Your car looks great! IMO, will look even better a little lower.

Another issue is that my insurance company does not allow suspension mods but I am getting a very good rate from them.

Guess I will need to shop around if I decide to go this route.

I've never heard that before? ^^^

did they specifically mention about the suspension.

seems like an odd thing if they brought it up.

TD is known for being very strict on mods. I called to inquire about insurance on modification and she basically said that they will accept mods only if the OEM parts failed the safety test, and the replacement parts need to be installed by the dealer.

josec70 · 07-10-2018, 02:59 PM

So if you have and accident and your suspension is modded they will not cover anything? Or they will not cover a new suspension?

Although I've never inquired w/ my insurance company, this seems very strict.

I assume they're OK with non-OEM wheels?

They may decline the entire claim and return only the premiums paid if the car is modded and you did not disclose the modification to them.

For the wheels it should be okay. I specifically asked the agent that I will be using the OEM wheels for winter and buy another set for Summer. I actually receive winter tire discount for this.

Things may be different down the states but from my understanding Canadian insurance company are more strict on modded cars.

These wheels look awesome! Very nice

NYBulldog · 07-10-2018, 04:13 PM

That looks incredible.

Wow, that's nuts.

My Vehicle -> Vehicle Status -> Tire Pressure Monitor -> Tire Settings -> Summer Tires -> Current -> Special Authorization -> Other Tire -> Maximum Continuous Speed -> Confirm

Drive around over 20mph while the system resets.

I tried to reset however it stuck at 37%. Any idea?

I am going to increase to 32-35 psi cold and try again.

Use these cold pressures:

Front: 41psi (2.8bar) (MPS4S 275/30ZR21 98Y)
Rear: 39psi (2.7bar) (MPS4S 295/30ZR21 102Y)

Those fronts are significantly under the appropriate load rating so it's likely having a hard time calculating the the front axle. The pressure needs to come up a lot in the front and a little in the rear just to get to the necessary axle light load pressures. Tire Monitoring System also compensates for temperature so if it's more than 20°C Ambient, will take a little longer and then call for additional air.

Now the system stuck at 49% instead of 37%. The tire shop is asking TPMS company for an update.

How long are you giving it? Takes 17 minutes of steady driving above 20km/h. Might also have to select max continuous speed <160km/h since those front tires only have a 98Y rating. 3.0bar is max with the camber and may be compressed too far for the system to do a valid reset.

It stuck at 49% for around 5 minutes and then the malfunction error pops up. I don't see the max speed option under tire pressure.

I will try to take some close pic when I wash it this weekend.

Please, if you can say the offset of the wheels, I would be grateful you.

I tried to get them to disclose the offset but no luck. I was told by my local shop that forged companies typically keep it secret for custom forged wheels until later when they come out with flow form wheels. I can measure the offset when I change to winter, but that will be sometimes in November.

Would you mind I ask you how much they cost? They look great!

The more and more I look at the new M5... the more boring it becomes in fact disapointing.. great interior, power, peformance but the look is just no there for me

PARTS@STBMW · 07-13-2018, 02:08 PM

These are so clean with your F90, well done!
