Usually people change rotors when they change pads bc pads last so long. How did you know/decide to keep the same rotors? |

Covid has been keeping miles down - '18 ZCP with 14k. Blown out radiator at 1300 (box cutter impact), and eccentric shaft servo replaced at 10k or so (issue was present from 2k miles onward, but took pushing dealer on it), good after that so far..

I don't see much point in a stage 2 tune if you're not doing anything for handling and grip, or using it on track. This car barely holds traction at stock power levels in a straight line until you're above legal speeds I suppose some people do it to show off when drag racing on highways at night or something, I dunno. I'm sure it gives some great thrills when flooring it and leaving skidmarks on the road but besides that there isn't much to it. Edit: To add, when I'm not afraid to break warranty but still want to play it safe, I think I'd flash a CS or GTS tune. Can't be too bad if BMW still sold cars with a warranty on that software. And I'd imagine that's still nicely driveable on a mostly stock standard M4. Be real, these are still crazy high power levels! Last edited by maddmatth; 06-09-2020 at 05:36 AM.. |

Been at different stages of tuned for last 60k. As far as crank hub, I do think the crank hub is overblown for stock to bolt-on F8Xs. I don't use the kickdown thats about it. With that said if I upgrade the turbos i'll pin the crank hub as well while i'm at it.

2019 M4 (18 months old). Now at 75,100 miles.. Tuned with BM3 stage 1 91 oct since 5,000 miles. No issues at all. As in none. I apparently will need my first front brake pad replacement in 6,000 miles, the rears still have 19,000. This is super surprising to me as I drive my card hard. Apparently a few red-lines per day keeps the Dr. away.

Rotor replacement is not complicated. The only issue that you may have is the removal of the screws that holds the rotor to the hub. If you are in the snow belt, those screws may be corroded and you need to be very careful to use the right size tool and not strip it or you'll turn a 2 hour job into several hours. I'm speaking from experience when I did mine on my M235xi. I have not replaced anything on my M3 yet since it's only 7.6K miles.

If not, how much did you pay, if you can recall? Quote:
Is your model just before LCI or after ? I thought the LCI was 2016?

Correct, they were faulty and leaking so warranty kicked in. I have LCI taillights and Xenon headlights, so not sure :

Anyone can give input. I'm at 32k miles, 4 years old should be at 50k in about a year and a half and plan on doing it around then. The service kit is only 250 off ECS, but I hear people say its 1k alone to service it |

The DCT in my old FBO 335i is still rock solid at 180000km/112000 miles, still performs perfectly. Serviced it once at around 150000 km/95k miles. Unsure if past owners serviced it. Seeing as this is just a newer generation of the same trans, I expect it will be just as reliable. |

2019 CS, picked it up 11 months ago, just hit 10k miles... working from home and not driving it daily since covid so it's a garage queen. I take it out once in a while on the weekend back roads with buddies just to keep it running.
