Replacement Disks!

[Aliv6]

It's that time!

What's the cost of OEM replacements? Is the dealer the only option?!

Ca automotive sell replacement stoptech units which i believe are cheaper than o.e units. Maybe a used set?? Lots of csl owners sell their o.e disks on ebay for real cheap.

Byron,

Cheers, i'll have a look. 2nd hand disks would be a boost, as i want to upgrade 'eventually'

Are the Z4M and CSL the same brake set up?

yes

No 2nd hand ones forsale. But in all honesty unless they were near new i don't think i'd risk it!

Try bmminiparts, their prices are reasonable. Failing that try Joe at Soper BMW in Lincoln, I know it's a dealer but his discounts are pretty good.

Same Rotors yes, but different calipers and pads.

Calipers and pads are the same on Z4M and E46 CSL, too. Here is the part number cross-reference for front left brake:

and the front brake pads:

same part.

the CSL and z4m brake setup ARE identical!!

ali i see what you mean about the used discs but keep an eye on pistonheads/ebay. so many barely used CSLs have performance brakes on them they come up reguarly with under 10k miles on them, just out of intrest how worn are yours now? Are you seeing cracking yet?

My mate has 380mm Alcons on his CSL, but when I asked he said he was keeping his standard brakes safe for when he eventually reverts/sells.

it's the pedal vibration!! About a 2-3mm lip! But a mega Rumble when i touch the anchors!

That's is what i would do!

I wouldn't mind too much, but he only paid £2k for a 4-wheel set of the Alcons, and they only had 3 months and about 1000 miles on them.

We thought it was a scam, so decide to pick them up and pay cash on collection. It seems the only reason he didn't get many offers was the way he'd advertised them on eBay - silly sod simply listed them as 'Halcyons', and my mate was the only one who'd bid on them.

We did do the honourable thing though and point it out to him that he might get more if he relished them correctly, but he said a deal was a deal and he was happy with £2k despite him shelling out about £5k a few months earlier.

I wish I had the cash and the luck my mate has - as he's also been very lucky in picking up sets of genuine CSL wheels as spares for his.
