diy if doing rotor and pads

[scottishpete]

What bout the i Drive reset guys?

Can this be done your self ?

My pads are low according to my MOT,but on i drive it says thousands of miles left

So to confirm is this part of a service on the e92 if its on i drive? and if i have insured warranty then we be are back to sqaure one going to a dealer?

Soz for hyjacking the thread

Is there no point in having the dealer change pads then? I'm booked in, but it's £260 for rear pads only and brake fluid change

I thought it was important to keep up the service history?

Pads and discs are wear and tear parts like Tyres. You wouldn't go to bmw for a new tyre to keep your service history up to date. I wouldn't let garages rip you off with the price you've listed for pad changes. They are easily clearing over £200 for about 40mins labour max!
You could probably buy discs, pads and sensors all round for that price. Another example of garages ripping customers off

Even if its on your i drive as saying they need replaced?
Is it not in your service book also?

Its not a service part- I change the pads and discs when they're worn not when its reached a time limit or mileage. I would use I drive to let me know the sensor has been triggered and they need replaced. Your car will still have a service history so long as its serviced by a garage with service parts ie filters etc
Wouldn't worry about anyone telling you your car dosent have a service history because you haven't let a dealer rip you off with brake parts. As Ive said earlier wear and tear parts change them when they're worn same as Tyres.

The brake fluid part is required. Some guys have only being paying £54 to have it done recently.

Brakes are not part of the service routine.

As guys were speaking about various brands, looking at Euro car parts website it's lists different sizes of discs and pads for the 335i even when using your registration plate.

They offer both 330mm and 348mm discs. I thought all 335 had 348mm discs?

Anyways looking at the prices of 4 discs, pads and 2 sensors from Textar you are looking at over £510.

One of the local factors in my hometown will do a complete Mintex setup for less than half that money.

My computer saying same. ATS checked at same time add my having 4 * tyres replaced and said i and have "like new" pads. Suggested is just the variable servicing so before you order pads, get the existing ones checked out.

You normally want the bigger more expensive discs - 348mm.
I wonder if the smaller size is oem replacement part for the BMW Perf kit disc?
Those are definately smaller diameter.

I just bought front Pagid discs for mine this week, they are VERY like oem in quality and finish.
And the runout measured witha DTI on new hubs <0.04mm which is excellent.
They are very accurately made unlike the shite from EBC!

sorry to bring up an old thread. i have just started my own now but found this!

Are the 320d front discs from an 08 300mm?

Im changing front pads and i guess ill need a new pad sensor too? I will go with pagid or textar
