    Red face I'm change my brakes need help finding parts!

    Does anyone know of a cheap place to buy rotors and pads for e36's???? I desperately need to do this as cheap as possible because I'm turning in my lease and I don't want to keep the car! I'm hoping to upgrade to an M3! Also, do I need to get a special key or tool for the change the pads and rotors?

    Off the top of my head:

    6mm Hex key
    7mm Hex key
    16mm wrench
    17mm wrench
    18mm wrench (maybe)
    6" C-clamp (to push the caliper piston in)
    Jack
    Jackstands
    Brake cleaner spray
    Big screwdriver (to pry off the retaining spring)
    Torque wrench (to put the wheels back on. 75ft-lb...very important)

    That should cover it.

    I got my parts at Zygmunt ( http://www.bimmerparts.com ). Good prices, good parts. I went with Pagid pads. Chris will take care of you.

    Good luck,
    Bernman
