i just put in a 3.64 finned zhp diff in my 325i but it’s auto. it completely woke up the car i love it, but the 3.64 is pretty rare .
Pros: woke up the car, improved performance
Cons: pretty rare

My understanding is the OEM brakes have well-rounded performance. In spider chart terms, it would look like a round pizza with one slice taken off, and that would be due to dust. They still excel with high performance, solid longevity all at a reasonable cost
Pros: high performance, long lasting
Cons: lots of dust

If it's still functional, remove it, dry the interior carefull with a heat gun and apply a silicon clear sealant around the headlight-- where the black and clear plastic meet. Put everything back together.
Pros: silicon sealant fixed problem

Turbocharger engineer/Ex-mechanic here; stick to recommended intervals or earlier, old oil will turn to sludge and feck thinks up massively. It is very common for me to receive; especially BMW turbochargers with sludge that has blocked up oil passages internally and cause the turbo to fail.
Pros: prevent sludge buildup
Cons: sludge blocks oil passages

I\u2019ve had both a pre-facelift M3 and LCI M3 CS. Honestly they are both great and I think the LCI is a nice new interpretation of the halos. Alternatively, I don\u2019t think the pre-LCI needed a new interpretation. Either way, they are both better than newer version, which still look to me like they are upside down.
Pros: great new interpretation
Cons: newer version upside down

I’ve had my glass replaced in 2016 on a 2015 435i with heads up display and insurance covered the OEM replacement BMW logos and all. Only complaint was the tech put a small scratch in my heads up with his jagged ass vacuum cleaner tip but he owned up to it and wrote and signed it on the receipt in case I wanted to make a claim about it. It didn’t affect the heads up so I let it go.
Pros: OEM replacement, BMW logos, insurance covered
Cons: tech scratched HUD

Add me to the club of owners who are being hit with $8K+ repair bills because of the faulty ac compressors in the 2014-2015 i3.
Recently, a random sound started after I turned on the a/c, so I immediately turned it off. No warnings or notifications came up about anything malfunctioning. I took my car in for a diagnostic test and nothing came back. They checked off that the a/c was working properly.
Not satisfied, I eventually took it to another dealership and they said that they couldn’t reproduce the problem. I finally was able to take it to another BMW dealership when the sound came up recently . The service attendant immediately noted that it sounded like the compressor was going out.
The next business day, I took it to my normal BMW service center and they set it up to be looked at. After I explained the problem with the compressor they quoted a diagnostic charge of $170. They connected it to a diagnostic code reading device and saw codes for the compressor. First, they quoted me $3,200 to replace the compressor and parts (labor included), but then after I approved the service they called me back a few hours later and told me they needed to look further into the problem, and that it would cost an additional $600.
They concluded that metal broke off of the compressor and contaminated the connecting parts.
The new repair total was now $8K, with over $4K for labor. The compressor, condenser, and HV battery accumulator need to be replaced. A flush is also needed. How was none of this discovered before I told them what to look at. Eventually they will need dedicated EV specialist.
I immediately called BMW’s EV department for assistance with this issue. This is clearly a known issue. How did they not catch this before it was even a $3K issue, my car has had multiple diagnostic test run.
A few years ago, my last car (C-Max) had an issue with the transmission, but the manufacturer replaced it at no cost because they acknowledged the problem with that particular model. I didn’t have to call them at all. They even gave me a loaner car. I have loved driving my 2015 i3 for the last 3 years. After this, I think I may be a “one and done” BMW owner.
If you are currently thinking about purchasing an i3, refrain from purchasing any i3 model with this common problem.
Cons: faulty compressor, high repair cost

My mechanic said that a small amount of metal flakes in the engine oil filter is normal, but the amount here is significant and shows theres a something going wrong.
Cons: significant metal flakes
