Silly Question but is this just one brake pad or will I be getting a brake pad for the right and left wheel for £100? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Evening chaps, so I recently replaced my pads and sensor wire but I can’t seem to reset the pad sensor. I’ve looked at various different YouTube vids but none are working for me, car is a e93 335i 2012 model. I thought it was a faulty sensor so I’ve bought a second sensor but still no luck! Hope...

Has anyone cured this? I changed the pads to genuine BMW ones and it went away for a while - the spring was much sturdier than on the pads I removed but alas it is back and makes the 8 sound rubbish on our roads with the windows down! Thanksm Rohan

Hi Guys, I'm a Brit but currently living in Poland and this is my first post here from me so thanks in advance for any generous replies to my question. I am about to replace all discs and pads on my 2013 E71 X6M. I've had the car a couple of years and I have to say I've been less than...

Just called a couple of Main Dealers for all inc. prices on fitting new rear pads. 1st. Was £190 inc. and £240 for fronts. 2nd. Was £290 annd £299 for fronts.... the girl on the phone said they always replaced the sensors... ... but why the big difference? Is garage 1 not inc. sensors? I've no...

I went to change my pads today as when I took it for an MOT 6 months ago it was advised they were getting low! So I finally figured out that I needed a 45Tx socket to get the bolts out and not an Allen key as the Haynes manual suggested, then after an hour of trying to remove the calliper...

Hi I am going to borrow my mates trolley jack and axel stands to change the front brakes and pads on my E36 this weekend. I'm fairly sure I can do it all myself and avoid the premium garages carry but I can't find any clear information on what I may need to complete the task. Obviously I have...

I just brought a M5 (e60). I found it hard to believe when I was told it never had any brakes work i.e original pad and disks as the car has traveled 65000 km. Previous owner was a sedate hot runner long distance driver. My front pads are at 12mm (both sides) rear 10mm Disks are front 32 and...

Hello All, I've picked up some great info from the forum, thanks. Now its my turn to input some information that will hopefully save somebody some grief. So, I've sorted my windscreen washers and had the dreaded swirl flaps removed, success all round, and the car passed its NCT (Irish MOT)...

When i get the new brake pads i read that its advised to remove old brake pad residue and the thin transparent layer thats on the disc left behind from the old pads. Apparently its only done when you change brand because of the different compound used. What should be used to do this?? I was...
