One of those checks will be a minimum thickness on discs and pads. Given you've only done just over 1000 miles in the vehicle since purchase, it would seem to me that the minimum thickness on the discs when the vehicle was sold to you was at or below that required as part of the pre-sale check.
Best things I did for my g80 was 1) Mishimoto skid plate to protect my oil cooler 2)Ceramic brake pads because the red dust that will engulf the lower half of your car after a 1/2 mile drive is insane.
Swapped over the M Sport bumper last night plus an oil change and a cabin filter :) Such a fun car, I love driving this thing.
Always use BMW genuine oil or Liqui Moly, along with BMW OEM M oil filters, which are made in Austria and feature an ultra-fine mesh for superior filtering.
For my X5 M comp I go with the ultimate tire/wheel, windshield, ext maintenance (5 not 7). Curb rash one rim and you make it back… WS replacement from crack is the same. BMW glass has gotten softer and more prone.
BMW, to achieve superior handling, uses an aggressive negative camber for the rear wheels. So the inner of the rear tires will wear out faster by design. It is not an alignment issue.
Electric water pump on my BMW was \u00a3436.54 fitted at a BMW specialist (not dealership) OEM pump fitted, the same pump for me to buy and fit myself (no chance) was \u00a3600+ on Euro Car Parts
I had the shudder issue and they replaced the fluid. About a year later I needed to replace the transfer case which cost about $8,500.
My new BMW X3 was reliable.
It reliably would NOT start whenever the temperature dropped below -20C, even with a battery tender on it. The dealer couldn’t find anything wrong with it.
Stock BMW tires are run flats. Run flats stink.
