$1200 for front brake pads?
Now that my car is out of its factory warranty the BMW dealer quoted me $1200 for the front brake pads?!? Are these people insane or what? This seems way to high of a price. Whats the avergae price for OEM pads? I will get another quote from an independent shop this week

WOW.
They meant $120? The pads alone on Tirerack are under $100 for front set.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the incorrect price you were quoted by the dealer. That or possible rotors were included. The dealer is a complete rip-off, but that price is just completely unbelievable.

Pads: $148.00
Rotors: $178.00 x 2 = $356 Sensors: $26.22 x 2 = $52.44 Other Misc: $20.00 Total: $576.44 -> $600 just in parts. Obv. the above figure is MSRP parts that are OEM from bmw. Labor at $180/hr = 3.3 hours total + parts above at MSRP = $1,2xx.xx For reference I just paid $645 for my rear brakes to be done at the dealer. |

I bought front/rear aftermarket brakes for $143 after discounts, and several independent shop only wanted $200 to change rear/front brakes including resurfacing the rotors. I decided to grab some friends and changed it myself.
