I called Michel to find out how expensive a cam would be. He said that he had a replacement camshaft nut that included the distributor drive. That and other parts that I bought from him saved me $$$. I miss the Margofests, the wise parts advice, and the good deals. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2008 11:20:50 -0800 (PST) From: Carlos Lopez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: Substitute for Gummi pflege? Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gruppe, After returning from vacation I find I'm in need of this stuff. My tube of gummi pflege is MIA and I was wondering if there was a substitute that may be readily available in parts stores. I know it won't be as good but I have to do something about these frozen doors, poor E39 had about 10 inches of snow and ice piled up on it after two weeks. :-/ Thanks, Carlos 98 M3 stored 97 540i/6 daily beater, outdoors all the time ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?

IMO that makes it doubly lame, but whatever. At least the R-class has some people-moving pretensions (there are lots in my 'hood as well). Maybe the X6 is supposed to be the Country Club ride, though I'm not sure 4 golf bags would fit in the back of that thing. >Ton of MB R-series in my burbs.

The MB Rwhatever looks like a reasonable alternative, in 15 years when used examples come into my price range. So our family hauler is a Eurovan. But in fifteen years I won't need a family hauler any more, and the Mrs. and I will be empty-nesting in an M Coupe or a Kxx00LT. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Jan 2008 17:04:50 -0500 From: Vic Maslanka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: <X6> New Model Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It's not a direct response to the Mercedes R. BMW had another vehicle to compete with the R (more of a luxury people mover), but reportedly dropped it. The press claims the R is not doing well worldwide. It's a do everything vehicle, kind of like an all-season tire. Part "go-anywhere", part coupe, part luxury vehicle. Maybe it's a luxury Subaru. Or, maybe with its hatchback, it's a expensive (starting at about $60,000) replacement for the 318ti. Vic At 02:32 PM 1/4/2008, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >What's the point of the X6?
