    Did a front and rear brake change today. Had to drill out two of the set screws was able to pop the top and unscrew them with a channel lock. I dont put a ton of miles on this car so its been well over 5 years since the brakes have been changed, the rotors from all those winters were pretty corroded. I wasnt sure which one set off the brake lining light, on inspection they both looked pretty close so I figure I would do both sets. After taking it apart it was definitely the front set as you can see from the pics. Not down to the metal yet but getting close.

    Went with new Centric rotors that had the hub and veins treated in black, they look much nicer and I am sure wont get all rusty looking over the years. Decided to go with OEM pads, I know low dust ones are nice but really never liked the initial bite of them compared to OEM. The old pads that were on this car were Pagid low dust pads, they were ok but when I switched to OEM I could feel the difference in bite immediately even though they were cold. BTW This is the first E38 brake job I have done, I didnt realize the rears on these cars were not ventilated.

    Anyway enjoy some pics!

    Old rears


    Lovely set screws!



    New Fronts and Rears



    Shot front pads, not to the metal yet but damn close.

    Oil changes x2, both 740 and 750, always satisfying seeing pretty good oil coming out of the 740, 750 well it was still in there it’s first decent change, we’ll see how the next one looks.

    Had to buy a new tire today to replace a new tire(500) miles that had a 7/16 bolt through the sidewall. Just enough where it can't be fixed.����
    Lets get the party started before it's my bedtime.

    I like this choice more than 1st wheels = too many fake gold bolts, looks tacky. Concave all the way baby!
