OEM BMW Engine radiator
bmo578
  • Overheating:
Rating 5.0

OEM radiator. Replaced radiator on visit 5 (today). Bmw closed loop network is what eventually led to the radiator being checked as they’ve seen aftermarket radiators actually cool the cars too much, therefore sending the tstat fault in cold weather (this issue occurred first last winter for me, then again 5 times this winter.. all same fault code). Confidence that this is the root cause fix seems to be high so fingers crossed I won’t be updating this in a few days.

Pros: actual solution, high confidence fix

Rating 5.0

I have an X5 2021 40i M Sport package, and last week, I purchased a set of front 275/35R-22 Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 XL, rear 315/30R-22 Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 PNCS, Noise Cancelling NON-run flats, I live in New Jersey. It snowed last night only 1 inch and rained and sleeted all day. I took a 120-mile round trip this afternoon on rt 78 today on these tires. I can tell you these tires performed excellent in the wet and ice. I had full control of the SUV. So far, tires are good.

Pros: excellent in wet and ice

Cons: other warped fast

Brembo low dust pads and oem rotors on my 330ci. Rotors tend to warp easy on these so I figured I'd stick with bmw.

Yeah, akes are trash when it comes to braking in heat or heat cycling and have horrible fade even with slightly aggressive driving but they really do produce nearly zero dust.

Pros: produce nearly zero dust
Cons: horrible fade, poor braking
