Time to change brakes. Few Questions.
Hey guys. I'll be getting my brakes changed soon and had a few questions. I have a 2007 335i coupe with 52000miles
1) Can I change brake pads only or do I need to change rotors as well? The guy that looked at my car said rotors should be changed but for some reason i don't think it's necessary right now. 2) What kind of brake pads are recommended? If I want just the oem BMW pads, where is the best place to buy them for good price? 3) Is there any other part that needs to be change or replaced? Like brake sensors or something? Why do people change them along with brakes? Thanks in advance. |

1) rotors if theres still some meat on them leave them, but if u want all new it doesnt hurt to get new rotors aswell and not worry about it if u plan on keeping the car for a few more thousand miles
2) I buy my OEM stuff from getbmwparts.com very nicely priced, they are located in Maryland and gets to me the next day 3) Yes a sensor is needed too by they get worn as the pad reaches a certain thickness
