Replying to: cmr530i (Jun 04, 2006 10:12 pm) The dealer -- the OWNER of the dealership -- seems to be a big advocate, personally, of the brake dust shields. He claims that the shields have been designed to allow the cooling effects that used to be restricted by older technology brake dust shields. He claims his Kleen Wheels are specific to the BMW you order, bla bla bla. In any case, despite some criticism here and elsewhere, we have enjoyed clean wheels for 13 months on my wife's X3 with the sport package (very nice 5 spoke wheels) -- otherwise these wheels would be clean for about an hour or two a week. Conversely my 2005 Audi A6 needs what seems like constant attention to keep the wheels free of dust.

I saw a new (used) E39 in the parking lot today at work.. It reminded me of you... had Style 42 17" wheels... very clean..  Weird, though.... The model designation was 525.. no i on the end of it..Did they ever make an E39 with that designation? Plus, the front bumper reminded me of what you would find on the front of an E46 coupe... sort of open below, sporty, etc.. It got me thinking... maybe it is a Canadian import? Either that, or it had some mild customizing... Did I mention? Sapphire black..

Replying to: shipo (Jun 07, 2006 4:10 pm) What's "i" about. My internal theory has been that it has to do with fuel injection, which was (back in the day) optional. Perhaps not. Could you walk the ignorant among us (of whom I am prominent) through the "i", "l" & whatever else shows up on those badges that most in Europe either never had in the first place or take off at their first opportunity? Thanks.
