M front disc's and pads
- Thread starter Kingash
- Start date
Paza has no excuse ; the OP hasn't any prior experience of an M so that's a little bit harsh. When I bought my first Z I could see the tarmac down through the engine bay - didn't even register that there was an undertray missing until a few weeks later. Some things you just don't register I guess.

Well you would now somebody pointed it out
Actually, rotors would be the first thing I'd check - looking at their condition can you you an indication of how the car was driven. I'd also would be looking at the pads to see if it still had the BMW factory dust makers on there.

I think this should have been done before i looked at the car really, i don't do a lot of searching on here and going by the posts i had seen by Patrick all seemed well, i do have the task of getting the car straight now though.
Funnily enough I've been in contact with the bloke from Scotland who owned the car, he's after another M coupe now as it goes, nice chap and liked a track day or two, so thats why i want to do another inspection 2 next year as i want the car spot on. May cost me a few quid but I'm planning on keeping the car for a few years.
paza...... absolutely disgusted at that forum member for this.... Their is no a chance on EARTH he didn't know about this. Totally disgraceful, he should be banned from this forum imo or at LEAST banned from selling anything on the forum. One thing you can't mess around with is brakes, if this was me, i can tell you know, paza would be seeing me at his front door for a chat. Playing with peoples lives with no regard.

Well here's the thing... They're not M disc on it, they are too small. Smaller then the rears as it goes, i dont know what they are off at the moment as the car isn't going in yet, but i think somewhere along the line someone has just stuck "z4 discs" on and thought it was fine, or they have tried cutting cost corners. Either way im left with a big bill and crap brakes.
Here's a pic of the front, you can see the unusual wear... And how small the discs are
He sold his Roadster? He only bought that off ME about 6 weeks ago! + these are the wheels from it as he swapped them over!

(which means he even saw the disc when he swapped the wheels)

He sold it already....... I am hurt 
Hmm. I saw the coupe very shortly after he got it. I thought he said he'd bought it from a dealer who wanted shot of it but my memory may be faulty. He did say he'd bought it in Aberdeen and that within a few miles of setting out en route home the engine warning light came on and he was actually on the way home from an Indy having had it fixed. No mention of brakes, it had dark replica CSLs on it.
A few days later I swear I saw it pull past the front of Ebley Tyres in Cirencester where I was waiting while Immie was being MOT'd. No personal plate on it so I assumed it was another one. Anyway, if the new owner is in or around Cirencester do say hi as I'm local.
Hope you get it sorted.
