So the calipers and carriers arrived today from an X3. Excellent condition. Bonus: pipes better condition than mine and almost brand new OEM pads!
Question is what discs ( I know there has been a bit of discussion on brakes recently) but what has been your preference????
Standard plain
Drilled
Drilled and Grooved
Dimpled and grooved
Grooved
:?
 
I fitted these. Work & look great.

EBC Ultimax on mine. Great look and near silent once bedded in (more than can be said for many drilled/slotted discs)
 
Thanks guys ! As C10jeeper has identified are they Mtechs noisy??? But more importantly what's the stopping power??
C10 I'll check out the EBC disc's
 
Mtec work very well, i have fitted them to my last few bm's with no problems.my fronts are not noisy ! But when I fitted the rears there was a little whizzy noise for a few weeks till they were beded in, now fine. Think you get that with all drilled & grooved discs. :thumbsup:
 
Thanks again. Looked at the Mtech one's............... good to know they are good quality
 
I went for drilled & grooved, they done me front & rear with mintex pads delivered for £189 if I remember right. Phone them there very helpful. Might be worth mentioning the forum. Ask about the coating they offer,I didn't & the discs were rusty after a few months. Now painted,save yourself double work. Hope this helps :thumbsup:
