Brakes from EURO CAR PARTS

Stormbitch · 06-03-2014, 08:46 AM

Do I have to go to BMW for front and rear brakes...????

Or can I order parts online and get a tyre bay to fit them? Save tons of cash and get the same customer contract of service????

Euro Car Parts seem to be charging £44.00 for brake pads.. and cheapest BMW is on Ebay at £120..

I guess stopping is KIND Of important!

Thoughts.

Just make sure your vendor supplies you the correct parts and your mechanic knows how to install brakes on the F10! I use independent BMW tuners to do work on my car, and they use the correct tools and torque settings for all installs! Where many owners go wrong is using a mechanic that's not familiar with our cars and botches an easy install.

I wouldn't touch them, had ecp brakes and disks on an e36 once. Brakes kept squeaking and disks soon warped and started vibrating. I drive my car very hard though, have friends who are easier on their cars and had no issues
