I think I have a siticking caliper on the front.
When I brake from 70mph or so, there is a shaking and rumbling at the wheels. I've checked the balanced of the wheels, got new discs and pads, tried had braking to clean deposits all to no avail.
When I retract the calipers it seems to go away for a bit, so I suspect sitcky / calipers / seals.
I'm due to start a new contract soon and need to get it sorted so I'm thinking of just putting on new calipers and then refurbishing the old ones and selling at a later date.
Anyone got any reccomendations for replacements? ECP are doing them for £138 +£24 back. Which is a little steeper than I expected.

its fairly comon
I am sure you could buy a rebuild kit. I think i may have a set of old calipers for 3.0l if you wanted them to rebuild and fit.

That’s cheap considering BMW would want about 4 times that!

Full set of refurbed calipers on eBay https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 3878983952
A bit more but if you go for this you can always sell your old calipers.
Or try a local motorfactors. I found then cheaper than ecp
