BMW parts reviews

Bilstein B4 is a good replacement.

I was lucky as no metal contamination was found in my system. $3100 of replacement later and I'm back on the road with the latest generation of compressor. Yay!

I run Endless ME20 on my E92 (it has an F80 brakes retrofit) and they work great. Done 12 track days now on the set and they still have over 50% material left, but I'm on my 2nd set of track tyres. Not all the track days have been full-on though.

I measured out the area under my car and then found the biggest muffler magnaflow made that i could fit. My cammed ls3 is super quiet.

Better cooling, and made in South Africa.

I love the Koni Special Actives I put on my 530i daily. Comfortable on the highway, great and control in the twisties.

I have this exact engine and installed a diesel thermostat. Previously, with the standard thermostat, the plastic timing chain guides would start to disintegrate after three years, but now I have no problem with that. The engine temperature is around 96°C.

I’ve used trw and jurid pads with Zimmerman rotors and an R1 concepts kit, with their most aggressive pad compound. The TRW ceramic pads are fine, a bit noisy when cold in my experience. Jurid was the same. Zimmerman rotors warped on me in about 20k miles and the car was really only driven in the city so I, personally, wouldn’t pay the slight premium to get them.

I had yellowstuffs on my e46 330i and they were gone within 3 days on track. Swapped to Pagid RSL1/29 (Front/Rear) after and never looked back

I learned this the hard way switching to Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30, destroyed my bearings just like you.
