Been really happy with the Kumho Ecsta PA51, as they are a bit more frisky than my previous set of tires which were Conti DWS 06+… although I generally find all seasons to be disappointing.
low miles 10 yr old vehicle means its possible it has the original BMW factory installed battery. Some of those can last 10 years, I had a 2013 bmw 3 series and in 2022, I finally changed the original battery.
use Mann filters from now on, can’t go wrong with them.
Carbotech has served me very well on my M6
Michelin Pilot Sports are expensive tires. I run a version of these on my BMW.
I did take my run flats off and replace with pirelli p zeros all round and it's made such a difference to the ride quality.
For me, this car is all about the brakes in terms of gaining lap time. You need to really trail hard into and during the corner and of course it’s a rocket after that.
Even though the Meyle HD ones can be replaced, I think Meyle just recommends one replacement. The aluminum that the ball joints are pressed into is considered a sacrificial metal, so the installation process kinda hoses the control arm and, in general, is considered a one-time install.
Don't buy B4s unless you are selling the car soon. Extremely high failure rate past 1 year.
Those Akebono pads suuuuuuuuuuck. Super clean, no brake dust, but just garbage performance.
