Grainy photos of my 1 week old 2012 X3 on Yokohama 245/40/20 S.drive with Breyton Race GTS at the car wash. Better photo's to come.

Mein Auto: 2013 Audi S4 2010 MT MCS
Wife has the exact same MCS as your pic. Had one dealer trying to talk her out of getting a stick. Before I could tell him he was an idiot she did and we walked out. Gotta love a gal that insists on MT.

Pity you cant get one in the X3 anymore. Going to be a deal breaker if I cant at least get a Dinan chip for the N55.

BTW, I had been looking at those wheels for some time but been on the fence. Thanks they look nice.

I agree - I love a girl who drives stick - unfortunately my girl (although she is willing to learn) can't drive a manual yet, so I didn't go with the stick on my MCS. But I still love it It's one my favorites.

I think we'll be able to get a DINAN tune eventually. coming from a former DINAN tuned N63 engined 550i - I miss the surge. The F25 is a sleeper - I came so close to getting an M Sport X5 - but it is essentially a "lame duck" as it will be replaced real soon. Dynamically speaking an X3 will drive circles around it...and for me the technology of the "F" cars is more desirable...I guess it's somewhat contradicting as my M3 is an "E" car but at least it has the updated iDrive etc..


Thanks on the wheels At the same time I got them installed - I happened to come across CEC and some of their offerings (AC Schnitzer included) at a local shop. I might have gone that route as well, but I like Breyton - crossing fingers as its been 12 years since my last sets (inspiration and Magic)..
