BMW parts reviews

I replaced my pads and rotors a year ago with Akebono pads and Zimmerman rotors, no complaints at all.

The forums are riddled with people who tried to save a few bucks & got what they paid for. The DME on an e90 is extremely fickle. DO NOT buy an alternator unless it\u2019s a Bosch.

Bosch Icon. Expensive and worth it

The OEM of wiper blades for all (modern) BMWs is SWF. I would recommend using them, they are excellent quality.

I do liqui moly special tec 5w30 and a mann filter on my n54 every 5000 miles. I'm lower mileage than you at 55k but never had an issue. I tried 5w40 but the car just feels better with the 5w30 in it.

I use bosch airo twins on mine. Great wipers

I replaced both of mine with new factory units. They have held up, going on 8 yrs and still look new.

I put B4's on our 2008 535xi a few years ago. I first thought they were stiff but I decided the old ones were really soft. B4 was listed as the OEM equivalent.

I think I just went back and got the Bosch. Couldn’t return either because I jacked up the nips trying to tweak them off ????

Don't think the platinums give much of a performance advantage and they foul faster if you've got any oil burning going on...
