Which brakes? Confused
- Thread starter mrmseries
- Start date
They were being sold by demon tweeks - spoke to them and they said that they arent in production anymore. Apparently EBC had a big batch made and then sold out.
No cheap option of getting the brakes done on these cars. I'd put it at around £600 all in for brake disks and pads - front+rear

Yup you'd be doing very well to get all that (OEM stuff) for £600. OEM discs all round cost about £540 alone for me, and I thought that was cheap!
I would say possibly upgrade pads while your at it, won't cost a lot more and you can get better than the ATE ones for sure. Would stick with ATE discs though. Like I said earlier ECP are doing rear discs for around £200 at the moment, lisited as Pagid but you actually get:
And hopefully end up with something like this:
If you replace the handbrake shoes by the way, go for OEM, I ditched the Pagid ones as I've heard they're poor and don't hold well compared to the ATE BMW part
So I got Pagid front disks and pads ordered from Euro carparts
Zimmerman rears + pads
brakewear sensors
In all cost £595.
Inspection 2 service with my own parts provided is costing me around £1000 all in. The car is then going up for sale as its not practical for me. My mate had it for 3 years and needed money due to unforseen circumstances and i jumped at it.
Absolute beauties but need the extra room. Although I suspect I will probably want to keep it after everything is done and shes ready to be driven properly. At the moment just parked up :-(

Ecp have been showing rears as out of stock for weeks...? Did you call? I called Thursday with reg and part number from their site and she confirmed they had no pagid or Zimmermans. Gave me to other part numbers but would rather buy from bmw on eBay for piece of mind, albeit likely £250 total.

I ordered online, waited a few days and phoned up and asked about the status of my order, the guy conceded they wouldn't have Pagid in for some time and would order the parts direct from BMW instead as a like for like replacement. Don't see why this wouldn't work for other people, if you order the Pagid's just phone up a few days later and make it clear you need the discs pretty quick.
My first set got lost in the post but they were quick to replace in fairness so thumbs up from me for ECP
