Brake discs B3 3.3

Post by Velvetblue333 » Wed May 10, 2017 8:42 am

Any advice/opinion on replacement brake discs, i.e. Some recomend Brembo, or Paige or Bmw's own which are standard 330 items?

After lots of looking around, I went with BMW. Previously going with aftermarket on this car and my other BMW's I always seemed to have a problem with warping, not so with genuine BMW.
If you are friendly with your local dealer they actually turn out cheaper than aftermarket stuff.

I used the standard Brembo discs and pads all round (from ECP) on my B3. Very pleased with them. Brembo now coat parts of the disc which normally tend to rust after a few months - so it always looks nice and clean/shiny after a wash.
