I've been using prestone in my 2.0 for 5 years with no problem. The heater will make you sweat and the cooling system works flawlessly.

I have them on my E30. They're a fantastic tire in ALL conditions but heavy snow. Great in the dry, great in the wet, wear better than 512s did, fairly quiet for what they are. They're even passably ok in plowed/packed snow on traveled roads. They're slow to get going from a stop, but once you're moving they're very predictable and easy to drive with.
Pros: great in dry, wet
Cons: bad in loose snow

Based on extensive testing, BMW has approved only certain engine oils. Use only approved "BMW High Performance Synthetic Oil." If you are unable to obtain "BMW High Performance Synthetic Oil," you can add small amounts of synthetic oil in between oil changes.
Pros: BMW approved oils

I run AMSoil European Blend (specifically for VW,AUDI, BMW,) and the filter as well. I change my oil around 4-5K depending on my driving during that time. My oil always comes out slightly 'browned' .... never dark.
Pros: oil comes out browned

I bought a 83 528e in college with 168K miles on it, it lasted me thru college, a pizza delivery job, a paper delivery route for 2 years, and I still own it now over 10 years later with well over 300K miles on it. In that time period I honestly don't remember it ever needing repairing, I would say a total of less than $1500 for worn relays, timing belts, vacuum lines, coolant hoses, suspension bushings, and some other minor items.
Pros: durable, smooth engine
Cons: minor items worn
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 268800 km

FWIW.....an electrical engineer friend of mine with a custom turbo BMW z-3 with over 500hp/500ftlbs at the wheels, did the homework and said NGK is one bad A$$ plug......he said unless you get into the really specialty racing plugs NGK is where it's at.....i say for the same money go NGK as soon as i get 20,000 on my 03 the NGK's you mentioned are going in for sure...$2.50ea was what i was quoted near me seems cheap enough compared to the $17ea BMW plugs i sell at work
Pros: NGK is one bad A$$ plug
Vehicle:
BMW Z3
Mileage: 20000 km
I have a K&N in my BMW and it has helped with fuel consumption - however - it was a pro install and has a cold air duct fitted to the front grille. The car was then also dyno tuned to optimise the better airflow. However - I take the benefit in fewer filter changes and better fuel consumption.
Pros: improved fuel consumption, fewer filter changes
Cons: requires pro install, needs dyno tuning
