I use 5w40 Castro’s European blend in my 06 e60 530xi and it seems like it does the job.
Right now I have liqui moly 5w-30 in there and it runs fine.
I used Castrol GTX 10W-40 High mileage and never had issues.
I recently ordered some OEM BMW floor mats for my E46 off of FCP (I wanted the clips for the front that come in the "set"). Easy enough, sure the car is 17 years old but I never thought about not being able to order OEM mats.
You have to trim a good 2 inches out of your firewall depending on where your rack is mounted. I’ve found that all racks are not perfectly the same and some require more trimming. I used a bur bit and die grinder and got it done in a few minutes. I also made my own grommet plate from Abs plastic. The z3 rack is by far the best thing I’ve done to the e30.
My water pump lasted 420,000km
My water pump went out at 155k, 2006 BMW 325i auto
I’m at 180k, holding strong
They're both fine brands, I doubt you'll notice a difference. NGK is most likely OEM for your Civic, but it's not like Bosch is bad, they're OEM in my BMW.
Very surprised that you guys are fans of Akebonos... Had them in the wife's Z4 and found the initial bite and overall braking performance to be much much weaker than the OEM BMW pads... It was bad to the point that I removed them a couple months in and just got Pagid pads for it...
