#166 of 178 Re: Pretty pics [steve_] by gagrice Sep 17, 2007 (6:37 pm)
Replying to: steve_ (Sep 15, 2007 8:22 pm) I did my share of tent time moose and caribou hunting. Last trip was November 1976. Never got above -40 F. We were on snow machines back near Nebesna mines. It is down near the Copper River that was frozen over when we started back in 40 miles. My idea of camping now is the Holiday Inn Express with wireless Internet. No more camping vacations for me. I am spending my kids and grandkids inheritance.   I take that back. I spent one miserable night on the spit in Homer with the wind blowing and rain soaking us through and through. That was 1990 and wife #3.   There are a lot of places off road I would like to see. The ground clearance of an SUV makes them the ideal choice. I like both the GL and ML. The R320 CDI is a bit too goofy looking for us.
#167 of 178 after market side steps. by dkim1 Jan 25, 2008 (4:57 am)
Has anybody had the GL 450 side steps or running boards installed with the non-OEM parts and if so could you share your experience? The dealer is charging about $1700 for the side steps and installations. The independent shops using the non-OEM are charging as little as $400 for the entire purchase and the installations.

Replying to: dkim1 (Jan 25, 2008 4:57 am) I got a nerf bar (couldn't find a cheap side step) for $150 + $50 SH. It took me 1:30 to install them. If you are handy, it should only take 45 min to 1 Hr. I really like the OEM side step but too expensive. The non oem nerf bar was easy to install and looks great. Replies to this message: howlys (May 14, 2008 11:11 am)

Does anyone have any experience with the 19-inch tires? Do they degrade ride quality? Replies to this message: bmwconvert (Feb 08, 2008 12:55 pm)

Replying to: jgo03 (Feb 01, 2008 8:31 pm) If you're referring to the tires that came with the P2 package, I have them on my '08 (I believe they're Continental ContiTrac or something). The ride is fantastic. I also had continentals on my BMW 5 series and was very happy with them (they lasted over 50,000 miles to boot).

Replying to: joekim01 (Jan 29, 2008 10:53 pm) Hi Joe. Could you please share with me where you got the nerf bars and maybe even post a photo of them. I would really appreciate it and I'm pretty sure there are others who would as well. Thanks.
#173 of 178 GL450 height (with and without roof rails) by fgbl Feb 16, 2009 (11:03 am)
Hi. I cannot understand whether GL450 height 72.4in is with and without roof rails. This might sound strange.... but...my garage door opener is protruding in the middle obviously.   Thus the question: what is gl450 height without the roof rails?
#174 of 178 2007 GL450 - noises when parked or at a stop light by soccermom4652 May 21, 2009 (12:23 pm)
Ok - I might be asking a dumb question but I would rather know for sure than do damage to my beautiful car. When I am parked or stopped at a stop light, I hear a "swooshing" sound. Is that normal? If so, what is it? Replies to this message: queequeg (May 21, 2009 12:35 pm) soccermom4652 (May 22, 2009 5:11 am) queequeg (May 22, 2009 6:06 am)

Replying to: soccermom4652 (May 21, 2009 12:23 pm) Might it be the automatic suspension leveling process? After I park, it “settles” a few inches most of the time. Replies to this message: soccermom4652 (May 22, 2009 5:11 am) queequeg (May 22, 2009 6:06 am)
