zhp rack is my favorite mod, and I have many. Even if you're not tracking, the biggest affects to driving feel are steering and tires. The lock-to-lock is largely irrelevant on public roads but the feel makes a big difference vs the other racks.
Great quality at a decent price. I've been using them for almost 15 years on everythinng from a minivan to 2 BMWs.
After talking to a European mechanic. He said u need Germany oil for a German car. American oil is trash bc of the EPA regulations. He recommended Pentosin. The tick tock went away and I've been using it every oil change
Michelin Primacy are good road going tyre imo, reputable brand, high quality and has lasted many many 1000s of miles.
I just installed Michelin pilot sport AS on my 11 328 and they are well worth the cost.
Four years ago I bought a set of continental contipro contacts for my E90. $1200. They are still in good shape with plenty of tread. More than 50%.
Regarding the X3M - I have about 9 months and 6k miles or so dailying mine. It is firm but I don't believe it's as punishing as most reviews mention. The thing is a monster man. I don't know why anyone would need anything more in a daily. It handles easily as good as my RS3 did and maybe even less body roll despite being much higher CoG and the RS3 didn't roll much either. It feels direct and definitely feels rear driven.
Pierburg water pumps are known to be good for about 60-80k, which is the usual time they fail (they either leak or the electronics inside fail).
Replaced it with a TYC Alternator from Rock Auto that throws a whole bunch of codes.
We were on our way back from a daytrip when the M3's alternator decided to give up the ghost about 1.5 hours from home.
