Yep, 1 sensor on front, 1 on rear.
Pads always come as a set of 4, for a complete (front or rear) axle. I always thought discs should come as a pair as well, especially as they're often directional with the vents or grooves or drilled/dimpled holes. And they're supposed to be replaced as pairs too.

I ordered 2 before both of you replied
 The second one will do fine next time around as I plan to keep the car for a while

 If you want to, you should be able to amend the order if you contact them before it's dispatched. Pretty sure I got an immediate email to the effect of the order isn't confirmed until it's dispatched which took nearly a week to happen.

My 340mm front & 345mm rear discs arrived today.
Ordered them the other day when they were 50% off. Just waiting for the pads and wear sensors to drop down too... at the moment they're between 30-39% discount, I can wait but I'll pull the trigger as soon as they hit 50% Not planning to fit them for a few months, probably wait until I swap the winter wheels back to summer wheels, then it's only one time jacking the car up and taking all the wheels off. As mentioned above (although I missed it until I looked back), the drilled/grooved discs are non-directional... ie there is no Left disc or Right disc... it can fit on either. But it does mean that one will be "backwards" compared to the other. Not an issue at all, it's the internal vanes between the two disc surfaces that matter when putting discs on, but these are non-directional so can go either side. I guess it's because they're a direct like-for-like replacement for an OEM part number, and BMW only have one front disc to make parts easier/cheaper. Brembo followed suit, although I know other brake manufacturers will do directional ones. Just in case anyone else opens them up and noticed they're both identical discs and was worried that was a mistake.
