Will not go back. Love to quick launch, quiet drive, no maintenance. Still on original disks and PADS at 180,000 km (120k miles)
Pros: quick launch, quiet drive
Mileage: 180000 km
Best things I did for my g80 was 1) Mishimoto skid plate to protect my oil cooler 2)Ceramic brake pads because the red dust that will engulf the lower half of your car after a 1/2 mile drive is insane.
Pros: less dust
Cons: red dust
Vehicle:
BMW
I've been driving it with a Stage 2 tune for 4 years and put another 50,000km on it and I've had 0 repairs. Maintenance is more expensive of course, bigger tires, bigger brakes, more oil, it all adds up but the B58 is super reliable.
Pros: B58 super reliable
Cons: expensive maintenance
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 50000 km
Oh, I did have rust pop on one of the original brake pads so I had to replace that this spring - very little pad wear though!
Pros: very little wear
Cons: rust pop
Just did brakes and rotors in my 2022 model 3 with 189,000 km\nFirst big bill $3000
Pros: first big bill
Cons: expensive
Mileage: 189000 km
The brakes are nb, I got my car custom ordered (0 miles) and needed to change my brakes @22k miles, my quote was 3k, ended up having my buddy for it for me with 3rd party for like 1.1k
Pros: 3rd party cheaper
Cons: brakes not good
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 22000 km
E65 730D, squeaky brakes and suspension, engine mounts shot, interior semi clean apart from the ashtray
Pros: interior semi clean
Cons: squeaky brakes, suspension
Vehicle:
BMW
To be fair Tesla brakes are not great. Combined with regen? Sure it’s adequate, but drive a German vehicle and see what brakes are about.
Pros: adequate with regen
Cons: brakes are not great
