Brake pads
Right warning came on the other day telling me that I've got 1000miles left in the brake pads on the rear and the fronts will need doing be not long after that.
Pad prices look a bit bonkers for OEM £500+ for the fronts apparently. Textar were great in my E92 as they were the OEM supplier, do we know who supplies the 5/6 series pads? |

BMW direct ebay: pads: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Genuin...-/171403271867 Front Sensor: £30 each http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Genuin...-/190704714336 Clip: part number 34116786819 unknown cost. rear pads - excluding sensor etc. Part number: 34216775346 £118.71 Pads: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Genuin...-/191174605376 Rear Sensor: £28.66 each http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Genuin...-/170880810566 If you get a BMW dealer to do it they are the same as the 535D: based on bmw's online service cost tool, the pads on the front are £297 +£19 scoping charge - £316, rears £213 + £19 scoping charge Last edited by NINJA59; 06-26-2016 at 01:31 PM.. |

I just had EBC Redstuff fitted yesterday. I can't recall exact prices, about £200 for the pads, and it would have been £120 for fitting. I chose these for the possibility of less dust. Once the wheels have been cleaned (if it ever stops raining) I'll be bale to tell if they are an improvement.

Thanks guys I'll have another look.
Its a simple enough job so I'll be doing the spanner work myself with this one. 6Coupe all the tea in China won't make me touch redstuff pads again. I found they needed to be kept warm which was fine for fast road/spirited driving (I believe as 6'er owners we do the later), but at lower town speeds they were wooden, lacked bite and were downright dangerous when cold. That was however on a Leon FR150 TDI so the extra weight of the 6'er may help but its not one I'm going to try in a hurry. |

Wheels are looking cleaner than they would have before the Redstuff pads. They do work from cold like oem, but there is noticeable improvement after the first few brake pedal applications per drive, as the pads warm up. So far, so good.
