Just some parting words as my lease is up on the V50 next Wednesday. Last minute life change made the V50 the wrong car for me otherwise I'd keep it. Wicked car. Thanks for all the advice and entertainment this forum brought me. Was good while it lasted.

Sick cars but high cost of ownership
Absolutely. That's why it's great that despite being an '06 it has the balance of the free maintenance/warranty remaining...what with only 27,800km on it!!!
It also helps when your cousin is a BMW tech at your local dealer.
Purely as a matter of principle, if you leased the car with the Sagitta's on then your dealership should take them back with them on, especially, if you bought the Medusa's separately.
I can only imagine that the 18" cost more then the stock 17", so it wouldn't be right for you to just hand them over to them like that. It's sad to say but the dealership might be pulling a fast one on you.
You might also want to re-read the lease agreement, to see if they are allowed to refuse winter tires instead of summer or all seasons.
I might be wrong, but that's just my opinion. And you can consider it an unbiased opinion, because I have no interest in getting 18", nor would they fit on my S60.
Yeah, good point. Even if you had to throw cheap all seasons on the sagitta's, you could sell the medusa with tires and come out on top. If you have decent tread on the medusas, you could probably get $800 easily in the classifieds. The more I think about your situation, the more I agree with raffneck. Dealer is getting a huge bonus here.
Getting some all seasons fitted to the Sagitta's this afternoon so the Medusa's with General Exclaim UHP's (225/40R18) with at least 1.5 seasons left will go up for sale soon. By the way amazing tire for the money. If you don't buy these, go get new ones. :thumbsup
Winter tires coming off the Sagitta's are Hankook IceBear W300 with tons of tread left. Up for sale soon.
Also, my Heico grille with satin silver trim (discontinued but still gorgeous and my favourite colour) will be up for sale soon.
Ran out of time to pull the Evolve springs off but I still have the original sport pkg springs if there is any interest there :.dunno
that seems about right. mine has the sport package and next to an S40 or V50 it looks about an inch lower.
