New - BMW Performance Brakes (1 & 3 series)

SoYank · 11-01-2009, 01:56 PM

I was looking at getting the BMW Performance Brakes, fore and aft, from Speed Religion earlier in the summer and fitted would be somewhere around £1500. This included the Goodridge Braided SS brake lines. I ended up with the AP Racing only on the front for a bit over £2200+VAT. This included the Goodridge brake lines all around, DOT 5.1 fluid, and installation. The rear AP brakes would be a further £900+VAT or so. While there is that £700+VAT difference I'm quite happy with what I got.

Fair enough, but when purchasing something it is always worth double checking!

I didn't, I don't and, unfortunately, I can't at the moment. The car is taking a two week trans-Atlantic cruise at the moment.

New front discs - £120 from BMW dealer
Brake hose kit - £80 aftermarket supply
Total £200 plus fitting - That's it ! everything else is included or you use existing !

Hi,

How come you dont have the discs or do you just not have the front ones?

The new front discs from a BMW dealer are £90 each + VAT.

However to help fellow E90 post members out, I can still get them for £60 each end price if it helps.

SoYank · 11-03-2009, 02:58 PM

OT: Good to hear from you again, Ant. Hope all is progressing well with the eye.

Hi Ant,
Thanks mate for offering the discs @ £60, I guess my potential buyer will contact you direct.

I never bought the discs with the calipers as I planned on getting some custom builds as you recommended with seperate bells & rotors to save a lot more unsprung weight

However events have overtaken me & I having to sell up, car has already gone

Hope you luck has improved ?

Luck has improved as well as the eye sight!

Happy to help.

These discs are smaller than standard 335d discs. Standard are 348mm x 30mm. The BBK discs are 338mm x 26mm. 10mm smaller in diameter and 4mm thinner

bmw330dconv · 11-05-2009, 06:33 AM

thats not a bad price, I could get this kit with the discs for £1145 and Goodridge Braided 6 line hose kits at £90.

But with a wedding coming up I cannot afford it

they look amazing thought and much better than the usual red brembos you see

Someone should definitely snap this up!

Carlos da man - 2mm thinner each side & 10mm overall to precise but every little counts

Seriously, this is exactly the reason that BMW do not want to recommend them for the 330/335 as they would be perceived as a downgrade to std when in fact they are not when you look @ the stopping power of 6 pots !

That's the reaction I had when I first saw the AP Racing brakes installed on my car. Did you get the Goodridge Braided S/S brake lines? If not, they're highly recommended.

Hope you have as much fun stopping with your brakes as I have with mine.

Dr Dave · 11-07-2009, 09:54 AM

Yes, those will be ordered at the same time as the discs are.

Can't wait!
