I just used the vdo/continental pump. The plastic end on it makes it more prone to a leak, but hopefully by the point I do it again preventatively, there won't be a leak. Been 10k miles, no issues so far. Oil stays abiut 5ish degrees cooler with this new pump/t stat
BMW parts reviews
I'm running Powerstop Z23's up front on my 2017, had no problems installing them along with a new set of Stoptech (centric) slotted rotors. The part number for the pads is Z23-1308a, and the part numbers are 126.34156SL and 126.34156SR (slotted rotors have a left and right side).
Got TRW pads from FCP, they work really well!
I've been running powerstop brakes for about 3 years now, and they've been excellent for me. drilled and slotted rotors front and rear with Z23 ceramic pads, stock calipers. they do lack a bit of bite while they're cold driving at low speeds. where they really shine is on the highway and they have a chance to come up to temp. coming down from 100+ mph, they're so smooth and consistent. I think they look great on the car too.
I have always used and trusted akebono pads. I've used them in Jeeps, Land rovers, Toyotas, Ford's, my 335i...you name it. Much less brake dust. Very quiet. Long lasting.
I did have to replace the front control arms last year at $1,300.

Many people like rain-x. It messes up the sensor in my car (BMW). I find that the cheap generic blue stuff works fine for me.
My BMW 2020 X7 lease is up and I’d like to do a lease buyout. My right headlight is cracked and BMW won’t repair it. Can I still do a lease buyout with the damaged headlight or will I be charged for that? BMW gave me a repair cost of almost 9k.
I have a 2019 M240i that gets condensation inside
the driver side headlight when it gets very wet (in a car wash or a very heavy rain- not so much in a light rain). This doesn’t really happen on the passenger side. I saw your response to the other person where you said this would be covered under warranty.
