Hi,

Sorry to pester you guys on the forum with this but I really want to get it sorted ASAP! Not getting much help from BMW and no responses from emails sent to various online sellers.

Brakes

Need new rear discs, pads and sensor on my M Coup and am thinking this might be the best option:

For discs: Left - http://www.bmminiparts.com/PartDetails.aspx?InventoryId=CE9CE500-704B-423C-9324-BA42D81B2A3A Right - http://www.bmminiparts.com/PartDetails.aspx?InventoryId=0A1C7035-2378-41F3-8C65-D7D89A7D706F

For pads: http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/BMW_Z4M+Coupe_3.2_2006/p/car-parts/car-service-parts/regular-service/brake-pads/?101110248&1&3518f979cf62c76deaf53e6a48107875b7ab0be1&000036. (Says priced per axle so assume this is both sides?!). Is Pagid an OE fitment? Here are the ones BMMINIPARTS do - http://www.bmminiparts.com/PartDetails.aspx?InventoryId=C18734AB-7657-4FFF-A1A0-BEA88D2C2528. Would it be better to get those?

Sensor: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Z4-M-E85-Roadster-and-E86-Coupe-Rear-Brake-Pad-Wear-Sensor-Genuine-BMW-/370552627624?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5646a861a8. Good price I think...

Do these all look like the correct parts and good prices? Would be £214.39 plus whatever delivery is from BM Mini parts...

Springs

I'm going to stick with OEM. Only need to replace O/S rear but will do both sides for peace of mind. Eibach etc is tempting but I can't do it myself and don't feel the need to shell out hundreds for front aswell. Have discovered the part number is 33507836827 and BMMINIPARTS have responded saying they will be £72.96 each. Anyone know of a cheaper price?

Many thanks

Woody
 
Woody,

Bmminiparts is a good place to get your discs from, you can also get equivalents from Eurocarparts, there was a guy selling cheap disks in the for sale section, he was able to get them cheaper so try that option too.

OEM pads are Textar, a few people on here run Stoptech from CA Automotive, I'm sure the Pagids will be ok. These are fine

£70 quid seems about right per spring, you can replace the rears yourself very easily, jack up car, undue one bolt and the sping will drop down.
