        Not from Sytner BMW when asked to put it right ;) 20 fitted.

        My point was to consider this part when changing your pads as no-on seems to have mentioned it.

          I had a quote for £12 from my local motor factors who are usually quite cheap.

          You can re-use them if the brake pad warning light hasn't come on. If the pads wearr down enough to activate the sensor (ie scraping the contacts) so that the red warning light comes on then you need a new sensor.

            £693 incl VAT for discs,pads,wear indicators and any other incidental expenses and they'll recharge the aircon 1/2 price. Her indoors won't deviate from BMW standard spec at all so that's the best I can do.
            They are going to try and find a Z4M demo and a V10 M5 demo for us to play with so that should be fun.

              What about using BM parts, but pay indy labour rates ... ?
              You then get the best of both worlds; comfort in OEM parts, and a cash saving + specialist knowledge of a good indy?

              Though the lure of the Z4M & the M5 sound very appealing!!! :)
              The M Coupe ... For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.

                The M5 is an awesome car! Had a good drive in one of these at the begining of April. Our fun stopped when the gear box packed in though. ops:

                  The missus doesn't really want to go anywhere else. The work is always faultless and the car comes back fully valeted. Just costs a bit!
