Bridgestone's "Pole Position" vs. non-PP?

I'm interested in RE050A and they seem to come in two flavers. I tried google but didn't see any helpful pages. Bridgestone's web site was clear as mud. What are the (any) differences between non-PP...

hmmm... that's odd??

I was rotating the tires past weekend. due to the advanced age of my brain I forgot to lock the rear axels with the parking brake.

the bhp rating for current 335i was almost spot on...

that's about 300bhp and 290ft-lb at the wheels, which is amazing. from that observation, the 335i's power &amp; torque rating is definitely understated. I wouldn't be surprised if M3 is closer to the...

I've considered getting the 2.8, 2.0T, or 1.9TDI badge

like he said, you have to drop the swaybar

as for getting the oil filter to turn, I found those made by Vice Grip works the best as it grips with no freeplay. there's no room for filter cap type, and no free room to have the strap wrench to...
