OEM BMW Brake pads

A common brake upgrade to the E34 5 series was to install E38 (7 series) brakes. Only downside is you also have to install larger wheels.

Pros: better braking performance
Cons: requires larger wheels
Vehicle: BMW

Girling Brake caliper

Switching to a lightly modified 1990 Volvo 240 4-pot Girling caliper allowed me to go to vented front rotors and EBC track oriented pads!

Pros: vented rotors, better pads

Tesla Battery

It's a Tesla thing.

Tesla doesn't keep a buffer zone at the top end of the battery. 100% means 100% in a Tesla. Tesla advises to only use 100% when you need the extra range.

Pros: 100% means 100%
Cons: no buffer zone

Rating 3.0

So far I have replaced an injector on cilinder 3 (which has/had missfires). This helped a bit but not everything, still white smoke and a little rough when cold.

Pros: helped a bit
Cons: not everything

DELPHI Tie rod ends
fiddlermd
  • Steering play:
Rating 1.5

I got a replacement Delphi TA1646 Steering Tie Rod End Assembly from Amazon. The original tie rod had an allen wrench recess in the center so that you can hold it as you're tightening the nut. This one does not. Is this just defective or is there some trick I don't know about?

Cons: lacks allen wrench recess, difficult to tighten
Vehicle: BMW
Part number: TA1646
