Tyres from a BMW dealer... at good prices?!?!?!
Discussion
Just got the shock of my life when a stealer offered tyres at a competitive rate!
Not only that but when I got the price to import from Germany where I normally buy my tyres, he dropped his price by about £50 per tyre and matched the import price... including fitting & VAT!
And they're not standard fit for M5's either - I'm switching to Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's as opposed to the BMW Conti's fitted as standard.

Which means, like most stealers (BMW or other) he was taking the pee with his original price.
Not really because I buy them in Germany at a price that most tyre companies can't get. My local outfit couldn't buy Goodyear F1's (on the Evo) from his ditributors for the same price I was getting them...

Let me know how you think the 2 tyres compare.

The Conti BMW standard fits were well down in the survey...
