So, got a great deal on genuine front discs from Rybrook BMW at £299.62 for the pair! They are listing them on ebay at this price, so gave them a call and it also includes next day delivery and send them via courier free of charge....so, a proper deal all in! I was going to buy them from eurocarparts on the 50% off deal a couple of weeks back, but forgot to pick them up and now they're out of stock... :oops:

I said I'd share the deal with the forum...so this is me doing that.
 
It is obscene how much they cost.
Back in 2015, when I owned an M3, Eurocarparts made a mistake on their ebay listing. Managed to get a pair of fronts for £91 delivered. £66 for one side and £25 the other. A lot of peoples orders were canceled or only got one side, but I was lucky and got both. Turned out I didn't even really need them once I took off the old ones to find they had loads of life left in them. :lol:
 
It's also worth noting that the M discs can be skimmed to bring them back to almost perfect condition at least once in their lifetime. I had them done on my E46 M3 for £15 each and they literally came back like new (albeit a couple of mm thinner).
 
Yeah, I get that...but these cars are 10 years old and most of the consumables really need changing at this time in their life.....£300 for 2 discs isn't really too bad IMO.
 
How much?? I can’t work out if your genuinely saying this is a good deal or not. Apologies if you are, I’m not trying to take the p##s.
 
275 each normally from bmw
Oem ate you can get for 300 the pair :)
So oe that's a great deal
 
I actually bought a set from Ryebrooks on eBay two weeks ago for £280, they’ve put the price up since. I don’t need them just now but at that price I’ll put them aside until required.
 
Great price. Drop some performance friction Z-rated pads in there (.11 compound) and you are good to go for as much fast road work as you can throw at it.
 
Performance friction Z-rated pads (.11 compound). When the discs are glowing a dull orange they do groan a bit but still work just fine. Importantly, also good from cold, no squeal and very low dust. Believe me, I have tried a lot over the years.

do you have a link to where you get them from?
 
I had the Performance friction pads all round on my M3, whilst good when pushing on, they were very poor when cold, much worse than standard.
 
0394.11 - Front
0548.11 - Rear

Is what you need. I think I got mine from ASPtrading.co.uk but it was a good while ago now. Quick google search turned up this which looks like an unbelievably good deal if it's genuine (and in stock)... http://www.ppcgb.com/products/performance-friction-z-rated-brake-pads-039411

Doesn't add up. I have them on my E46 M3 right now and they are perfect from cold - no issues whatsoever. Are you sure you had the .11 compound?
 
Nice...I'll get a set of those ordered. Will report back on the initial view once I've changed the discs/pads at the end of the month.

*Really wish I could do this job myself for the challenge, but fear I'll bugger it up and have to call Mr AA man out to help out!

What doesn't add up? Performance pads that work at higher temps are generally not very good when cold, this is the case for most performance pads, some more so than others.

I knew them as PF Z rated, otherwise I can't remember, it was 3 years ago. When stone cold they were poor though, once I had to stamp on the brake to slow the car up to make a turn I wasn't expecting when stone cold, much harder than if 'normal' pads were fitted. This is why I now go for Ferodo Premiers when doing pads.
