They have quoted me inc labour, using Pagid discs, pads and sensors, £190 for the fronts and £180 for the rears, does that sound reasonable?

I ask this because i was looking through the forum and found a site called eurocarparts offering 25% off parts?? i had a play around, not sure if i selected the right parts =P but it came to about £100 for just the parts. How many sensors do i need back and front??

On top of this when i bought the car the key fob locked the car all okay but for some reason it does not lock it anymore so garage said i need to take it to BMW to let them diagnosis the problem but warned me it be expensive =( anyone experienced this before??

All in all im a happy-ish owner as these parts are just standards things that need changing....sorry to be so long winded...im a little clueless when it comes to cars =(

Hi,
The price for brakes sounds about right to me (assuming its inc vat)...
also you only need two sensors (one for front wheels one for back).

As for your central locking problem, check the fuse isnt blown (could be something that simple)..

If not these cars can suffer from door actuator failures so could be that.
But you'll have to take it to an indy specialist or BMW to get diagnosed.
