRP: $250.00 - I think). Any of you buy one? Install it?
It comes per-painted and I don't think it will be that hard to install. But I was wondering
if it improves the rear view visibility. During my test drives, I found my judgment is super
poor when backing up.... sorry but I'm an old, fat, short, bald guy with glasses the proverbial thickness
of coke bottles...(see, I told you I was old... used to drink Coke from REAL
green-tinted glass bottles - cost me 6 cents! and it included the deposit)!

Big Red's Spoiler Installation
Also, here is a pic of the final results:
Looks great in silver too.
Didn't need the ashtray/lighter either but it was the colsest 300M that had the 5 options that I wanted. I haven't seen it yet - Can't wait till Wednsday.
Good job on the spoiler mike---how many more hp do you get with it--must greatly improve your 1/4 mile times--no more loss of traction when going 150mph :-)

I think that's the extent of my mods. I don't think I'm going to dig around in the engine and mess with the throttle body, put in side marker lights, or lower the car. I've done the clock face, dual exhaust, spoiler, license plate bracket and hood cover. methinks I'm done.
Mike
I've had people ask me if my car was a Lexus. And others have asked if it was a Mercedes.. And I still have the emblems on it.
hey avalanche--you've got only 88 days to complete your mods---the Woodward Cruise is August 17th!
WOW!!!! Looks fantastic! Chrysler should have put the duals on from day one! That Zaino is looking GOOD!

No problem posting prices here. If anything is ever posted that the hosts don't allow, they'll delete it and send you an e-mail.
fastdriver
I can appreciate what drilling into your deck lid must have been like. I had a similar feeling just cutting my bumper skin, and that was only plastic! It was kinda like "Oh hell, here goes nothin'".
Avalanche - the company I bought the spoiler from sells a lighted version, I believe.
-Mike
But help me here about improved visibility...Thanks.
I carry customers to lunch in my M so I kept it pretty conservative (bright silver/slate, painted wheels). Still get lots of compliments.
Regards, Silver
Spyboy - Sorry I didn't answer you last night, but this morning was the first time I drove it with the spoiler. I can see about 2 inches of the spoiler in my rear view mirror. It gives me a very good idea where the back of the car is (even though the bumber sticks out about 6 inches from the spoiler) and it doesn't block my view at all. Let me know if you want me to take a picture of what it looks like in the rear view mirror and through the back window.
Easy..did you take your badges off the back? I think I'll doctor up a photo to see what it might look like (grin)
