brake pad work at dealer? how much?
I still have my warranty, 2010 will be my last year.
i just want to know that once my 4 year warranty expires, how much would BMW dealers charge for brake pad change/brake work, etc etc(including labor). this will give me some heads up on getting extended warranty or not. thanks |

Find a shop in your area that works on european cars and you are probably looking at between 2.5-3 hours of labor charges at 80 per hour. So somewhere arounf 200-240 to change out the brake pads and sensors.
The dealer is a rip off. |

I did my brakes a few months ago. The parts (4 rotors, 2 pad sets, and 2 sensors) from Tischer cost just over $530. Throw in 4 hours for labor at $100an hour and your talking about $1,000. DIY and save. It's a pretty easy job if you've done brakes before, no different than any other car (except for the sensors). The rear sensor is a bit difficult because you have to dig into the fender liner to replace it.

my dealer charge $650/axle. I had rear brake done last week at 49400 miles free of charge, but the mechanic did not put a new brake rotor in. I heard they suppose to replace the rotor when put in new pads.
