I would not say it's been totally trouble free. It's never left me stranded but I have had things like both throttle body banks replaced under warranty for running harsh at slow speeds. And a lot of little things. Power folding mirror motor, power seat motor and cable, back door weather seal, replaced Nav unit, broken strut bar links...... All covered. I am more worried about what might be about to happen which is why I asked what to check.

Well I don't track the pig or anything but something slightly more aggressive then stock would be nice.

The FSDs have trick valving that is stiffer for low speed inputs (cornering), and less stiff for high speed inputs (bumps/potholes/etc.). In general, they act like stiffer than stock shocks, except when the road is rough. I haven't heard anything about reliability problems, but you should check around.

I really wanted to put a set on the E46 M3 (possible with camber plates), but decided against them based on the hugely negative feedback.

Maybe it's an E39 specific issue? seems like E39 guys have trouble getting past 15k with them.

Hey all Opinons on this pkg?
http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-25...ge-e39-m5.aspx I was going order this today. Not looking for anything better then stock and this looks to be a good deal. Thanks in advance for the advice

Can't comment on the price, but looks like good components all around.

IIRC I ended up finding the best deal on the brakes for my m3 from Turner when I was shopping. (I went with OE rotors and Stoptech pads.)

Thanks guys. I went with it since its all contained in one pkg and I needed everything listed. Good to know that are reputable components.
As far as I know these are the original brakes. The shop is also doing some warrenty work at the same time. All new front bushings and a new guibo. Next big ticket non covered ware item early next year, shocks and struts. I really should keep is at that point.
