I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. There were no vibrations or any issues I could tell when driving. They also left the adhesive on from the old weights which I couldn’t get off with goo gone. I’ll have to get some plastic razor blades. 
even more, the diller used silver weights while all the other wheels have black. First world problem. 
I'm confused. Doesn't ordinary tire mounting require balancing on almost every wheel?Gberg2119 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 13, 2024 9:06 pm Took my winter ramz down to get them cleaned up before I swap in a few weeks.

Some balance machines will tell the tech exactly where to place the weight on the wheel, not only on the side, but within the actual barrel.Gberg2119 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 13, 2024 9:06 pm Took my winter ramz down to get them cleaned up before I swap in a few weeks.

I'll let you know where BMW put the weights on my giant EV wheels in a bit (they are taller than my tacoma tires)

Yea I’d say it’s really dealer dependent… I visited 3 dealers with my TDI. And they have been “ok”. But I can’t say any of my 3 bmw dealer visits were any better… hit and miss for the most part …
once, to test drive an S2000. Owned a BMW twice, fixed it in my yard like a poor. That thing was actually very well designed/easy to wrench on, if you're willing to by some torx bitz.max225 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2024 2:35 pmWell there has been an OCD level here since day 1.

I love this shit, some of the best content on the forum. And frankly, no one else here has the

The one I bought it from which isn't even M certified or another one that is and has a whole performance group associated with it. They do pretty much everything including t00ns. When I picked up my paint stick from them they had a whole display of HRE ramz in the service department.

The clear plastic would probably be good but I'm thinking just a bunch of towels around the base since I can't use a seat protector. There is no issue with having a
in the car in the first 13 months so far. If you're an able adult you'll properly mount the diapers and have no "blow outs" and you don't give them any food/drinks unsupervised so there is 0 mess. The only "real" issue is that you seat MAY become dented if you perma mount a seat.
