Price of replacement

[ronk]

Price sounds about right for main stealers but then I'd never use them for things like brakes, Independent will be half that price.

I’m waiting of a quote from a local garage

This is BMWs policy now that you replace discs and pads together. I was told that the theory is based on the fact that thinner discs:-
1) Cost less to make
2) Weigh less to improve MPG
3) Reduce the overall production and showroom price (into Company car tax brackets)
4) Allow BMW to claw it all back on the Servicing once you've bought the car.

Makes sense from their side when you think about it on a massive scale

Just had a call from an indi' who is motorsport based - He has quoted £530 for discs and pads.
There seems to be a doubt about the disc size tho. unsure if they are 340 or 370 Dia
