I ran Alpin 4s and 5s on my F80. Upstate NY, drove through some pretty sketchy road conditions completely fine
Reviews of spare parts for BMW
I have put 10k miles on it since then. The car has given me no issues whatsoever other than changing the brake pads and sensors.
I had my last winter with my F80 last year, and used Blizzaks on staggered 18” wheels. Never let me down through the shitty Canadian snow.
I had an f80 manual. I didn't find it vague. It was no 911 but short throws and pretty tight.
I used Michelins X-Ice snow tires on my F80. Highly recommended.
I have an S2000 as well as F87 M2. M2 isn't bad at all, but S2000 is the gold standard. I ordered a G87 manual; no way it ruins anything.
BMW, to achieve superior handling, uses an aggressive negative camber for the rear wheels. So the inner of the rear tires will wear out faster by design. It is not an alignment issue.
Electric water pump on my BMW was \u00a3436.54 fitted at a BMW specialist (not dealership) OEM pump fitted, the same pump for me to buy and fit myself (no chance) was \u00a3600+ on Euro Car Parts
I used Bilstein OE VDC shocks (same spec as BMW OEM). The FRONT ride is extremely rough and harsh on small bumps. Feels like: the front suspension has almost no travel, every road imperfection hits hard, the front is much stiffer than it should be, and the rear feels normal/comfortable.
I dug factory installed spark plugs out of my recently departed E90... they looked like something from the stone age. 19 year old car, and from what I could tell, never had the plugs changes.
