BMW parts reviews

for the time being it seems that Q8 Prestige V is even tiny bit better than original BMW oil made by Shell for BMW.

Awesome bike, but swap out the stock tires asap.

I use 5w40 shell helix ultra on my 520i. It doesn't burn a single gram, it's relatively inexpensive (cheaper than the liquy moly I used to use) and is BMW long life 01 approved. The car runs smoothly, I'd recommend it

I'd recommend only the original expansion tank. That tank usually outlasts all other aftermarket ones.

Swapped my wifes Z4 from runflats to normal.

Pros: better ride, less likely to crack rims, cheaper tyres.

Cons: no spare tyre.

I have a 2013 328i with the N20. At around 140k kms I had a couple separate mechanics bring up the timing chain unprompted and note that mine may be on its last legs. I can\u2019t say I noticed any major symptoms or signs, definitely no lights on the dashboard.\n\nI bit the bullet and paid $3500 CAD to get it done at one of the best shops around, during which they do the valve cover gasket and a bunch of other key maintenance items.\n\nThey showed me how loose the chain was and brittle the guide was, so it was a good call. I\u2019ve known I would eventually have to get this done.\n\nCar is running mint since then.

Before I switched I had 4 sidewall tears, one bent wheel, and one cracked wheel. $3000 in damage. After I switched, zero issues a year and a half later. Smoother ride and less road noise too.

Been using the recommended bmw 5w-30 up until recently. However been having to top up 5L every month so the shop switched over to 10w-40 and I haven't seen that I needed to top up yet, but it has only been one and half months so far since the service.

2023 X7 3 months old two windshields replaced. At this rate I think I'll need a subscription based windshield service. I've been driving for over 30 years, had Ford, Mercedes, Toyota, Doge, and other cars. Not a single chip or crack ever. With the beemer - got hit by a rock twice, each time big chips and immediate crack. And the rocks that hit my windshield weren't even that big (judging by the sound of it I want to say in other cars I've gotten peppered by bigger rocks). And to add insult to injury, I kept extra distance from the car in front of me today (new habit since the last -my first ever- crack), just so some douchebag could cut in front of me to kick up that £#*&¥% rock that cracked my windshield ????

They’re made by Delphi but they are different internally than the Delphi gn10571 or whatever they are, in the aftermarket. I had misfire issues and strange electrical feedback with Delphi aftermarket.
