Yeah, mine squealed for a little bit as the pads bedded in - they're perfectly silent now

Thats good to know, i'll see how it goes then. The satisfaction i'm getting after doing them myself is amazing though!

Ha, yeah having done work like this yourself gives you some good satisfaction.

Especially when you realise the money you've just saved yourself

I went for quotes on getting the rears done - cheapest was £216 all in using non-manufacturer parts. I bought the parts from BMW for £107 and done it with a friend... Now thats a BIG saving!!!!!

I still seems to have a whistle sometimes after a few hundred miles just as i'm coming to a stop, I think i'm gonna take them off and re-copper grease the backs and carrier contact points. Marvelous!!!!
