Basic upgrades for reliability

[jfstringer]

Hey everybody, first post! I've been learning so much from everybody here.

I'm waiting on delivery of my stratosphere blue 3.0 Premium MT, on track to be here later this month. I won't be diving too deep into mods right off the bat, but I would like to know if there are some recommended changes or upgrades aimed at improving reliability, durability, and functionality.

Thank you, and I look forward to being a part of the group!

My build blog is way way behind. I’m done with most things. But the stuff I have already there is what I recommend.

It's a pretty reliable car stock. It's not until you start heavily modding, that you may run into issues.

My pea sized brain believes if you can change anything under the hood from either plastic or rubber to metal is always better.

Not always, metal doesn't flex.

Great point. That’s why I added the “pea sized.”

Welcome

For those things, like any car, replace stuff as they break with upgraded ones. There‘s nothing that really needs to be upgraded imo for daily driving. I’d personally pay out of pocket to not use my local Toyota dealer. So find a good BMW mechanic as a backup, as things come up. And get a code reader like the one below

OBDLink CX Bimmercode Bluetooth... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NFLL3NT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Most “problems” will be electronic and you can code out (or add) a lot of stuff with BimmerCode.
