Why?  You aren't happy with the Trumpet?

Of course I'm happy with the Trumpet, I just figure that in two to three years I'll be ready to try something different while I'm still able...variety is the spice of life ya know...

That article is a bit sugar coated if you ask me. The standard trans 540i is a bit rare and quite a fine car but it takes a bit more maintenance to keep it up than the six cylinder E39's. Consider that the newest E39 is still 12 years old at this time. I can get into more later. Off to work now.

Q3s arrived this afternoon...

How soon are they going on?

I'm going to try for sometime next week, but may not be able to because of the holiday...I've got autocross on the 4th so there's really no rush, though I won't be riding on wet roads with the SuperCorsas in the meantime as the front is almost like a slick...

I guess by the time I get back you'll have a pretty good idea about how you like them.

Won't have them on the bike until tomorrow...

Had the Q3s mounted up at SS this morning.  Initial impressions on the short ride home...bike tips in more readily than with the SPs.  This could be the new tires, or the result of slightly squared stockers, or about 5 psi of air more from the shop than I usually run, or a combination of all three...we shall see...
