I’ve winter-driven my F82 a couple seasons now, and the SottoZero 3s are honestly solid they’re not as ice-grippy as the Michelin Alpin 4s you ran, but they hook well enough in packed snow and feel way more stable than you’d expect on a big-power RWD car. The only thing I noticed is the Bridgestones feel a bit firmer on cold pavement, but nothing crazy.
Pros: hook well in packed snow, stable
Cons: firmer on cold pavement

I literally just did exactly this.. Had the BRAKE warning light on the dash and replace rear brakes on Idrive message on my 2019 X3 M40i at 32k miles.. rear rotors looked fine to me.. they were smooth and not grooved.. so i bought OEM ATE PADS and a BOWA rear brake sensor.. $128 shipped from Pelican parts and i was charged 1 hour of labor ($135) at my local Indy shop.. as others have mentioned youtube is your friend.. just a rear pads replacement is a pretty easy job w basic tools.. I should have done it myself but I decided the $135 cost was not worth my time and effort.
Pros: easy installation, inexpensive parts

I’m seeing some very small cracks on the cross-drilled holes. At what point does this become concerning? These are the front rotors on a new G82 M4 comp after about 6 track days using Pagid R29 Yellow pads which I’ve used before with no issues. My preference is to keep the stock rotors rather than switching to non cross drilled rotors
Pros: no issues with previous pads
Cons: small cracks on rotors

I track my G82 M4 with the stock PS4Ss for a few sessions when I first started. They are find for beginners and arguably better for learning. If you’re not pushing hard, I’ve seen them last a whole season or only two to three events if you’re actually driving to the limit. The biggest thing to watch out for is the lack of camber. The stock car provides about 2.5 degrees of front camber which will cord the outer shoulders should while leaving most of the tire relatively healthy.
Pros: good for beginners, better for learning, decent longevity (if not pushed)
Cons: poor longevity (if pushed), outer shoulder wear

My last car was a bmw M4 and it came with Pirelli p zeros. They were great in warm dry conditions but not great in the rain. They are summer tires so no grip at all under 40 degrees. They only lasted 12000 miles before they were under 4/32.
Pros: great in warm conditions
Cons: no grip in rain

Cylinders 1-3 were misfiring. They couldn't get the spark plug out of cylinder 3 because the other dealership had over tightened it. They had to get a special tool to remove it. The tool BROKE because apparently it was so overtightened and mis-threaded. They finally got it out yesterday and sent the cylinder to the machine shop to get the head off. I just got word that there is a hole in the piston and the valve head is completely gone. They are saying now that it has nothing to do with the spark plug being overtightened. He asked about driving through water, and road conditions. It was a dry day. Not an issue. They said I need a new motor at this point.
Pros: spark plug removed, new motor needed
Cons: overtightened spark plug, broken tool, hole in piston, valve head gone

In over 20+ years of owning BMWs, and 35 years of owning other brands, I’ve never had a windshield crack. Then yesterday my 2024 M4 X40i with 7000 miles got hit by a people and bam, not just a chip, it cracked halfway across. Unfortunately, mine is on the driver’s side, right at my eyeline.
Cons: cracked easily, chipped easily

I think the glass is just really soft. The windshield on my F82 was completely sandblasted when I bought it. I ended up replacing it with OEM BMW glass and now keep a much wider distance between me and the vehicles in front lol.
Cons: glass soft, sandblasted easily
