Same full coverage. The Boxster is worth at least 50% more than the M3. And they don't even know about the turbo. I guess us M3 drivers have given ourselves a bad name. :-(. -Matt --- Joseph Bachman III <josephbachman@hotmail.com> wrote: > Date: Tue, 06 Nov 2001 18:46:20 +0000 > From: "Joseph Bachman III" > <josephbachman@hotmail.com> > Subject: Insurance Rates > > Hey gang - > > I just got a notice from my insurance company > telling me that my rates were > to be raised due to an increase in the average cost > of repair to a BMW 99 > M3.

But there aren't many Lightweights around, so I thought I'd pass this along. --Dan '98 M3/4 Heavyweight

In upstate NY, State Farm charges me $10/month on payment plan more for my '99 M3 than for my wife's 2000 Tiburon or my son's '86 325 (but he's under 25). Most of the charge is liability and requierd. Collision/Comprehensive is less than half.

#4. Optima Battery in 95 M3? - from mroblin@att.net

Date: Tue, 6 Nov 2001 16:16:54 -0800 From: <mroblin@att.net> Subject: Optima Battery in 95 M3? Hello, Checked the archives, but can't get a clear answer. Has anyone replaced their battery with an Optima R34 (8003-151 - Orange top, reverse polarity)? Looking at datasheets for the Optima red/orange top batteries, the batteries are 7.8" tall, vs. the 7" tall OE battery. It doesn't seem as if there is enough room under the package shelf to fit the Optima posts and retain the plastic shelf. Murray Roblin mroblin@worldnet.att.net 650 868 0926 520 962 0957 fax

Your pals on the track might appreciate the added expense. The PF-90's were ~ $300 for front and rear. Pricey indeed. Still, it's cheaper than hitting something solid to slow down... OTOH, not having good brakes is a great way to suddenly find religion. ;-) Mike >snip snip snip... Absolutely NOT looking to start the old pad debate again, as I've been there too many times. I am looking for feedback on a few pad choices though. These are what I'm looking in to: Hawk HPS Hawk HP Plus PF-Z Porterfield R4-S maybe Redstuff (??) Any experience with these is welcome. Please include the type of driving you used them for, and any/all impressions you have (noise, dust, performance, whatever!). ;-) BTW, anyone know if pads that WERE black but are now completely silver/ash colored are worth keeping?? I'm guessing no, as they also seem to have teeth now, and that can't be good for rotor life. ;) I don't think I'll ever spend that much money on a brake pad again!!!
