I don't use a wax as the durability and ability to shed dirt is limited.

Zaino is a great product but there are better and newer ones these days.

My 2 favourite products are 22PLE and CQuartz...

I suspect there are differences even in the same model of cars... my 328 was REALLY bad and took a while to get better.

My experience with RPI is that they are much slower than other vendors but things eventually get delivered. Because they are not as responsive, I tend to go elsewhere if I can but sometimes it isn't...

My BMW 328 and my BMW M3 did this for the first few thousand miles. That is, being a little stiff and sometimes a "crunch" going into a gear when very cold. Both of those cars stopped doing it......

All of the cars have this to some extent... it will improve with mileage and with temperature. My M3 was like this too and after about 4,000 miles it was WAY smoother.

It's been reported and confirmed by several magazines AND by several owners with slips. I want to say that the lowest recorded was 3.6 if my memory serves me.
