Yeah, Im getting my tire sets through Simply. Their prices during the groupbuys are about $50 cheaper then 23. Not a huge amount though.
That being said, 23 sell the WT mats for $150 cash tax/freight all-in.

There she is, wrapped in Michelin PSS ready for winter. No heated steering, Wayne, but the 328i next to it does.

So you would need to get out of the car to activate it? If so PITA!!! ....  so you want to trap yourself in your parking spot????
How? Are you that stupid to activate remotely while in the spot???

Basically you're bitching about the scenario of coming home and finding your neighbour's car is at ground level and so you'd have to get out, press the button then he can park his car on the bottom part of the lift?
I'd consider this no different than coming home and finding a car blocking your driveway and you'd have to go inside, get the keys, move it out of the way so you can put your car into the garage.
Not ideal, but this beats circling down several floors to get to your spot.
