Think you have to have your nectar account linked already to get that offer. Can use SAVE15 to get 15% off instead though if you haven't

BMW use Textar for F8x M2 M3 M4 pads so I guess there brake discs are also of good quality.

We'll see when I fit them in the next few weeks!

Thanks. Hoping some new front discs will stop the ridiculous vibration I get when braking lately

Deal is back on, think you need to have a Nectar card already linked to your eBay account though.

20% off max £60 but if you buy front and rear in separate transactions you aren't capped -
Front £218.45 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-O...-127635-2958-0

Rear £145.56 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-O...-127635-2958-0

£364 total or £291.20 with the discount!

I bought the front and rear textar pads too, so should have been £454.44 but I paid £363 so nearly £100 off.

Only covered a few thousand on the Textar discs, ended up fitting with EBC Red Stuff pads.

Feel similar to OEM with a decent bite and no more low speed squeal.

These look like good discs and pads at a good price.

I went with the Zimmermann coat Z 1 piece, which must be pretty similar to the Textars, and EBC red stuff pads - I’m yet to fit them.

Front discs were £140, rears £120 - Autodoc (when @ ‘40% off’)

Pads - £122 fronts, £104 rears. Williams Performance.

You can get much cheaper pads, and also much more expensive, I thought I’d give these a go.

Heard good things about the Zimmermans, I do wonder if paying the extra for 'two piece' discs is truly worth it, especially when one piece are basically half the price

Might be half the price but significantly heavier, 2 piece have alloy hub to save weight and dissipate heat better.

Textar also make these and dimpled and slotted versions if you're into those.

Agreed, reasons I went for those over one piece. I did hear an interesting argument about how the alu mated to steel causes increased corrosion though! True enough the inside of my fronts are corroded to f, and in reality even though they've done over 70k I wouldn't be replacing them if it wasn't for that.

Not heard great things about the slotted/dimpled discs, apparently many cause a noise which can be extremely annoying
