drilled and grooved front and rear $150 plus $95 postage so yeah it seems pretty good

especially as im finding it pretty hard to find a drilled rear disc for a 330.


robin i'll speak to rob and get him to just put a set on your bill ok buddy !!!!

i cant see them being the best brakes in the world but for the price im sure they've got to be worth a try just to find out if there any good or not

They look similar to these....

http://www.c3bmw.co.uk/StockItem.asp?categoryID=95&subcategoryID=0&productID=1319&oRef=-1&section=2&Item=unassign

These come to about £225 for front and rear. Did you get stung for taxes and import duty?

mine are drilled and grooved those are just cross drilled

and they cost me £122 all in delivered to the door

so imo a bargain !!!!!
