Just got my ZM back after spending a night and day at Darren Wood. I wanted then to give a few potential issues a look over and confirm if I did indeed have warped disks.

Well I now know I have warped front disks and I also needed 4 tappets for valve clearances which were also checked.

Top service all round and bar the brakes a clean bill of health. They were also loved my car.

Would recommend highly!
 
He is not far from me,and we do a little work now and again with him..

There a good lot of lads..

As regards warped discs..... its a bit of a myth,its usually bonded deposits on the disc surface. With braking sequences,this can be gotten rid of.

Unless the discs are heavily corroded of course.

Have a read here...

I've been and they are willing to help but couldn't get to the bottom of the vibration I get in my car intermittently. I realise its intermittent and odd to reproduce but had hoped they'd have some thoughts on it. I gave them a few quid for at least getting it on the ramps for me and I think they'd be fine sorting out things that are obvious or for servicing but I don't think they're that equipped for some very specific issues like drivetrain vibration or whatever the bloody hell is causing this.
 
Saw your motor today , Tasty.
Mine was in for oil service an pads all round.
Bad news was both rear top mounts are shot and 3 coils on the way out.
More expense
:)
Wouldnt go anywhere else top lads

Would have to agree here I had 4 sets of front disks fitted in only 23k of motoring !! All under BMW warranty and still have brake judder but only when they warm ? So will try what stop tech recommend !
 
I've never had a warped disc.

I've had a 'warped disc' feeling after heavy braking over prolonged laps on a track day, but that's disappeared after a couple of days of normal driving.
