I replaced my OEM BMW blank rotors that were done and warped for the blank Zimmermann ones a week ago, but I got them from FCP euro which they had them at a lower price. I have a slow grocery getter 328i so no need to get anything more. I also used Akebono ceramic brake pads.
Same issue here with 2020 (standard brakes). Was driving my wife absolutely bananas. Swapped out two weeks ago with Power Stop Z23 Ceramic/Carbon pads… zero noise, good performance after they were bedded in and virtually NO DUST.
What I've discovered is that the design of the OEM rotors are BMW 2-piece brake rotors with iron friction ring with a lightweight aluminum rotor hat. This design , to me, has flaws and is prone to excessive heat and warps rather quickly. I've had the same problem repeatedly. I switched to Zimmerman one-piece cast iron rotors with OEM pads, and I've driven very hard, and it hasn't happened ever again.
Nooo. Return them. Get the DEPO headlights. Good ZKW/Bosch sets are expensive nowadays and DEPOs are perfectly fine.
Depo if you want good price for good quality
Koni yellows and your choice of spring. I run h&r sports and it’s still very daily friendly and comfortable, but is sporty enough to throw into corners with no hesitation.
I'd recommend looking at an upgraded Pierburg water pump. None of the plastic bits & will save you from replacing it again in a few years.
Coolant systems, valve cover gaskets, flaky electronis, typical BMW stuff are the main issues, and it sounds like the valve cover gasket on that one needs replacing.
I went through 2 windshield in a couple of weeks. First one was because a motorcycle rider in the fast lane kicked up a rock and it hit my windshield in the lower left corner by the vin. I was in the other lane. Fluke accident. it started as a small chip but over the next 30min the crack moved across the windshield. Never seen that before. I got it replaced at the dealer 3800.00 later. A few weeks later I hear a huge bang like something hit my car and a huge crack is now across my windshield. I was not tailing anyone. I think the windshield might have been installed incorrectly or was defective and cracked from some stress. Another 3800.00 and this one seems fine so far.
I think the glass is just really soft. The windshield on my F82 was completely sandblasted when I bought it. I ended up replacing it with OEM BMW glass and now keep a much wider distance between me and the vehicles in front lol.
