Replying to: circlew (Aug 19, 2008 3:46 am) Here's a hybrid "question" instead of the other kind of hybrid (0-60 before the next millenium - by the way, how DO you turbocharge an electric car??? 220 volts? Cattle prod up the tailpipe? What do you do when there's NO tailpipe?!). It's hybrid because it bridges 2 or more forums. My dealer is offering a 2008 328xi w/Dakota leather (LC), Power Seats (459), Heated Seats (494) and iPod (6FL). Invoice is $36,200, MSRP is $39,320. He is asking $37,870. I think this is too much and I'm thinking $37K flat is reasonable. If I ask for the Bridgestone RFs to be replaced with the ContiProContacts as I have on my 335xi, and assuming he goes for it, what do you think it's worth? By the way, did this show up as xeye? If it did, I'M BAA_ACK!!!! xeye

Real tires are : 1) cheaper, 2) quieter, 3) longer-lasting & 4) conducive to better handling (lower unsprung weight mostly), plus which there are lots of choices. Carry either a spare (yeah, I know, there's really no convenient place for it, plus you need the jack & lug wrench) or a can of inflating goo. Enjoy. Those of us who need to drive hundreds of miles across relatively uninhabited territory (NV or eastern OR) would be stuck for days if we depended on RFT no-repair, replace-only policies, since no one in the hinterlands stocks these things. This is the primary reason I'm not driving a BMW 3-series today. I bought a new car back in March, and for several years I was nearly certain it was going to be one of two BMW choices. Well, it wasn't, and it won't be in the future either if this s (let's say stuff) keeps up. |

Do you guys not read the boards before you buy a $40,0000 car? Did you buy the car knowing there was a problem? Sutee - Cause it ain't no big deal. I can afford a $40,000 car, and I can afford different tires. It's not a big deal financially. The only question I asked is if I need to buy rims to go with the tires - which I can also afford. Perhaps your situation is different; otherwise I can't see any point to your post. |

Replying to: florida911 (Aug 22, 2008 12:26 pm) I went to the Michelin Primacy MXV4 and have been very happy with them (got them in April). Others on the board recommened them to me in the spring so I'm not the only one with these. Enjoy!
