I went to a BJ's today (never been in one before), and joined. So much nicer than Costco, which is always a zoo. And as you said, I found the microfibre towels for about 18 bucks. What a deal. And I got 10 bucks off just for joining. I'll never go back to Costco again. Thanks for the help!

I find that BJ's offers smaller portions of food product's that makes it more desirable than Costco. The Costco in Long Island City is a zoo and not worth the hassle. I do buy some electronics form Costco on line.

Glad I could help and sorry for the high jack.

L we all can't wait to see photo's of you in your new X6!

You just redeemed your soul. How did this turn into a microfibre towel thread?

It's almost show time. Did the insurance thing today. My tenant at work is going to buy my E70 when I turn it in so she'll have a good home.

WOW - so your E70 is going to see you rolling with a newer/younger model? Hope there is no jealousy there

tick-tock!!

On the E90s with 16" bridgestone runflats after 10k miles they'd sound like big mud tires due to the excessively choppy wear on the inner edge... we ended up replacing many of them with continental contipro contact rfts and those seemed to last longer and ride smoother/quieter overall, and are cheaper. Continentals are moving up in the world, getting much better with the newer tires.

I feel sorry for anyone that searches Michelin vs Bridgestone runflats and comes across this thread.

My threads are supposed to be useless.

I have heard similar stories from many other drivers (not just BMW drivers) who have had wear problems with Bridgestone rft's. According to the "experts", the third generation Bridgestone rft's will not have such problems. We'll see. My recently retired Mercedes E Class had Conti non-rft's, and they handled well and rode very comfortably, which is something I did not expect since Conti used to be known for making square tires. But in the end, I have to agree with you and others in this forum that Michelin does make the best quality tires in the industry. I will start a new thread about my experience with the Michelins that came on my 2010 X6 as the miles go by.

No experience with the RFT version of any of the above, but I wouldn't bat an
eye over B'Stone tires in general; have had very good service from them. The
Ford situ was cheap azz version of brand name tires and underinflation...

Those good ole boys won't take kindly to a New Yorker with a vowel and the end of her name tearing up their roadway in a shiny new BMW. I don't think my get out of jail free cards will work down there.

I already set up Phil to wax and seal her up when I get back.
