New M3 owners, check your tire pressure

Just a small tip for anyone that has just taken delivery. Check your tire pressure.

My car has been in storage since I took delivery in December however this weekend the weather was nice enough for me to take it out. When I checked the pressure it was set to 50psi cold!!!

So never trust your local dealer or VPC that they properly adjusted the pressure.

I had the EXACT same thing happen to me! The car felt twitchy so I checked the pressure and it was at 50.
