    Need to do brakes... need suggestions

    Need to replace the brakes on my 2015 335xi M Sport. Was hoping someone could point me in the right direction as far as parts go. I am unwilling to go to BMW and spend 3-4 thousand, but I am also insure if I should go to autozone and buy all the components either.

    anyone that has done their own brakes for a reasonable price with positive results?


    thanks all

    I have not needed to change the brakes on my 2015 F32, but I've routinely changed the brakes and rotors on my '86 635CSi and my '01 525i. Always pretty straightforward, and results as expected. Looking quickly online, I found some tutorials, and there doesn't seem to be anything unique about changing F3x brakes. Go to realoem.com, enter your vin, and find the part numbers for brakes and possibly rotors. Armed with the part numbers, go shopping online--lots of brands to choose from at any of the common Euro car parts sites.
