I bought my set of PIAA blades (their frameless model) back in 2014 for my r56 and they are still working like they are new. Mind you, there is a bit of dead zone in the bottom end of the passenger side because the passenger blade can’t touch the glass due to the shape. I got used to that and it doesn’t bother me at all.
Pros: long lasting, like new
Cons: dead zone on passenger side

Michelin X-Ice Snows through Costco turned my R56 from a one-wheel-drive potato into a competent winter vehicle, all while still being quiet on the highway like a summer tire.
Pros: competent winter vehicle, quiet
Cons: one-wheel-drive potato

Stock pads are terrible for longevity. They have to do too many different things from factory, buy a set of aftermarket to your needs. I had a set of Carbotech which lasted 50k in the front and over 60k in the rear, with aggressive driving.
Pros: lasted 50k-60k
Cons: terrible for longevity

How is your local dealer charging 300$ for an air filter? That feels off to me, our filters cost maybe 60$ and we charge 29.95 install(CAD).
Pros: cheap filter, cheap install
Cons: expensive dealer filter
