I still have original timing chain on mine and it has 185,000kms on it. Hasn’t skipped a beat yet
I just replaced both batteries in my 2018 740iX. Was original battery (build date was Aug 2017) so actually lasted 8 years which was surprising given other problems I had with the car!
I’ve always just used the Icon’s on my last three 5 Series over the years. They are more expensive, but work good which is what I’m looking for.
I still have the original BMW battery on my 2005 e46 325i , I used a battery tester on it and still say it’s good
Definitely. The Z4 is plenty comfortable, and the ZF 8-speed auto is terrific in any situation.
Everyone likes to shit on BMW for being too complicated when it comes to having to register batteries with the car, but this is the result. Batteries in other cars die way more quickly.
I just changed my 2018 F36’s battery a few months ago. They really do last a long time.
The 3.12s have a LOT of bite and can make modulation tough on certain cars. On my E46 M3, I run DS UNO or DS1.11s. That's with the AP race kit front & rear. Didn't like the 3.12s for that application.
The only thing I didn't put right was I bought good year tires and I'm regretting it. After my engine rebuild, the cheap tires are just too easy to spin in the rain.
BMW 7 series was an absolute nightmare. Air suspension failures multiple times in the first year. Each time required the car to be in shop for 4 weeks for them to order parts under warranty. I’d get it back only for the air suspension to go out on another side. They couldn’t replace all in one go since it was a warranty and needed it to fail before placing a claim and again the 4 week wait for parts…
