Assuming you’ve done brakes on other cars. Tricky things include the little allen bolts that hold the rotor down, many here have stripped them. Plenty of penetrating oil (PB blaster is a fave) and patience help. I was lucky and had no problems. Also the bolts that secure the caliper are allen head as well.Originally Posted by my3rdbimmer

Axxis Ultimates (a buck or two more than MetalMasters) on the 3er and l like them, good bite. Had the MMs on the SE-R and since neither made it to a road course i really didn’t notice much of a difference. Both are relatively squeak free, but i am anal about bedding in pads properly (not to mention it can be quite fun).
ATE Super cause the blue looks pretty trick. Motul and Valvoline Synthetic are some other good choices.
