BMW parts reviews

I put h&r sport springs with standard Bilstein struts on my touring a few months ago

Sits mabye a hair lower than a stock non-xi car

Should be a pic in my history if you want to take a look

H&r springs, Bilstein struts & shocks

That’s what I have on my 325xi

I've been tracking my E36 for many years with the more affordable Bosch pump and the only problem I had was the main o-ring seal flattening and seeping. They're so cheap that you could buy multiple of them and still spend less than the Stewart pump. Never had an issue with coolant temps, even when doing 20-30 minute sessions on the track all day at WOT.

What brand alternator did you use? If not OE, Bosch, or Valeo, change it again.

S52B32, 5W40 Rotella T6

I’ve had M52B25 in my E36. Now I have an E46 coupe with M54B22, I only use Motul 8100 x-cess, 5w40

M50 and [Liqui Moly 10w40](https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/10w-40-motor-oil-semi-synthetic-5-liters-liqui-moly-lm2043) from FCP for that sweet sweet free returns on everything

Like others have said, these are great if your looking for less dust, but definitely lack the bite of OE pads. They will still stop just fine, but just don’t expect that crisp initial bite you get with OE pads.

Just had my second Continental pump crack withon 20k

Changed to genuine thermostat, no change. Needle tends to dip on higher load highway driving, but only occasionally. Obd temp is between 77C-88C.
