On line vendors sell oem parts that are cheaper than a dealer, some with free shipping. Bowa is oem for sensors, Zimmerman is oem for rotors, Textar is oem for pads. Check Turner, ECS, oembimmerparts, rmeuropean, etc. Let us know where you find the best prices.

Tirerack.com is a good source for brakes. I saved around $100 buying from them instead of buying from ECS tuning or TMS.
If you are looking to save money look for centric rotors, they are the parent company for Stoptech.

A mix of AutohausAZ and rockauto works. Even though I have a 328 I'm sure I can jump in here haha. AutohausAZ for good price Zimmerman rotors, rockauto/tirerack for pads and sensors in my opinion.

There's a number of good reviews around the forum of people that have been using those rotors for some time. I just installed mine a week ago, can't tell yet.

I have Stoptech (not centric) rotors. Work solid.
Akebono pads are also a common choice, as ceramic pads do not generate as much dust and can still retain good pedal feel. I've made a full review of all this last year if you use the search function. |

I bought all the pads, rotors and sensors from FCPEuro. They usually have coupons for first time buyers and they shipped pretty fast although the website says 10-15days. I did Zimmerman rotors and Akebono pads. Seems ok so far although OEM pads definitely give you the best pedal feel in my opinion.
