Re: My Pre-owned BMW 530d (G30) | Ownership Review

@NerdyMillenial, the bug has bitten me too and i might be part of the club in a few weeks.

Have located a couple of cars but not sure of the price being asked. would you be willing to DM me the price you had paid so that i get some kind of a reference point.

Dunlop seems to be the most popular amongst G30 530ds but if the grip levels aren't satisfactory, may I know how easy to find and how expensive a set of PS5s are?
The Dunlops on the rear of my car were from 2019 so while not completely aged, they were beyond half life and as such I cannot comment about the performance till that point.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say that the grip levels on the Dunlops were unsatisfactory since even the PS5 cause the traction control to kick in every now and then because of the kind of torque the car puts down but it happens at a noticeably higher rate of accelatation than it did with the Dunlops.

Sourcing the PS5 was rather interesting. A close contact of a friend of mine who is a dealer was able to find these in stock somewhere in Karnataka or Kerala and I jumped on the deal as soon as I found out and they shipped the same to Pune after some advance payment for confirmation. Lets just say these set me back as much as one of the higher models of the Samsung S24 Ultra .

Unable to send you a DM because of your current membership level. Have sent you an email instead.
