Replacing brake pads Z4M

[motco]

I have searched, honestly, but I cannot find a post that details the step-by-step procedure for brake pad changing on an 'M'. Anyone know where there's any information please?

Are they very different to the standard set-up?

No, identical.

I follow the steps outlined here: http://m3.madrussian.net/diy_front_brake_pads.shtml and http://m3.madrussian.net/diy_rear_brake_pads.shtml

Not a Z4M but the procedure is identical.

No, identical.

Thought so, I've posted a short guide with some practical tips (shifting sticky bolts, bedding in pads etc) for the fronts including checking and fitting discs if needed,

BMW TIS instructions for front pads, rear pads and rear shoes(albeit for M3 CSL which uses the same brakes)

Chaps - many thanks! I didn't know whether they were the same or not so this is most valuable. The car is not mine - I have a humble 2.2 Z3 Sport - and I am doing it for a relative so cannot have the car for as long as I'd like.

Thanks again - useful answers and from an excellent forum.
