Last oil change (Sep 2022, 100,094 miles), I used Castrol Edge 0W-40.
Reviews of spare parts for BMW
Koni yellow. They’re adjustable and can be extremely stiff or nice and soft, and you get to decide what they feel like. They can be dialed up for a track day or put back down to soft for bad roads. I absolutely love them.
I almost went with KYB but got Koni Active instead and holy crap am I glad I did. For WI roads I wouldn’t buy anything else ever again.
I’ve used Zimmerman rotors with Textar pads on my X5 and they’re pretty solid. They do squeak in the cold a lot more than the OE’s do but not that big of a deal to me. Performance wise I haven’t noticed a big difference if I’m honest.
I had your predicament last year, and went with Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3s. Stickier than R-S4s, but last a lot longer than RT660s. I’m pretty happy with them now that the year is over. I’d definitely recommend them.
I just did brakes on my 2017 330. I got Brembo rotors, and Akebono pads. They're excellent brakes, akebono pads are highly recommended, and Brmebo holds its own.
I change every 10,000 km - 7000 mi.
Castrol or Mobil full synthetic.
To me that is much better than running any brand of oil longer.
I've fitted Nissens AC parts regularly at work without having the customers come back. The only time I had a problem with them was when I fitted a Nissens AC compressor to my beater rally BMW and then first absolutely beat the shit out of the car over small mountain passes for a couple days with hitting the redline all the time and then driving on into 110°F weather. It still cooled just fine but started to rattle like a tin can full of gravel within a week of installing it. It got replaced under warranty no questions asked so I can't really complain though.
FWIW I bought an oreilly\u2019s remanufactured for my e34 a few years ago. It failed and was replaced twice in two years until I just bought the Bosch from FCP. No issues since.
Replaced them with another pairs of Bosch Endurance, still have the line and it's seems like the rubber is slapping my windshield and make a very annoying noise
