I don't see Bimmer World's set boasting 304 SS pins & C544 Brass. Also, they are not sealed with a rubber gasket. Last, Bimmer World's set does not come with end caps.

I looked at this set too before I bought the ECS version and did consider the cost factor.,

Fact is ECS's version is better quality, and is totally sealed from outside elements. If you you put some CRC Silaramic brake grease on the guide pins during install, you are golden.


A great idea "while you are in there" would would be to get ECS's 304 SS rotor screws. Very inexpensive and guarantee your not going to ever strip out and therefore have to drill out and tap the rotor screw hole (which sucks). They are Star & Allen compliant. Allen is the first fitting & then behind it is a star fitting deeper into the screw head.
Roger that!
Just emailed bimmerworld to see what they're actually selling. Will most likely be going with ECS though.
