Any fellow G30 owners living in GTA (Toronto, Canada)?

Hello everyone. I live in Oakville, a suburb of Toronto, Canada. I have a 2023 M550i. Just wondering if there any fellow G30 owners around here?

I’m in GTA. I just traded in my 2019 M550i or 2022 M340i. Anecdotal but M550i’s are few and far between in these parts.

I’m in Toronto too. 2017 540i.
The past year alone, I had 3 tire blow outs in the horrible streets of GTA.
In Oakville you guys got much better roads I gotta say.

I absolutely love it. I was very reluctant to let go of the 550 but I absolutely love my M340. I had a 2017 340 previous to the 550 and wasn’t a huge fan of the stiff ride on it but the 22 M340 rides really nice, not as soft as the 550 but leaps and bounds above my older 340.

Also feel like I can throw the M340 around a lot easier than the big beast 550.

Long story short. I absolutely love it!

Great to hear about your new ride and how happy you are with it. Congrats! Maybe will run into each other on the 401 or QEW.

Also in the GTA, York Region.
Went from an e92 m3 and f10 535 to g30 m550.
So far the 416 fxcked up tire count is up to 4. Toronto infrastructure sucks.

Gotta go nonRFT!
I did 7 series tire size with 5% more side wall and it’s been great the past few months. Let’s see if I can go a year without tire blowouts!!

Live in Etobicoke and work in Mississauga. Picked up a nice used 530e back in January and love everything about it. I agree with above, upsizing the tires one sidewall bump on my 20" 759's was a great move.

Hello everyone,
I have 2018 m550 for couple of years now - leave in Woodbridge.
Recently got some more modifications on the engine - catted downpipes and stage 2 from YD.
Before that for performance i was using Dinantronics X - have it for sale now for $400 can, easy to install end remove.
Gives you 48HP extra, good for N63TU2

Reviveing this thread. Any GTA owners still around lol?

I got my g30 a few months back ('17 540i). Completely stock right now, but looking to connect to share some mod ideas, source parts (locally), share build specs/pictures, etc.

I haven't noticed many g30s driving around. In fact, i haven't even seen an LCI model in person!

North of you in Barrie. 2018 540i xDrive. The G30 numbers around here are pretty low, I've seen maybe 2 or 3 others.
