Vic,

You will be looking at around 1800 + VAT for a set of Fronts from Questmead (A-PP Ltd).
I went for the AP 6 pot kit on the front with uprated pads/hoses on the rear using original calipers/discs.
Sorry can't help you with the fitting though.

Cheers,
Grant

Fitting the AP kit is a fairly simple DIY job if you're competent with spanners.

It took me around 2 - 2.5 hours to fit front and rears to my old E46 M3 and re-bleed the brakes.

Failing that you could take the car to Munich Legends or similar, they would do it for you, I doubt you'd pay more than 3 hours labour at any decent independant to do it.

Got excellent service from Steve when I was buying my front discs. Will give him a ring Monday. Best online price I've found is 790 (no discs obviously)

Ordered a set of rears from Qestmead, good price too. 4 weeks lead time but I'm in no hurry.

They are a man down at the moment, due to illness, so are flatout between the rest of them.

You can't find a more helpful bunch tbh :thumbs:

Can't fault the service, been first class both times. The 4 week lead time is down to AP.
