Cotswolds will do Discs for £296 shipped with the forum discount. It'd need to be a bit of a deal to go with yours Ed, sorry.
TomK, what dealer was that? Seems very cheap, given the above.

If you do not track don't bother with bbk in my opinion. Uprated pads and fluid and the best thing of all, cool air ducts (have to be custom made but will stop early over heating and resulting brake fade and excessive pad/disc wear). HOWEVER bbk look amazing and will definitely improve the car big time! It's just the cost outlay is huge so on balance not really worth it unless you use it on track.

The price I had was with a discount through Harry Fairbairn who I usually find to be the cheapest, it was a few months ago so perhaps they have gone up a bit.

Tidy, will ask if they'll match it. For the price, I'll just go OEM!

Yeah doesn't look great that. Could be fine though, have you checked the wear marker?

Tom you are da man! I hope those guys can ship outside UK with a logical cost. Do you know the specific email that I can contact them and with whom I have to speak?TomK wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 5:20 pm

Well thanks, if asking for a quote qualifies that! It's BMW, whether they have protocol about shipping stuff outside their territory or not I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me.FD3S wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 9:35 pmTom you are da man!

Why do you ask? Is the price so much higher in your country from BMW? Have you asked recently?
The contact details for Cotswold are on the link above, harry fairbairn will I'm sure from experience beat that price, their contact details I'm sure you can find, ask for parts department

Front and back discs around 1000 euros and I asked them before one month. It is big the price difference. Thanks for the info, I will contact them tomorrow.

That's pretty crazy as the price is driven from BMW in germany, the reason the costs fluctuate for us is the £. If I were you I would be looking for a price from a german dealer as you probably won't get done so much on the exchange rate, I don't know.
