I agree with you. I said "it sounds like" not "it's because of".

Brilliant. You said it sounds like infrequent oil changes were the cause
of
the motor problems on a car that had oil changes at half the intervals
recommended by the factory.

So... your point is?

Exactly what it's been all along - you have no knowledge of the service
records of the car in question and are in no position to postulate the
reason for the engine problem. It's a simple concept.

Absolutely. Maybe he didn't change the oil enough or something.

LOL! Jim, you are taking it too personally. Richard is suggesting a
possible cause of early failure, not saying you or your dad actually
are negligent in that respect.

I understand your point, but he suggested a cause that would be negligent
maintenence without knowing any specifics about the car. Now that he knows
the car got oil/filter changes at half the factory recommended intervals,
he's still pushing the "didn't change the oil enough or something" BS.

Yeah, half the factory recommended interval isn't near enough. Of course you
knew that before you wrote this latest piece of BS............

That's ok, do better next time. Try half the factory recommendation.

Why? Do you do the same with all the fluids in the car, and if so why not?

Both the SLK and the Z4 are hairdressers cars.

Which of the above is the best roadster? What do people think?

Here's a Russian article. Can anyone translate this.
http://bmw.carclub.ru/articles/allarticles/0000004340/

I'm not sure which one I'd choose. I probably lean towards the Z4 M,
but Boxster S has probably better handling. Recently Boxster S won vs
Z4M in a comparo. SLK 55 has nice hardtop but no manual, but has
presence (read: chicksmobile?) from the front like the SLR. I think all
are winners. Any thoughts?
