BMW parts reviews

I paid 800 all in for tarox front and rear dics and ferodo pads on my f10 535d and fitted it myself in a day..

I went with akebono brake pads which leave a lot less dust than the OEM pads and wear slower.

Assuming you have an early model with the sealed beams, they are a great upgrade. If you are replacing OEM ellipsoids on a later model, there is a drop in quality. Still, they cost 1/3 of the price of new OEMs these days. Those same DEPO headlights are sold by a dozen different resellers so you could probably find them slightly cheaper.

Ive seen people talk about issues with the seals and water getting in them, but I’ve had three sets on different cars and it was never a problem. After a couple years the set I’m using now had an issue with one of the wires going into the bulb socket but it wasn’t hard to rewire it. You do need to use a little care when aiming them because the adjusting mechanism is a bit flimsy, but manageable.

They are the most commonly used replacement headlights for E30s. They aren’t quite OEM quality, but they work just fine. If you have functioning OEM ellipsoids and are looking to upgrade, this is not that. If you have the old sealed beam headlights the difference is night and day.

BMW used to recommend you changing oil basically every time you blink, back when consumers paid for 100% of all maintenance. But in order to be more competitive, they began offering 3 year included free maintenance on all new vehicles.

Mine was still going at 123k. I did have a shadow code (2E85) but that had been there for years. I decided to replace it out of caution and. Now have about 10k on the new one.

Valeo from FCP Euro, lifetime warranty on almost everything including oil, great company, already on my third free oil change with them

I've been tracking my 335i for a few years now, ive used ebc yellowstuff, and bluestuff pads. But they dont even hold a candle to the hawk ht10 pads I have in my spec e46, easily my favorite part of that car.

I used up 40% of brand-new Hawk HPS pad in the front in 1 track day, so I only have 1 or 2 more track days left in them.

But then it also went through _three_ brake boosters, two rear differentials, blew a head gasket, burst the radiator and just ran like a dog.

The run flat tires are terrible. They feel like they are made of concrete and the grip is very lacking.
