Has anyone come across anyone cheaper than dealer prices for std front discs?

Thanks

Yep... Euro Car Parts do the "ATE" ones which I believe are the manufacturer of the O.E. discs that BMW sell themselves, it their infamously expensive cardboard boxes :whistle:
Bought mine from ECP when I did the BREMBO calliper conversion, at a great saving :thumbs: After numerous Ring trips, UK TDs and the mother of all Road trips recently, all is well :thumbs:

Thanks - were they definately CSL discs? Their website is showing the same part codes for the std M3 and CSL.....

Cheers

csl discs are bigger on the front than the m3 :thumbs:

I thought the same about ECP when I looked many years ago - only normal M3 disks?

Well of course mate :rolleye: Why would I fit smaller M3 front discs to my SG CSL ??? :smt017
Forget the web site and just give them a call, quoting the following Euro Car Parts part numbers:

104111208 for the Left side 345 mm CSL size disc... and 104111218 for the RIGHT side 345 mm CSL size disc, made by ATE
Thank you please :thumbs:

Well you know what they say about assumptions........

Thanks for the codes.

ECP have quoted £156 and £158 +vat so £15 cheaper than the dealer. Dealers closer so I'll stick with them.

Thanks for your help :thumbs:

WOW ! That's a lot more then what I paid for them only a few months ago :banghead: Sounds like they quoted you the RRP.
I guess U need a Trade account or to know someone friendly at your local ECP to get them for a lot less then that :whistle:

It might have helped if you said you got things at a trade price to begin with Matt! :bigcry: :blalalala: ;)

Sorry for the thread hijack but for all things BMW are there any good websites who retail OEM parts cheaper than dealer prices?

I got near on 20% off at BMW so didn't bother investigating much further.
