What discs and pads for the front?

Chris H · 03-30-2012, 03:24 AM

Hi

I have just had the light come on for changing the front pads, BMW quoted me £205 for new pads fitted! Thats with a discount!

Is there a better aftermarket option? I had been looking at Brembo discs and pads, Are they any good or it is worth sticking with OE?

Thanks

Try GSF. They will be able to tell you oe fitment and will probably have them in stock at a fair bit less than BMW.

Does your car need discs and pads or just pads?
are you worried about service history for warranty ? (extended warranty?)

If not then buy the Textar pads ones from ECP as they make Pads for BMW anyway

£52.20 delivered with discount code Brake25
Then fit yourself or an indy

Remember to get a sensor if needed (just get from BMW for around £15)
