Indeed, if I had a 335d then I would retain the OE setup with the 30mm thick discs.

Can't friggin' wait to get these on, need to get the discs from Ant, trouble he is in Manchester and I'm in bastard Somerset!!!!!

Parcel carrier is expensive, so looks like a drive is on the cards.

Not quite as far as Helmand, though!!

What quote did you get Dave?

Dr Dave · 11-09-2009, 01:19 PM

Two discs, must be about 40-45kg in weight?

"Too heavy for this service"

£97.00 for 3 day pallet service FFS!

Do them as two separate parcels.

Box size is say 50cm x 50cm x 25cm (Probably bigger than actual box) and 25kg in weight.

Put that in the quote box and see what you get.....

Dr Dave · 11-09-2009, 01:29 PM

Ah thats better £12 a go. Cheers Will

I had my OEM brakes shipped up from London in August. I asked them to quote me for Saturday delivery: £160! I then requested they send the brakes to my regular mechanic's garage (with his permission). It was £19.60 for two HEAVY boxes.

Dr Dave · 11-14-2009, 02:21 PM

Pics comin' very soon!

Dr Dave · 11-15-2009, 02:47 AM

Have discs! Will fit!

deletedelete · 11-15-2009, 03:06 AM

Are the brakes different in the uk? Because here the performance brakes DO NOT fit the 3 series without different rotors up front and I think it interferes with the rear parking brake.

Dr Dave · 11-15-2009, 03:09 AM

New front discs required, they are sitting here on the floor in front of me.

Uses standard rear discs on 330, parking brake unaffected.

Cool. They are so nice looking. Im gonna paint my calipers black and might even put the bmw performance logo on them, like the real ones have.

The biggest issue with performance brakes for me, is not that I stop quick, but that everybody behind cant stop as fast!!! You have to watch out in the front and back!

Dr Dave · 11-15-2009, 04:25 AM

That's the fronts done!

Off to do the rears now.

Nickleback · 11-15-2009, 10:22 AM

Look's good Dave, must have been a good buy !

Now, get them back ones on too !

SoYank · 11-15-2009, 10:26 AM

Look good, Dave. Nice wheels. Nice colour, too.

Where are the pictures of the rear brakes?

MIKEYBMW1 · 11-15-2009, 11:35 AM

very cool

Cheers!

Can't get the rear ones on - not sure if the disc is too big or the backplaye is getting in the way.

Either way I need a copper-hide hammer to remove the rear disc (as it is stuck and a normal hammer will damage it)

So at worst, I might need a new pair of rear discs.......we'll see.

ElegantSpoon · 11-15-2009, 11:55 AM

They look great!
