  1. Thanks! I'll ask my service advisor next time I'm in for an oil change.
  2. I have a 2000 GS400 Platinum Edition. The Plat Edition included the 17-inch spoke wheels and Bridgestone tires. Within the first 3 months the dealer replaced all of the tires twice and the two front tires once more. I had a vibration in the steering column at 60mph. The tech said that the tires were "out-of-round", but was puzzled as to why this occurred so quickly. So, the dealer replaced the tires with Eagle GT's. (The dealer didn't charge me for any of the tire changes.) The Eagles are rougher riding, but I haven't had any problems per se. However, I have experienced plenty of other steering problems since. The steering in the GS has the same reported problems as their other models. The dealer tech "can" make an adjustment, "tightening up the rack", to reduce steering vibration and body roll. He can also increase your tire pressure that make a difference as well. This is the only problem that I have with this model, but when BMW releases the 2004 5-Series, it'll be gone.
