Anyone in SW London able to help with disc upgrade? SORTED

[hopz121]

Hi all,

I have all the bits needed to do the 325mm front disc upgrade to my 3.0i BMW Z4.

I have to following bits for the conversion and the correct tools for the job (or so i believe):

-Re-built Calipers and carriers from an E46 330Ci.
-New Brembo 325mm Disc's
-New wear sensor
-New anti rattle clips and carrier bolts
-New front braided hoses
-New EBC Redstuff pads
-1 Litre of Dot 4 fluid

I'm pretty handy with a spanner and stuff but could do with a hand bleeding the brakes etc as its a two person job.

Anyone in the SW London area done this before conversion or similar before and fancy giving me a hand some point?

Thanks

Ash

All sorted, had a go at doing it myself today and it was a success (I think) not sure if I have bleed the brakes properly as they don't feel great but I'm putting that down to the new disc's and pads first and I'll keep an eye on it.

sorry only just saw this but would have gladly held a spanner for you. upgrade looks good.
I have inpa software on a laptop if ever needed - not that I'm an expert at using it. always up for skill sharing.

Looks great, well done. I'm currently in the process of gathering together the parts needed for this upgrade. Trying to decide which discs to go for at the moment. I'll be paying someone to do it for me though as I have no knowledge of this stuff and I'm also going to be doing a few other mods at the same time.

Hey just wondered where people are buying their braided hoses from?
I had a look online for Goodridge hoses but could only find ones for the Z4M, are the lines the same on non M cars?
The best price I could find for the lines was at Camskill

Also just checked realoem and M's have different part numbers for the brake lines compared to non M. So any one any ideas which ones I should get?

I got mine from Ebay, the 3.0i and si varients use the same front hoses as an E46 330.

I didnt get the rears at the time but they can supply them as well if you wish, the company was mega helpful and they arrived the next day.
