can you let me know what you find out please? does it work out much cheaper to go eurocarparts

so what bits exactly do I need for the 335 upgrade?

discs
pads
calipers
carriers (not from bmw I presume)

Slightly OT but this is a problem on all auto cars. Because we tend to sit at traffic lights, junctions etc with the car in D and foot on the brake, it causes deposits on the discs.

The deposits burn off once the brakes are used again, so it's no big deal.

The only way around it is to adapt your driving style slightly, and make a conscious decision to not sit with your foot on the brake. This means putting the car into N and using the handbrake if you're going to be stopped for more than a few seconds.
