I went with the cheaper Bosch unit myself for my M3, and it's been working well for the past 4k miles.
Reviews of spare parts for BMW
I recently got a pair of pretty rusty 325 calipers for £50 (mine are the smaller ones from a 316) and sandblasted them back to clean metal. Then painted with high temp paint and rebuild kit £30 (pistons, seals, guide pins, bleed valves etc). I was pretty happy with the result which cost me around £100 for the pair. I then went with mintex discs and pads and a full set of braided brake lines my mate had. Full refurb prolly cost me £300 and are significantly better than they were but I don't think they will be as good as a 4 pot setup.
M3 stock brakes are better, the GTI gets a little tail-happy under hard braking above 110-130mph.
I've been very happy with the Trico Onyx blades.
Loving the Bosch headlights!
I have installed two Z3 racks, I love it... Bought both used on Ebay from CA from low mileage cars and look fantastic, wouldn't hesitate buying used from a salvage if you know the mileage.
I have a Z3 steering rack and love it. Extremely tight steering.
I picked up and e36 rack (wish I went z3 at the time). Tightens everything up.
I've got these. Great pedal feel, stopping distance. The ****ing worst dust and noise.
I've run the PSS and I have the 500's on my 135 as throwaway summers. They're soft and comfortable and grip OK... but they're numb and greasy at the same time. Very Meh tire.
