Replying to: ljflx (Jan 10, 2009 8:21 am) They perform every bit as well as the factory pads but they shed next to no dust. Before installing these, I'd clean my wheels once or twice a week. Now I get down on my knees & clean my wheels once a year - even though they aren't as dirty as they used to be after just a week with the old pads. My only regret is that I didn't buy them years earlier.

Replying to: clembo (Jan 10, 2009 4:12 am) I agree with everything with what you had posted. Except I dont think we will see great price competition in the future as we did in the past. The following may sound like a contradiction ....During hard times it's best to focus on selling higher priced goods to fewer people. Despite the contradiction that is what the luxury business is all about--EXCLUSIVITY. Cheap credit made affordable leasing progammes possible for luxury auto marques . Unlike the past exclusive luxury marques started catering to the mainstream middle classes. But now that the credit tap has been turned off this low priced INCLUSIVITY will be replaced by high priced EXCLUSIVITY. Thanks to this new period of Economic De-Leveraging the BMW 3 Series and the MB C Class will continue to be sold but at a far lower volumes and at far higher prices /lease rates than what had existed in the past. |

Replying to: ljflx (Jan 09, 2009 5:20 pm) I've never been able to get past the "Chevy Caprice" stigma of the column shifter in the old 7 and a few MB products. They can fancy it up all they want, but a column shifter is a column shifter, and has no place in anything trying to be a luxury car. I'm glad BMW abandoned that idea. As for brake dust, a bit of P21S wheel cleaner takes care of it right away. |

I hope the Scott brings you many exhilarating hours of riding pleasure. Nice communicating with you once again. Happy New Year!

Replying to: circlew (Jan 10, 2009 12:36 pm) As do I. It adds the extra bit of aggression that the S-V8 is lacking, without coming off clownish and "fast and furious" like the IS-F or recent AMGs. Should definitely give the Germans something to think about. The real question though is what will the new XJ look like?
