Where to get new brake pads?

jasjohal · 01-28-2021, 03:39 PM

Got the M Sport brakes, need a new set of pads back and front. Eurocarparts and GSF have only been able to quote me on pads for the fronts, not for the rears. Don't fancy paying BMW for OEM price. Any suggestions?

New rear pads, what's the mileage on - about 50k?

£179 on here - https://bmwsupply.co.uk/part/details...&view=btdetail

Bloody hell! £179 for a set of pads!! And £205 for ONE brake disc! It would be cheaper to run into stuff!

As matter of interest, what mileage you on to be needing new brake pads all-round?

Has anyone looked at the ceramic pads? Interested in whether they improve the performance and produce less dust?

Snake oil I think. They use the term “ceramic” as if they are ceramic brakes which they ain’t.
