Hello Forum, I have posted here once before and got some great information in response. I think I might have pulled a couple brain farts here and was hoping to get some opinions. I purchased my M3 about 8 months ago as a second driver, and have only put a few thousand miles on her.
First, I was recently driving and remembered that I needed to add oil (I am aware that these engines burn oil) so I purchased the oil and added it right to the engine without allowing it to cool. Now sometimes I have a hard time heating the engine to temperature (granted, I live in Colorado, but only drive it when it is nice out). Am I overthinking this, or could I have caused a problem?
The second question I have has to do with tire size. I know the typical tire size for the front is 225/45 R17 and rear is 245/40 R17. I am about to need some new tires and I was looking at mine and realized that the rear are the same size as the front. Is this typical? Do I need to used some sort of a spacer if I have a flat tire? Again, Im not sure if I am overthinking this, but any information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
