KONI Shock absorbers

Koni yellow. They’re adjustable and can be extremely stiff or nice and soft, and you get to decide what they feel like. They can be dialed up for a track day or put back down to soft for bad roads. I absolutely love them.

Pros: adjustable, stiff or soft
Vehicle: BMW

Rating 5.0

I almost went with KYB but got Koni Active instead and holy crap am I glad I did. For WI roads I wouldn’t buy anything else ever again.

Pros: glad I did

Zimmermann Brake discs
GurmeetNagra
  • Braking:
  • Noise:
Rating 4.0

I’ve used Zimmerman rotors with Textar pads on my X5 and they’re pretty solid. They do squeak in the cold a lot more than the OE’s do but not that big of a deal to me. Performance wise I haven’t noticed a big difference if I’m honest.

Pros: pretty solid, good performance
Cons: squeak in cold weather
Vehicle: BMW X5

Goodyear Tires

I had your predicament last year, and went with Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3s. Stickier than R-S4s, but last a lot longer than RT660s. I’m pretty happy with them now that the year is over. I’d definitely recommend them.

Pros: stickier than R-S4s
Cons: none

Akebono Brake pads
gitbse
  • Braking:
Rating 5.0

I just did brakes on my 2017 330. I got Brembo rotors, and Akebono pads. They're excellent brakes, akebono pads are highly recommended, and Brmebo holds its own.

Pros: excellent brakes, highly recommended

Castrol Engine oil

I change every 10,000 km - 7000 mi.

Castrol or Mobil full synthetic.

To me that is much better than running any brand of oil longer.

Pros: better than running longer
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 10000 km

Nissens AC compressor
EicherDiesel
  • Cooling performance:
  • Noise:
Rating 3.5

I've fitted Nissens AC parts regularly at work without having the customers come back. The only time I had a problem with them was when I fitted a Nissens AC compressor to my beater rally BMW and then first absolutely beat the shit out of the car over small mountain passes for a couple days with hitting the redline all the time and then driving on into 110°F weather. It still cooled just fine but started to rattle like a tin can full of gravel within a week of installing it. It got replaced under warranty no questions asked so I can't really complain though.

Pros: cooled just fine, good warranty
Cons: started to rattle
Vehicle: BMW

Bosch Alternator
p_roloff
  • Warning light:
Rating 2.0

FWIW I bought an oreilly\u2019s remanufactured for my e34 a few years ago. It failed and was replaced twice in two years until I just bought the Bosch from FCP. No issues since.

Pros: no issues with Bosch
Cons: failed and replaced twice
Vehicle: BMW
