July 17, 20178 yr alldatadiy will give you the diagram of the process if you've got a subscription. I buy parts from local stores, rockauto.com, or Amazon. Just be mindful of the brand.
July 17, 20178 yr What brands are Good, what is bad? I saw some stop tech kits for <500. I have no clue what they should cost but my expedition was $370 for parts so I was shocked that these "fancy kits were so "cheep"
July 17, 20178 yr zeckhausen racing is where i bought the stuff for the M. Classic question of course is how long are you keeping it...

July 17, 20178 yr I always buy a bentley manual when I buy a BMW car, they are by far the best manual for each model.

July 17, 20178 yr I did rear hubs/rotor/pads, TPS sensor, and some bulbs on the Buick on Sunday for less than I assume just brake parts will be on that BMW.

July 17, 20178 yr For pads, I have had good luck with stoptech street performance, a good oem solution with less brake dust is the centric posi quiet pads, or if you are some what aggressive driver on the street the hawk hps 5.0 is good. For rotors I have used OEM and centric premium high carbon. You can buy drilled and slotted, some manufactures will even tell you its merely for looks anyways. I would just suggest do not buy any brakes that are specifically for race use. I forgot which model do you have again Matt?
July 17, 20178 yr I also forgot turnermotorsport.com they were very helpful in suggesting a few different options for a track/daily setup.

I wasn't impressed with the breaks performance before, and I'm not looking to be blown away, but I just assumed I could buy better than BMW brand for less if I asked you brilliant, amazing people. Always pays off to ask the hop. I don't need them yet, just know that it's about time.
July 17, 20178 yr Sean saw the damage that fucking tired did. It actually damaged the control arms and bushings too. Just got me thinking about being proactive instead of waiting until it NEEDS to be done.
July 17, 20178 yr I'd do low dust ones. https://www.zeckhausen.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=3_4_3520_3522
July 17, 20178 yr Shouldn't take more than an hour to do the fronts. I'd measure the rotors first though. Dave has always been a great BMW resource for brakes in particular.

July 17, 20178 yr Had the 4runner in for the 20k check up and was looking at a toyota 86. Nice little car with a sub a turd motor. My salesman asked me what it would take to sell me this car today, I replied if you put a 2jz-gte in it I will take it now. He said that is not going to happen, but we can take this one for a ride to make sure I am not a sub a turd guy. I passed and took a TRD Pro for a joy ride. https://www.fairfield-toyota.com/vehicle-details/new-2017-toyota-86-86-JF1ZNAA12H9708253

One of My last subordinates got the Mazda hard top vert Miatas. I havent even gone for a ride lol
July 18, 20178 yr It seems some very nice person opened a Macy's account in my name and ordered 7 sticks of lipstick. She lives in Texas too, so when I got the email saying it was shipped I had some questions. If I were a scammer I would not use the email of the person I was scamming. What the hell is wrong with people... It should be all taken care of tomorrow.
