Thanks for all the quick replies, I’ve decided to just bite the bullet and get new discs aswell, but I think looking at the pads I’ll be more than fine to drive the car until they arrive. Thanks all

God not sure I could deal with the beeping and warnings for another thousand miles

Think I will, trouble will be The garage is 300 miles north. Will cost me more in fuel and tbh at this point I just wanna get them done and not worry about it.

It would seem I got caught up in buying a new car and no didn’t check the brakes I guess I just took it for granted the brakes would be good and felt fine on the test drive. Not a mistake I will make again! Plus the spirited driving in subsistent days I’m sure didn’t help the wear :D :D

Hi all! I’ve just purchased a z4 35i sdrive, I’ve enjoyed it for a few weeks and the front brake light came on as I was driving home from the dealer 250 miles north of me. So I need to replace the pads and discs but can’t seem to find a place to order them in the uk, are discs really likely to...
