Time for four new discs breaks and break pads

[Veera]

Hello sifu's, looks like it's time to change for all four new discs breaks and break pads for my E46 (318i - 2.0 Lifestyle).

I can see some linings on the discs and the surfaces are uneven and with lines on it.

Any advice on some good and reliable good discs and break pads brands and their pricings?

Thank you.

If you looking for OEM parts, BA selling 2 sets break pads and 4 discs and sensors around RM1k.

Just changed mine about a month ago.
Bought both front and rear disc from BA (OEM, brand Brembo) for RM100-110/pcs (fron is cheaper)
Brake pad total about RM200+ (front & rear).
Sensor RM25 each
So, total parts cost about RM 700, labour depend on where you change it.

Thank you guys. My mechanic oso said around the same price RM800 total.

Now waiting for him to come over to have them replaced.

I changed mine 2 months ago, please see my price on the blue colour fonts (all parts are bought from BA).
Labour I don't have the break down since I changed a lot of thing that time.
In my opinion, most of your parts are a bit higher side.

Think if you do some study on these 2 threads, you should able to get a lot of part pricing info :

In fact, you may find that some of the parts are even cheaper when purchasing earlier.
