Best price on full OEM brake kit?

I have a 2012 E92 M3 with 70k on it and its time to do a full brake job.

Who has the best price on OEM or OEM comparable rotors, pads and sensors?

Turner/ECS, Bimmerworld, and FCP Euro are all really close on price. All four are excellent to do business with.

Don't make the mistake I did....

Make sure to buy the rotors through FCP euro so you will have a lifetime replacement whenever you want. They are very expensive and run about 1k all four wheels.

I am still on original rotors at 9 years and 90k. The fronts are definitely worn past the limit but I think if I bought another set they would last me that long again and I doubt I'll still have the car.

Is the warranty transferable? I only plan to keep the car for about another 2 years.

I bought Zimmerman Fronts and rears which are from the supplier of the OEM rotors.
416.96 shipped for rears
456.96 shipped for fronts
873.92 Total 4 Corners shipped

Got them from PartsGeek surprisingly and I think i used a discount code.

Parts numbers:

Fronts
W0133-1846064
W0133-1846065
Rears
W0133-1846066
W0133-1846067

Exact same as the rotors I took off minus the BMW stampings.

I checked FCP and the warranty is not transferable, but it ends up not being much more for they full kit than elsewhere.

The FCP warranty is a still nice even if I dont keep the car that long. If I overheat one rotor its worth it.

I just have to decide if the Textar pads are quiet enough for me.

Textar is an OEM supplier and you might literally have them on the car right now -- they should be pretty quiet on the street.

IME, there's really no difference between any of the big OEM brake pad suppliers.

No, if you are only planning to put 30k or less on I would buy through the cheapest website and get Zimmerman.

I bought mine for very cheap at AutoHausAZ
