Brake Pads & Discs Renewal
Might be in for replacing the pads and discs soon. BMW are quoting me some ridonkulous £500 for the just the pads and sensors (all round) minus the discs.
1. If I go down an independent route (indy specialist or otherwise), will this affect my BMWFSH? 2. Is this service from the stealers generate a stamp in the booklet? 3. If I go with no.1, what pads and discs should I go for and where's a competitive place to purchase? How much should I expect to pay? Sorry to ask if it's been beaten to death! Its a 320D. Thanks one and all! |

I have just bought this Hawk Ceramic Front and Rear set for my car, better than OEM pads
http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Brak...2990/ES252990/ Rear: http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/ES517716/ES517716/ this one i think it fits your 320d since my car is 320i. |

My tech recommended ceramic pads. How do they feel in really cold weather?

Im going with aftermarket rotors/pads/sensors, and getting the dealer to just do install. Its going to run me about $1000 CAD in total. Unless I decide to do the install myself in which case it should be $800.
Akebono euro ceramic pads are a good option, ill be going with the EBC Redstuff though since I want to take my car to the track this summer atleast once. Last edited by abhishriv; 02-23-2012 at 01:14 PM.. |

I am using the Akebono Euro ceramics. They don't stop as aggressively as the factory pads - less bite - but they are completely DUST FREE and still will slow the car well. They are not suitable for hard driving and track use, though.
