just look around online at companies who sell bmw parts and stuff. you could always check your local dealer too. probly expensive there but you can almost be sure they could get em for you.

gonna have to put the lights on hold as my ABS light just came on on the dash

so need to fix that first. think im gonna get some vented and drilled discs off ebay.

be careful using ebay. lotsa dangerous stuff there. personally, i wouldn't trust my brakes to ebay.

as far as the rest goes, the first place i usually check is bavauto.com. i also stick to other E30 specialists i've found by looking around, and you shouldn't have a hard time finding an E36 specialist. shouldn't be too hard to locate some clears.

dude my abs light comes on all the time. thing is theres nothing wrong with my brakes there perfectly fine. so check that out before you spend alot of money on brakes. unless you want to that is. sometimes the censors just geek out and light up.

i've had a look around the pads and they are low not alot of life left. Also one of the disc's is scored too so they all need to be replaced really.

bavauto can be a little pricey for some items. Did you want an OEM setup, or aftermarket? I have cross drilled rotors and aftermarket pads, they are pretty nice, but for zipping around English roads, slotted are better slightly. Not that I know or anything... haha

I would highly recommend pelicanparts.com .

I got my brakes from there and my mom's brakes and, well, almost everything else I've bought for my car. Trust me, you do not want to go ebay on anything that you have to trust you life on. It's just not smart. As far as clears go, don't buy ebay either, they'll look cheap. Either search the classified section on bimmerforums.com or go to BavAuto, they have a very good quality product there.

yeah, sometimes they are but they have some good stuff that is decently priced and they're quality products from a dependable company. and they have pretty much anything you can think of. so i usually start there before i look anywhere else. pelicanparts is good, too.

Stuff you don't need to rely on get off ebay. Like Clears and such. Well the only thing I would get off of ebay is clears. Don't risk brakes to ebay.

+1 for pelicanparts.com, they are great.

**chris325i** · 05-01-2007, 12:04 AM

i dont know my friend bought a full set of brembo brakes( i think thats the right spelling) of ebay for his porsche 944 and theyve been great. so sometimes you can get good stuff you just gotta check it out real well.
