The OEM brake pads were painfully inadequate for anything more than street driving. Interestingly enough, the rest of the brake components were designed very good and they have a lot of capacity. A simple pad upgrade and brake fluid flush proved sufficient for more serious track days.
Pros: simple pad upgrade sufficient
Cons: pads painfully inadequate

I had Kumho LE Sports on my 95 M3 and really liked them as a street tire. Quiet, good dry/wet traction, and the price was right. I'd buy them again.
Pros: quiet, good traction

Looks to be exact same procedure as on my e46. Perhaps the easiest oil change I've ever done. In fact, I've used the same brand and spec oil too, which is an BMW LL-01.
Pros: easiest oil change

It makes a fairly drastic different in visibility on my E30 so I use them, they're yellow too. They're aimed properly and won't blind anyone and provide better visibility IMO
Pros: better visibility, aimed properly

BMW has the studded generals and both Hondas have the Blizzaks. Both are capable and good rubber for colder climates. I live in the interior of AK where owning a set of winter tires is a necessity. Blizzak=more $, general=inexpensive and pretty darn good. I have the generals on my wife's BMW for assurance on icy roads and rwd peace of mind. I had Dunlop m3 which sucked here. I run the bizzaks year round as do many folks for the sake that the weather can change quickly. no significant tire wear to note.
Pros: capable, good rubber, inexpensive

When the tires are new, or in the first half of their wear, they are almost identical in their performance--both quiet, good wet/dry weather performance and decent in the snow. *But* when I had my bimmer, the Conti's got seemingly harder and louder on the second half of their wear---which is normal for almost any tire with not much tread left.
Pros: quiet, good performance
Cons: harder and louder
