Replacing the original 25 year old starter (!!) with a remanufactured Bosch part, which seems identical to the original. I am hoping to solve the intermittent no-start issue I’ve been having lately (single click when turning key). Overall the job was fairly straightforward with no major issues.
Pros: fairly straightforward job
Cons: intermittent no-start issue

Getting 17k miles out of tires on an X7 is honestly *great*. Most are shot by 10-12k.
Pros: great mileage
Vehicle:
BMW X7
Mileage: 27359 km
Husband and I both ride a BMW GS 1250 on as little tarmac as possible...We changed the shocks and steering stabilizer because we ride more aggressive off-road stuff and the stock stuff was incapable of handling it.
Pros: better off-road handling
Cons: stock incapable handling

Cold starting the car below 10 degrees Celsius is a bit wobbly, I can see on the rpms and hear on the engine that it’s having a hard time the first 3 seconds. If I restart the engine on the same day or 1 minute after the first start, the engine starts nicely, the errors go from existent to non existent on ISTA. Scanned the car with ISTA, the errors every time are the 4 glow plugs. Injector corrections are good. Replaced all 4 glow plugs and the relay from BERU in 2023. The problem was the same. Replaced the relay again after finding the same 4 glow plug issues on ISTA with a Hitachi relay in 2024. The problem was the same. Replaced the relay with an OEM one in January 2025 and the problem still persisted. In the meantime I had to change the battery also but the issue wasn’t that. I have managed to find the Preheat function and tried that. Basically ISTA activates manually the glow plugs and does a check, the test performed was a success, no issues. The test was done with a cold engine, afterwards I started it and no wobbly effect was present.
Pros: preheat function successful
Cons: cold start issues

Not going to say yes or no,but get a battery check before buying it ???? Bmw warranty covers the battery up 6year or 100.000km,so no more battery warranty.. It has 6 modules to replace(not 1 battery) and last time i checked it was around 1000 per piece without labour. My 2020 330e with 98000km had this check and it was at 84% state of health,so this one might not be looking so great.. but get it checked anyway
Pros: battery check recommended
Cons: no battery warranty, costly module replacement

alloys cracked after 3 months driving (though I live in the country so the roads are shite, but those wheels are designed for lovely German roads not the crap we drive on in UK, never had an alloy crack before)
Cons: cracked quickly, not suitable for UK roads

For example on my 4 series if you took it to a dealership to have the front disks and pads done you are looking at over £900.
Cons: dealerships get very expensive
