It does lag/wiggle a bit when I brake and also squeaks quite loudly, so it is probably time. The groove is pretty accentuated so that is why I think it better to change them and getting a confirmation from a mechanic was important. I will get another look and then see how to proceed. Thank you everyone for your kind advice on this.

The brake fluid change was not included. And all prices given were before gst, so that will add another to the total. My main worry is that I am charged that price but the rotors and brake pads I will get put on the car won't be top notch, perhaps I am being a little paranoid but where one can make easy bucks..must be tempting to just get a cheaper part than a very good quality one when the customer won't be able to check, or is not well versed in car parts etc..

Mostly the overwhelm comes from the miryad of options in regards to rotors, pads, M Sport, M Performance, sizes and how to get the right ones that will fit in my car. The change seems straightforward, just doing it slowly and making sure things are done in the correct order.

Hi there, Thank you heaps for the advice. Car has done about 90k km's. No track time, it is not a very powerful model. I did check and all the rotors have the grove on both ends from being worn out. I just got another quote for over $3000. Jesus I have never done work or lifted a car up at home but I guess there is a first for everything. Even with getting the tools needed and the parts it does not seem it will get close to those exhorbitant figures... Any advice on how to find the specs for the rotors etc? I tried with my rego or Vin number but I guess the most important thing is getting the diameter right.. A little overwhelmed to say the least..

Hi everyone, My dearly loved Series 4 Grand Coupe has finally reached the time to have all the brake's renewed. I dreaded the day and here it is. The car is from 2017 and out of warranty, so I was thinking to bringing it to an independent mechanic rather than official dealer but the cost still is way over 2,000 dollars, which leaves me wishing I could afford it but that might take quite a few months savings. I brought it to a workshop here in Wellington to be checked and was told it needs all four changed, rotor, pads, the lot. Any advice on how to get that cost down somehow? Any of you have advice on how to change those yourself? Is it doable? Or perhaps getting the parts from overseas (how to get the right one..?) and then bringing the car to have them fitted somewhere? I am really in uncharted territory here and for now I will keep the car in the garage as I do not want to risk driving around with worn brakes.. Really appreciate any info/advice on this! Thank you very much, Joan
