GENERAL TIRE Tires

Ill throw another one in here, I have used general altimax arctic tires on my e30 for about 5 years now and love them. Im down in PA, USA but have managed through 8 inches of snow in my car and they lasted me about 3 winters (plus one summer cause I was lazy).

Pros: good in snow, long lasting

MICHELIN Tires

Further to the Xice3 awesomeness. I drove through 50 km of super-twisty tight mountain road this weekend and came across a BMW 5-series on wide tires that would sprint off on the straights then I'd catch him in the twisties then he'd take off on the straights (rinse and repeat)... Anyway, mixed dry/damp pavement at about 10 \u00b0C and the Xice3s had grip to spare in corners.

Pros: grip to spare in corners

I had the Pilot Alpines on my Z4M Coupe last winter. Loved them for below freezing dry conditions, and I was driving past stuck subarus in snowy conditions as well.

Pros: loved below freezing conditions

Continental Tires

I ran the Continental Extreme DWS on my last M3 year round here in Colorado. They did really well in the summer mountain drives and served me just fine in the snow.

Pros: did well in summer

Rating 4.5

I had just come from the old Good year Eagle F1 GSD3's which were fantastic if a little soft on the sidewalls. The General's gave me decent tread life and grip. They weren't nearly as good in the wet as the F1's but I'm not sure my current PSS's are even as good as those F1's were; they were simply magic in the wet. My biggest complaint was the noise, just a very loud tire. I've had falken 512's and hated them. I knew how good the PSS's were but they were going to run about $1100 for the set. I ended up spending the extra because of the mileage guarantee. They guarantee 30k miles, which I have never seen out of a set of tires, and pro-rate replacements for any mileage under 30k. On my E46 that equated to me getting BOGO PSS's. The money upfront more than paid for itself in the long run; plus there are no tires on the market that do everything the PSS does as well as the PSS does.

Pros: fantastic wet grip, mileage guarantee
Cons: soft sidewalls, very loud

I actually have the Kuhmos on my 530, and I've been pretty happy with them. Very quiet and seem to grip well. Just my two cents.

Pros: very quiet, good grip

OEM BMW Throttle position sensor (TPS)
stevegolf
  • Throttle response:
  • Warning light:
Rating 3.0

It needed a new throttle position sensor which is integrated into the throttle body. There is a cable going to the throttle body, two potentiometers read the angle and help adjust the throttle valve. One or both of those were going bad.

Pros: good as new
Cons: not responding to inputs
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 10000 km
