Looking for some part numbers?

OK I am being a tad lazy here by asking rather than looking, sorry :oops: , but some sensible guidance also needed. :D

However I am looking for the part numbers of the 4 caliper seal service kits please?

Also, I believe the locating pin bushing kit is a worthwhile service item as well if I have it all in bits, but is this worth going to solid bushes and again part numbers/ location to get from?

Now this is the can of worms question.....pads.....I almost dread asking this, but what are my sensible options for 3000miles a year at a reasonable pace, perhaps 2 track days but not wanting anything too extreme that pits the rims. I used to used mintex 1144 and 1155 compound pads on the westfields, but am lead to believe that the std BMW pads are themselves not too bad?

Fluid, Motul 660 seems the best fluid advice, again.....best place to purchase and how much do we think we will need for a complete flush and fill?

Braided lines, Goodrich I assume, so are these best purchased direct as I pass Silverstone daily?

Lastly, and this is a personal one, what colour callipers on an interlargos roadster, blue, red or yellow are the current ideas and favouring blue.

You lazy bugger! Here's your starting point: http://mfans2.com/parts/catalog/E86...wse/brakes/rear_wheel_brake_brake_pad_sensor/

http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=45293 I think these are a great mod.

I've found Yellowstuff are very acceptable with the advantage that they don't make the alloys as filthy as some pads.

For a full brake line flush IIRC you'll need just over 1 litre.

I bought my Goodridge hoses from CA Automotive.
 
Bushes ordered from eBay in the USA.
Pads ordered from Questmead....mintex 1155 compound all round
Discs on reserve from euro parts

Fluid and seal kits and braided lines to order.


This is hard work


Then I have to strip paint and fit the lot.
