Thanks for the feedback, the prices that you mentioned are supplier price ie: AB, Innerpower, etc? or you mech price charged to you before. Frankly, I don mind a markup of 10-20%. If more, you might want to recommend me your mech. I stay in PJ but don mind go anywhere in Klang Valley for good and reasonable service.

Opps, just realised you mentioned from supplier.

It was 1 bottle. fcuk. And they are suppose to be "friend"

Had it changed at Vasu's place 2 weeks ago in Tmn Industrial Bolton

 

[Gerald 5]

Is your a 530 too? I ask because the 1st pair of brake pad sent was for 525i. Mine is a little wider.

 

[cwlee]

mine is 523i, If your's is wider, then it should be more expensive

Jerman,

No. Just labour charges. To be fair, I brought along the major parts only

Thanks Isaac. I am more interested to find out the price of the ori, not to say that the OEM is no good but for me to decided to stay or to start looking for a newt mech.
By the way, my B.pads front are a little wider as compare to 525 or some 530 E39, why I know? cause the 1st set sent by the supplier for 530 can't fit. The 2nd sent was installed and this is how it looks like.

Are they originals or OEM? Correct me if i'm wrong...there's 2 engine mounting and 1 gb mounting. Are there any other mounting that's keeping the engine and GB in place?
