Door, trunk, and hood gaskets might be a good thing to have around... although with my E36 I found some in decent shape from an old friend on UUCdigest.

The brakes in these cars are unique and so I already have another set of Cool Carbon pads.

In general, though, there are so few E8x cars compared to, say, E36 and E46 that I have to imagine part availability might become an issue down the road?
Why don’t you like Meyle products? They’re one of the few OEM ish parts that I haven’t seen negative reviews about.
