The car sounded horrible. It did not sound sporty at all. Those 5-10lb carpets make a huge difference in how good the engine sounds.
I thought of replacing front spare tire with Fix-a-flat spray, but idk how it effects my rim when trying to get a new tire? Has anyone used fix-a-flat? And I believe there are only 2 or 3 aftermarket rims for this car that are actually lighter than stock rims unfortunately.

All too true re taking the carpets out. Just makes the car sound rough as hell, doesn't it?
I drove round in the stripped out track-prepped BMW for three years. No spares, no gunk, just winged it.
Actually, I've never had a flat...
