    EP600 vs EP500

    I have noticed that both the Bridgstone Ecopia EP600 and the EP500 are offered for the 19" wheel. I currently have the EP600 all season that came on the car but was wondering is the EP500 would offer any real difference in performance over the EP600? Has anyone tried both tires yet?

    Any tips instructions on removing pillar covers & headliner?

    There is nothing legally anyone can do about reverse engineering. The only thing that can be done is sue if someone else uses the info to violate a patent and then they can only go after the patent violator, not the reverse engineering company.

    Huge differential between website Lease offer and Dealer

    Your dealer is lying, end of story. He knows you are a "loyal customer" but the only extra charge that you should have to pay above and beyond what anyone in mainland US is paying is a transport fee to get it to your island.

    Anyone had to replace any plastic body panels yet?

    The cold room

    Anyone had to replace any plastic body panels yet?

    The list prices for the panels look to be comparable (or less) to other BMW cars, painting should be the similar, but where you will see the big difference is in installation. Since none of them are welded replacing them is almost simple.
