How are you guys protecting the underside of the front bumper?

I've already scratched it once going into a parking lot. The entrance wasn't even that steep.

Drive carefully. Approach at an angle when needed.

I'm back to stock size tires 245/35/19 in front and it scrapes less than the 30 series I had previously.

Just be glad you don't have a M Performance lip. I don't know how you can drive the car with that thing on. I would scrap it all the time.

As much as I like the look of it, at the end of the day, I'm more concerned with how I feel once inside the car, more so than how I feel outside of it... so I wouldn't put my money on it. I'm not even that old, but I'm over the whole driving 2 mph, angled over anything that isn't circuit track flat. Pain in the ass...

Remind yourself it's just a car. Especially if this is your daily driver. It's going to acquire a bit of character.

My wife is an excellent driver. She never has oops a car.

She does drive the M235i once in a while.

Most women are fairly safe drivers but never get crazy so dont know how to handle the car in anything but normal situations. My wife doesn't understand what's going on at all. Shifting gears confuses her even in my X5 in sport on the auto.

Thread should be renamed to women can't drive

I'm joking....

Scraped mine twice so far, pretty bad on left side. Scars only on bottom of air dam so not visible but still driving me crazy

I scooped up a lamp on 77n last weekend that a truck ran over and spit into my lane..couldn't miss it and it put some doozie gouged in my lower lip. I drug it till the next available off ramp so it could be pulled out
