Hi all
On my most recent MOT I had an advisory on front discs & pads. MD has quoted me £454 :'( Obviously i can get this done elsewhere for a lot less.
Does anyone have any recommendations as to which particular brake parts manufacturer I might use?
As always your help and advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Steve

Have a look on Eurocarparts for the bits. I think BMW use a mix of Pagid and Textar. You will need to know your disc diameter as there are three variants depending upon engine version.

Thanks for the advice, i've opted for padgit, not the cheapest, but highly recommended.
