tibbs.james 1 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 I was talking to my buddy from his Jap/Euro Parts shop yesterday and he showed me this from a 540i the driver heard a noise and thought he better get it checked out If you Haven't checked your brakes in a long time it is best to top a wheel off and have a look Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QuickSilver 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 Ideally people should be checking them atleast once every 3 months and bleeding them once a year. I know I do. My brakes help me stop. That's pretty far gone though, must have REALLY been making a noise too haha. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg111 13 Report post Posted June 7, 2009 Technically the cooling fins should be on the inside of the disc? Haha. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tibbs.james 1 Report post Posted June 7, 2009 errrr yeah its a bit special that one isn't it. At first I thought why did somebody bother putting an old rotor in a lathe to skim it down to the cooling fins then I was told the story by the mechanic, and then shown that it was a now a 2 piece rotor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted June 7, 2009 Is that possible? No chance of that happening on the E30, they have break wear sensors…and hey, let’s be honest the wheel is going to be off for some reason thought a mouth anyway! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
