I loved swapping differentials with my BMW. Changed out quite a few of them and a nice short gear in my 535 out of a 735 was pretty fun.
Reviews of spare parts for BMW
I've installed drilled and slotted rotors on my pickup, BMW X5, and just ordered a set for my BMW Z3. I live in the mountains, drive spirited, and definitely have improved braking performance with them. Make sure you bed the pads in correctly.
Im stage 2 and used to run liqui moly 5w-30 but it didn’t seem to make my engine run as smooth as it should until my friend recommended me motul 5w-40 and so I recommend motul 5w-40. Me and my friend both beat on our stage 2+ 340is and motul seems to make my engine run way healthier and smooth compared to liqui moly 5w-30.
03’ E46 318ci with 130k miles and no issues with the whole cooling system. Neither the thermostat.
My old car was sitting for a year because my sister wanted to drive a bmw. Neglected it. Went to get it back yesterday and oil was under the dipstick, and engine knocked. I added Lucas oil some $18 additive, and filled rest up with oil, was only a half quart under the stick so it took a whole quart. Quieted by half almost immediately, drove 2 hours back home and engine is silent!!
So I’m in the U.K. and I just had my car serviced it’s an x4M, the reccomend is BMW or Castrol Edge, I went for Mobil 1 0w-30. For some reason not sure if it’s the oil my fuel economy has gone up by 100 miles per tank
I use Castrol Edge 5W30 LL04 (M). I doubt what you read about sludge is true. Regular oil and filter changes are way more important than which brand you use.
For driveshaft you can go with GSP. They are not that bad.
I’ve owned 6 BMWs every one of them got cracked windshields, some multiple times….i always got oem…
I replaced 4 continental water pumps in one year.
