Hello-

I bought a 97 Estoril Blue M3 a week ago (my first BMW).  Some pics of it 
are on the web at

The car has Bridgestone Potenza RE730 tires on it. These tires were bought 
new in Oct, 2000 when the car had 23,300 miles on it.  The car now has 
32,600 miles.  What do you know about these tires?  Specifically, how many 
miles of "normal" driving might I get from them?  ("Normal" means 2/3rds 
highway driving, 1/3rd city driving, and an autocross or two per year.)

The car will not be driven in the snow/ice (I live in MD) and may not come 
out in the rain.

I have the factory am/fm/cassette unit if anyone is interested in it.  Let 
me know.

What is a good radar detector (other than the Valentine 1)?

Do any of you live in the metro Wash DC area?  Where is the best place in 
this area to get my car serviced?

Thanks,

Kevin
