I run Penzoil Euro Platinum 5W-40 because it's regularly on sale at Canadian Tire.
Pros: regularly on sale
Vehicle:
BMW
5w40 for sure, my engine sounds happier, quieter, more sound than it did when the PO had 5w30 in it. So 5w40 is a given especially since you have a lot of Km on the clock, when it comes to the brand it really doesn't matter especially if you keep the oil change intervals reasonable.
Pros: engine sounds happier, quieter
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 12500 km
FWIW, if you don't have Bosch, BERU, Bremi, or NGK plugs/coils and have store brand stuff, I stop diagnostic work until you get OE grade stuff put in there. BMW's don't like the Zone/ebay for ignition parts in my experience.
Pros: OE grade stuff
Cons: store brand stuff

Decided to bump it up 5 to 245/40/20 and 275/35/20 and try some Continental ExtremeContact tires. Tested them out and noticed the faster I go the more floaty or the feeling that the car is 30 feet long (aka 1980's boat sized cars). Is this from what I've read that the sidewalls are softer on continental tires?
Cons: floaty feeling, softer sidewalls
Vehicle:
BMW
the 325 rotors are tiny and have pitiful heat capacity
Cons: tiny, pitiful heat capacity

I'm using bilstein b4's and when I put it all back together I ended up with over a fist of tire to fender gap and am trying to figure out how to fix this. Previous ride height was like 2 or 3 fingers between the tire and arch.
Cons: excessive fender gap
