BMW parts reviews

I love the Ferodo DS 1.11 that I use on my M4. They're noisy and the dust is epic but they're totally fine to drive to and from the track. I've used them at a few track days at California Speedway, they're wearing really well, and I've never had even the slightest fade.

Try the Michelin Anakee Wild or Mitas/Sava MC 60 for more off-road orientation.

I fully refreshed my E39 [Sachs Sports,all 16 bushings] it drove like dream.

I have a 530d manual and with a simple decat, egr blank and remap it's faster than a 530i.

HD thrust arms are an improvement without too much sacrifice. Better shocks as well. I’ve found tires make a huge difference with the E39.

I really like Pirelli Scorpion tires. I have used them on a couple different BMW X3's. They are good for snow and bad weather; but not much for off-roading. Scorpions are mid-priced.

I ran the euro Peak without issue for about a year but I was bleeding coolant and in desperate need of the cooling system overhaul.

I drive my RWD performance summer tires in sub freezing temps when it’s dry out, WITH caution. It will be like using hard plastic tires. No sudden shift in weight please!

E93 here formerly with RFTs, they were awful, cracked MV4s and new RFTs every 3-4 months was the norm. Got some Michelin non-RFTs and never looked back

I am about to do my THIRD water pump replacement on our '08 535xi. I replaced it in 2016, again in 2018, and it is now leaking again. I will get it out today and verify but the leaks have all been along a casting seam in the plastic impeller cover. These have all been factory VDO/Continental OEM pumps. Something is wrong here but it sure stumps me. If I buy another I will get it from FCPeuro because of their warranty but I sure hate doing this job.
