I just (three days ago) took delivery on a 2008 328xi coupe built in early December, 2007.It came with Continental ProContact 17" tires. This is my first BMW, having had Audi A4s previously. I was pleased that I did not get Bridgestone Turanzas. Any road bumps are certainly harsh. As to the performance of the tires, I find the straight line tracking to be less sure ... Read More...

Another RFT Story

I have a 2006 325xi and the sound from the tires is awful. I took the car to my dealership back in December 2006 at 14k miles and they told me that BMW was working w/ the tire manufacturer to solve the problem and that they should have something after the first of the year and that they would call me. I didn't hear from them. I took the car in for its first scheduled servicing ... Read More...

My Story: Run-Flat Tire Problems

I hope nobody takes this the wrong way, but I'm glad to see I'm not the only one suffering with these lousy run-flat tires. Here's my story: I took delivery of my 2007 328XI in late January 2007. It is equipped with the Sport package. The stock tires were 17" Bridgestone Potenza run-flats, 225 front 255 rear. I drove the car for a couple of days and then switched to my ... Read More...

BMW 3-Series Prices Paid and Buying Experience

$x over invoice..

Written by: scottc3 on Dec 29, 2007 05:27 PM

OK, seems we have all the data for 'over invoice' price we should pay. But, my question is; what is the invoice price we are all comparing to? I recently bought a new Toyota Prius - wanted the gas mileage (50 miles per gal) - and I have a 1990 BMW 535i which is still in great shape. In that 'buying experience', there was always a question of the actual invoice price. My ... Read More...

What I find infuriating is that BMW is not owning up to this issue. I mean at least TELL US what our options are. I shouldn't had to dig into the bowels of the internet to discover the Bridgeston Potenza on my 2007 328i (17K miles assumed thru a lease assumption) are garbage. This car has the worst handling EVER. I feel like I'm slip, sliding all over the road. Peter Pan ... Read More...
