Will be getting a set of these tires, any issues, advice, or opinions on these Continentals? Thanks

I hope these are much better, but I had ContiSportContact 2s on my E46 (after having Bridgestone S-03) and they kinda sucked - didn't do anything badly, but didn't do ANYTHING well. It'll be a while before I buy Conti's again.

Disclosure: currently running Bridgestone RE760 sport 18s and absolutely love them - all the good of the S-03s and little of the bad.

The 3's are amazing. They're in a different league when compared to the 2's. The 3's are more or less the German answer to the Michelin PS2.

My former neighbor had them on his M3. and they were stellar. I just bought the new Continental DW's for Summer based on his car's tires, and they're stellar as well, however they're also more comfort biased then the 3's.

If money were not an issue, I would have gotten the 3's, as they're more expensive than the DW's, and they also have a lower wear rating, but are a better tire all around for Summer IMO.
