Yes, I would think so.
Mismatching tyres?

Yes, I would think so.
No I don't, unfortunately I sometimes go against the grain and say what I mean and mean what I say.
I haven't actually said anything nasty to him. In fact:

Do you think I hope that for my or for his benefit?
If I do, it's probably in the same way you climb up his backside every ten minutes.
He's a big boy, and perfectly able of having a discussion with me on his own without you getting upset on his behalf.
Are you mates with him IRL or something?
I don't know about that, it can be a bit tricky when you don't reply to my question
I don't think I've even met him a meet.
Haven't encountered any aquaplaning with the Falkens either
Would have to drive your car to do that surely?
I am of the opinion that as long as they are good tyres on the same axle it will be fine. Different tyres on each side is obviously a no no, but what you are suggesting will not be a problem!
I don't crawl up his arse, in fact you'll find we disagree on quite a few subjects but we're able to communicate like adults.
And no, I don't know him IRL, only on here. I might defend him sometimes because of the amount of **** trolling against him there is in motors, with certain posters including yourself always trying to prove something when there is nothing there. Give it a rest, it's childish and it's very very dull for others.

Sorry I missed that. I basically heard from more than one person that you didn't want anyone to know about the situation regarding the 335 because of "all the stick you'd get".
Which is absolutely fair enough, except its the sort of situation you'd usually probe to your hearts content if it were someone else

Amusing then, as even before this thread I'd associate the name Wicksta, with someone who has repeatedly "had your back" on more than one occasion.
As I alluded to in my last post, I genuinely hope you find what you are looking for, but it would have been against everything I believe in, to let you off the hook without calling you out on it
I don't understand. My Car is averaging 15k miles per year.

Do me a favour pal, he attracts that sort of attention for a reason, and has become perfectly apt at defending himself over the years and hardly needs you acting as his white knight.
I wish no ill towards him at all (except maybe for when he said he'd buy me a beer and then never came through
)- just believe in karma, thats all.If you don't like it, add me to the ignore list. I'm not going anywhere and I won't alter my posting style unless it falls foul of the mods.
I don't need to add anyone to my ignore list, but don't you think it's ironic you don't want me to jump on your replies though when you are doing it to Fox all the time. As far as I know pointing out your obsession with him and you taking threads off topic isn't against any rules either.
Anyway, well done - you've done it again.

I don't understand either. My car has is averaging 5k miles per year.
Not at all. I couldn't be bothered with a dedicated thread for that reason - it would turn into a massive attention-whore style 10 page epic of the type we berate MikeH for - but as you can quite clearly see I've no issues with discussing it when asked.
If I'd have wanted to keep the fact I was unhappy with the 335i a secret I'd have done a tad better job with it - it was fairly obvious from Week 1, I made no secret of the fact I wasn't wild about it.
It's pretty simple - convinced myself I wanted a new car for the wrong reasons, bought the right car for the wrong criteria and purpose as a result, now I've realised it just isn't going to provide me with the same sort of 5 years of utopia the previous one, so I'm moving it on. Was it a crap decision? In hindsight, absolutely.
It's a fantastic car, a truely brilliantly capable car infact, but it answers a bunch of questions that really didn't need answering I guess. Quite why I got it into my head that driving around in a 9 year old car you loved was wrong simply because 'its old and obviously its time for a new one' I'll never know - but there we go. I guess the moral is that just because you *can* do something doesnt mean you should.
Which is absolutely fair enough, except its the sort of situation you'd usually probe to your hearts content if it were someone else
And as a result I've answered the questions people have asked

Not really bothered about whether you "jump on my replies" cupcake, it's your time.
I didn't bring his car situation up, someone else did and I commented on it. Not before I'd responded on topic I might add. I'm sure you'll be contributing your thoughts on topic in due course as otherwise that would make you a rather large hypocrite.
Regarding OT chatter, you are right and I'll sack it off now.

Again, it's not what I had heard but I'm not going to argue that you haven't graciously answered anything thrown against against you to your credit.
I don't regret calling you out on it though
In a shred of an attempt to get this back on topic, I take it you haven't ever driven the E39 with any differing tyres?
I can't comment specifically on the effect it would have on a RWD car particularly being specific to the marque, but on mine I have AD08's up front and the slower wearing 452's still on the rear. Day to day, it's barely noticeable, except for the razor sharp turn in the AD08's afford but I wouldn't say it affects the balance wholely.
On the limit on the other hand, the crapper rears will tends to push more oversteer, but again, not to the point where i'd consider it to be even a slight problem.
Now I know mine is AWD, but on the BMW's does it really totally upset the balance or is this likely to be an overreaction? Particularly where relatively similar tyres are involved?
I don't regret calling you out on it though
No, I doubt you would
Only sort of - I ran with Eagle F1 Assymetric on the back and Eagle F1 GS-D3 on the front.
I don't know - the reason I queried this and wondered what other peoples thoughts were is that I have seen the odd thread complaining of completely out of sorts handling on E46's which ended up being down to mismatched tyres, usually where one axle had Pilot Sports on it.
I wondered if this was perhaps more common...
I certainly don't. I've been suspended for the language i've used with him before.
And even i can see that Fox is doomed here if he does, doomed if he doesn't.
If makes a thread announcing it, he's being an attention whore. If he doesn't tell anyone, and lets others drop it into conversation that he's selling, then he's avoiding the issue.
He can't win.
