Bought a Mann Air Filter and center tail lamp bulb for my e39 for $15 bucks at Advanced just before Xmas.
Reviews of spare parts for BMW
I use Hawk 5.0 pads with R1 Concepts Drilled and Slotted rotors, stops on a dime and cuts alot of speed when adjusting going into corners very predictable
I did them 6 months ago. I used import direct rotors from o Reilly. and some brake pads from NAPA I think I used Zimmerman brake pads. I have 0 problems with them and only need to do my rears in a couple of months according to the wear sensor.
I've a 09 E89 3.0 and went with the Bosch coils about 2 years & 20k miles ago and haven't had any problems yet
I went with the akebono pads with Zimmerman coated rotors (semi floating) from FCP on my 17’ 340i with msport/ track handling package. so far so good with the pads. Very little dusting compared to the original ones. Only issue I ran into is the coated rotors and the bed in on the pads. I had to get them resurfaced at an auto shop since they had some extra runout.
Denso is the OE for AC Compressor, at least for my F10. Never replaced it since new, just had to replace the magnetic clutch few months ago after 7 years. The AC specialist I went to (also worked on my E39), they also suggested Denso for my AC compressor because it is serviceable.
I've got Continental Viking Contact 7's on my AWD M3 and they're also fantastic.
Also have had General Altimax on a Subaru that were fine as well as Michelin X-ice on a BMW x-1.
Bremi didn't work on my m3
Bremi had premature failures in the first few years of the e46 and were replaced as OEM by Bosch.
