Wife just took delivery of a flawless 2000 Q45 Standard in London Grey with Blak interior. Perfect maintenance history by previous fussy MD. Tires are S rated tossers.

$200+ order from Joe for parts.

New tires from TR, once decided.

Life is good.

Hey, how about you hook a brotha up with a job? I'll send you my resume.

Sounds like Brian is our first "3Q" member (several have 2).

Not really as The 2000 Q45 is my wife's, and my mom drives the Texas one as much or more than I do.

Was at a party last night with a friend with his 2002 Premium Q45. Might have to get a picture of all three together at some time.__________________Brian1995 Q45 & Q45t

Im gradually falling for the 97-01 Q. Maybe I should get one. The other day was a moment of magic. I was on I-270 going south and along my left came a silver 2002+ Q45, and to my right was a white 99-01 Q45. And of course my 92 was in the middle.

*wipes tear*

I love this town!

its hard to decide whether to get a 95-96 and have the extra HP, extra miles or get a 97-01 and get lower power, lower miles

[maxnix]

Go for the car that is in the best condition. That is always the best decision. That is why we went to a 2000 Q45, and the fact it had a factory warranty remaining.

The performance in real world traffic is not much different from a G50. It can still be sneaky quick and very quiet. Funny how many people stare at this dated design, even German luxury car owners. It's not a me too body style.

SWEET!!! I have yet to see that color on the road. Keep us posted on the tires you get, whenever, and your impressions. I'll be ready in a month or two and am leaning torwards the Kuhmo Ecstas in 225/55/16. Z rated, reasonably priced and not much rain down here. The previous Kumho model came w/ the car and they have held up suprisingly well and I can live with the performance / sound levels...Will update....

The 225/55-16 are on the edge of minimum load capacity, while the 225/60-16 are a little tall but higher load capacity.

I think she will go with the SZ50 EP in 245/50x16, with the Pirelli Zero Nero in the same size a close second (thanks Q45tech).

Kumhos seem to be noisy and short-lived in meeting as new performance.__________________Brian1995 Q45 & Q45t
