The throttle body was also going at one point but I could still drive around. $50 for a used one and 45 minutes later I was good to go.
I just changed the front pads/rotors on my '04 325i to Zimmerman with the OEM Textar pads. Seem to work same as before, no complaints from me. They are dusty like people say, but I don't care too much about that.
I am still on my original battery in my 2007 335i w/ 87k miles.
I've been very happy with Mobil 1 0W-40 EP, which I've used for many years in BMWs
I use cheap-o copper NGK V-Power all copper plugs on my M Roadster that produce max power (according to a cohort of enthusiast whack-jobs who repeatedly dyno their cars to look for .0005% differences in power output), but need to be changed every year. No problems thus far.
Great cars. They like to eat brakes in regular intervals. With 70k make sure there is no front end shimmy that is the result in worn control arm bushings/warped brake rotors.
check out General Altimax Arctic tires, Im on my 3rd season and they have plenty of life left to them and made my E30 a champ in the snow.
I recently bought a BMW "aftermarket" thermostat + housing on eBay... the new part was OEM, made by Bosch, essentially identical, but the BMW logo had been ground off for some reason. I got a new, perfect part for literally 30% of the price of one down the street at the dealer, including shipping.
The way the brakes begin to grumble during heavy braking is less impressive, but they work well enough.
The OEM A/S Dunlop has a 92 sidewall rating; it certainly isn't "soft." it is, unfortunately, just a weak tire design/build in this case I've lost 3 already as well and currently running a 4th with a bubble... they suck
