Great feel after bedding them in a couple days ago. It's difficult to say they're better than OEM since I waited way too long to do the brakes. So far very little, if any dust which I was really focused on.

OEM M performance, should have went with it from the start. ACS was nothing but headaches with fitment.

60k mile service, two cylinders closest to the front are a pain if you don't completely remove the intake tubing from the turbos which I was not going to mess with.

Getting up there, luckily I went from 60-70 miles a day to maybe 10-15.

80k miles, nice! What was needed outside of routine maintenance?

Really not much out of the oridnary that you see throughout my thread.

A couple years back I had to replace the headlight switch. They would randomly flicker when sitting in my garage when turning the car off at the end of the day. Appeared again recently so I'm not sure if its interaction from the light sensor and my ceramic tint.

One thing thats not really BMW thing but a AC Schnitzer thing. I think the ACS springs for their exhaust flappers have a stronger spring rate. I've had to replace the exhaust module twice. Doubt I'll get ACS in the future if I get another BMW.

I've had to rethink oil changes and time rather than mileage.

Awesome build thread. I enjoyed looking all of your pictures. Our cars are almost twins.
I have a med blue 2018.

Keep up the mods!

I am thinking about doing springs and m5 sway bars….

Man, haven't really had time to get back in the forum but was great catching up on this one! IIRC we were building at about the same time with many of the same options. I haven't been as diligent in documenting my journey though. Glad to see yours is still going strong at 80085 mi. 😜
