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.
I have a 2013 Hyundai accent glass. But it works and no serious issues. Just the common brakes and tires. Great on gas. Has some pep. And fits 5 people easily. Big trunk space.
I have a 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe with 30,000 and still has the original pads and aren't worn out yet.
I've been driving it with a Stage 2 tune for 4 years and put another 50,000km on it and I've had 0 repairs. Maintenance is more expensive of course, bigger tires, bigger brakes, more oil, it all adds up but the B58 is super reliable.
If you find a used BMW that has been well taken care of, especially one with an inline 6 cylinder, you should have very few issues for 5 years of ownership. A few examples in my family… 2003 X5 4.4i just regular maintenance including new brakes for 5 years of ownership and 60k some miles.
And even the normal things they need are a little pricier than on normal cars; you might need ($300) brake pads and ($1,000) brake rotors in 50,000 or 60,000 miles instead of just ($250) brake pads.
Configuring new car I would definitelly go for ccbs. The braking power is massive. But if driving in cold weather, snow or cold rain and not touching the brake for couple of minutes on highway and the first braking after that is basically no braking.
If used incorrectly on the track you can fuck them up. Dont ask how I learned that. Swapping them to steelies now. Car is at 130k kms. The weight of ccbs is good but they starting peeling probably due to overheating them with too much worn brake pads.
I wouldn\u2019t get them again. Occasionally noisy at low speed, very unsettling brake feel in heavy rain/water, debris can get trapped between the caliber and wheel creating an ungodly noise. That being said, I have 82k miles on mine and still original pads.
Late last year had the brakes completely fail on a 3 day old Pallisade and the dealer told the victims that yes it’s a known problem. No there’s not a fix, have a nice day and let them drive off in it. I basically begged them to pick anything else but they wouldn’t hear it, that is until they almost crashed with my two nephews in tow.
You bought a BMW and now have to pay to keep it running and this is what it costs.
