Smells like Satan’s ******e burning, but works really well.

On the back of the bottle of BMW coolant, it shows going from 50/50 to 60/40 concentration only increases the boiling point by 4C. Although, the higher the water concentration the better it cools.

Not needed at all if you adjust your mirrors properly.

Except doing this you are loosing the constant peripheral vision to see cars around you without even having to look. It’s amazing how much you can see in your peripheral vision when you pay attention to it.

Exactly!!! The worst part is, many car brands have mirrors that can not be adjusted far enough enough to be adjusted properly.

This is absolutely correct and the way we teach it in advanced driver education. If you can see the side of the car in your mirrors they are WAY THE HELL off.

The vast majority have them too far in. They are for reducing blind spots, not for looking behind you. With mirrors adjusted properly, and learning “wide vision” as in using your peripheral vision, you can see a full 360 deg around the vehicle while still looking directly ahead. This is one...

If you can see the side of your car in your wing mirrors, they are WAY off and you will have huge blind spots.

BMW has been using DOT4 LV forever. Good stuff, especially when it hits -30C. Don’t see a problem using it in everything.

Miele or Bosch Benchmark. Buy once, cry once.

When you check the tire pressure on a newer BMW in the iDrive, it will give you recommended pressures based on ambient conditions if the sensors are asleep, or tire temperature when the sensors have woken up by driving. Recommended pressures will be the same as door jamb pressures at about 20C.
