Some new stoppers for the 330d

Dave L · 15 Nov 2009 at 14:41

Just fitted these to the front, look small in the pics but they are 338x26 discs and 6 pot Brembo BMW Performance Calipers.

The first 150 miles can't pass by quick enough.......bedding in :rolleyes:

Make them even better with some better tyres

Nice though, I like. After all, you do need some big stopping power to reign in the fat lardy diesel front end

Where did you obtain them from?

Michelin PS2 RunFarts are about as good as they come! Not a fan of going non-runfart, what if the wife gets a flat while shes out and about?

Michelins are far better than the Bridgestones I have on the back......

They look great but.. Are they REALLY necesary?

I'm desperately trying to think where else I've read this opinion on here...

I'm not sure if that's sarcastic towards me or not

With all that torque he has im sure he does.

I like. Very smart.

Don't understand why you're worried about your other half having a flat... but it's your wife, your car!

Because he is the one that will have to go out and change the tyre!

Look nice.

Come on then how much

Meh, he should teach her how to do it.

It wasn't really a serious comment though

You got it!

Enough but not OTT!

Discs are £117+VAT each at a stealer, but I paid half that thanks to a very kind person (all above board!)

It's all that torque you see.

Me neither, it seems a bit weird really.

The Z4 has no runflats anymore and instead has a BMW M Mobility Pack in the boot.

I've never had runflats, I've had about 5-6 punctures in 8 years and have never had one where I couldn't reinflate the tyre using a footpump and drive to a tyre place for it to be repaired :confused:

You haven't met the wife.

Pump a tyre up with a footpump?? No chance!
