Rear Brakes Question 335i E90

My rear breaks are down to 30% left. My car warranty expired 3mths ago. A local shop that specializes in BMW/Mercedes quoted me $570 parts/labor with original OEM parts.
I was thinking on doing it my self but it's that a good price??

I looked online to see how much parts will be "getbmwparts.com and it added up to $451 just on parts.
I wish I can upgrade my brakes but no money for that plus my front brakes just got done under warranty 4mths ago.

Any help would be great
thanks

I would go with a blank rotors from a vendor on here like R1. You should be able to get rotors, pads, and the sensor for around 200-250. Its a relatively simple job if you DIY a lot. If not, just take the parts to that shop and have them install it.

I paid about $165 total when I replaced my rear rotors,pads and sensor. Non-OEM. I bought Mayle rotors and Akebono pads. I did the job myself. Took me about 2 hrs. Easy job just make sure you have the right tools.

You know the dealership can do it for the same price as well? The E90 from 2006-2010 are having great brake job deals. Ask them for the VALUE LINE pricing.
