Cotswold seem to have put their prices up, I enquired the other day on cutters (where they are a sponsor) and they said £229 delivered. Harry Fairbairn still doing them for £168 a pair if you ask on the site they sponsor. :)

Sorry not quite sure of forum etiquette surrounding this but given we have no bmw dealer sponsors on here it wouldn't be too bad to say that if you google "harry fairbairn forum sponsor bmw" it shouldn't take you too long to work out where to go., they have info on there :wink:

Sorry not to reply sooner :( I thought i did last week but some kind of phone malfunction it seems.
If anyone is interested, the front discs are £285 for the pair from them.
I've just bought a set of rears at £168 which are in no way needed but I can't ever see them being cheaper, so they'll be going into the (overflowing) store (attic). Sadly my front discs are not bmw sized so I need to shell out 600 for those badboys :o boo, especially as they seem to only last a year. The bmw rears go on forever relatively.

It’s probably Sopers mmm-five is thinking of that gives forum discounts. They’re the dealers that used to let you have OEM CSL wheels without the chassis number.

It’s not them :wink:

I’m returning my discs to Cotswold (£250) and buying from Harry Fairbairn (£168)
