me and some E39 buds here in the Netherlands have great experience with nissens. It's a pretty good package all around and had a copper core instead of alu.
I used to run the 10w-40 Valvoline high mileage synthetic blend from Walmart.
I use 15W-40 Liqui Moly Touring High Tech mineral oil. The filter you buy from BMW is made by Mahle so I would suggest that.
Falken, Toyo, Uniroyal etc are all good midrange. Don't skimp.
The oem BMW expansion tank has the longest life. I've been thru several aftermarket Expansion tanks that crack much earlier than a Factory BMW brand.
I'm a big fan of Zimmerman rotors. They're reasonably priced and wear well. Just don't get the 'fancy' drilled/slotted ones.
I've only ever used mann, I'm sure they both work! I'm going to stick with what I know is perfect though.
I’ve had my glass replaced in 2016 on a 2015 435i with heads up display and insurance covered the OEM replacement BMW logos and all. Only complaint was the tech put a small scratch in my heads up with his jagged ass vacuum cleaner tip but he owned up to it and wrote and signed it on the receipt in case I wanted to make a claim about it. It didn’t affect the heads up so I let it go.
I’m on my 3rd Mahle for my N54. If I did it again I’d go OEM.
Mann, Mahle sucks.
