Front discs for 330i msport

Hi Guys,

May be back in the e90 game shortly.

Looking at a 330i manual, but does need the font discs changing.

How much roughly would this cost? indy vs dealer prices please?

Hi,
Was it straight forward?

Just got a quote from a main dealer...

£440 for discs, pads and sensors!

That almost rules out buying the car for me

I've never done mine but I watched the mechanic do mine the last time and promised I'd do my brakes myself from then onward. Its basically an unbolt / bolt back up type of procedure

It must be simple as main dealer quoted labour of just £103 inc vat, the rest of the cost being the parts.

Did you change pad, discs and sensors?

It just costed me £200 ALL inc for my 325i ,330 has larger discs but i recon indy should do it for £250-300. I went for bosch discs/pads. Good luck

got a good recommendation to look at eurocarparts they do online discount of 25% too at the mo

westsidee90 does this work and is very good trust me - he does all the mods on my car. his prices are great too. he's based in west London. pm me (if you want his number) or him directly

I was recently informed correct me if i'm wrong chaps that you only need to replace the sensors if the brake warning light goes off as its a "once activated then replace" thing. it will save you £20..
