BMW parts reviews

2014 F30 with N26 engine. 157K miles on original timing chain and BMW tech just inspected chain and guide after removing valve cover and said both are good.

I just shopped around for the brake pads for my 2 series, got the front ones done for £150. It was a trusted garage and they inspected the large m sport discs and said there was life for another set of pads on them after this new set. I’m also quite a light braker, so discs and pads tend to last me a long time.

Flush your cooling system and replace the green coolant with Valvoline Zerex G48, it's what's inside BMW's coolant jugs at the dealer.

Anyhow, BMWs are arctic tested and the mega aluminum blocks can contract to -50C and can still safely start with 0W40. So the key is 7000-10000 kms but mandatory 0w4- or a 5w30 Liqui Molly or Fuchs or motul BEFORE WINTER.

Io ogni 15.000km circa aspetto di andare in riserva, butto 1L di additivo e faccio il pieno, mai avuto problemi

NT01's are always my go-to. They aren't as sticky, but man, you can run them to the cords and they still perform.

I use ATE powerdisc for my e39 with ceramic pads. ATE are oe for bmw, the powerdiscs are just a little nice extra touch.

Sometimes when u replace the alternator but the battery is bad it'll just fry your new alternator.

bosch will do for a fester, for the more high performance or up market stuff i use mann or dealer and they aren’t that much more, i just had a 340 gt bmw in that ran the camshafts out of the head after 6k on factors oil and filter, the filter collapsed and sent paper fluff all round the engine so had to replace the cylinder head.

Von der Marke Mannol würde ich Abstand halten, da gab es gerade in letzter Zeit [Ungereimtheiten](https://oil-club.de/index.php?thread/3702-mannol-hersteller-thread/&pageNo=19)
