New pads and rotors for 2013 328i
Hey guys,
I am in dire need of getting all my pads/rotors replaced. I have the OEM ones on right now. I just do daily driving, around 70 miles a day. I did see the Power Stop z23 brake kit that's an acceptable price, but I don't know how good they are. I was satisfied with the OEM ones, but they are a bit more expensive. Also my version is the 2013 328i with a sports package (not M package or anythin like that, I think I just get the sport+ option) Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. |

What's your budget for repairing brakes?
If rotors, pads, and even calipers have to be replaced, M Performance brake kit may be an option for you - especially if it's a slightly used set from a totaled vehicle. |

Hey guys I really appreciate your replies. I don't think new calipers were needed. I actually went ahead and got a kit of Brembo (Part Number: P06075N) from Autozone for $380 which was around my budget. I will be installing them next week.
Hopefully these will do the job. |

Keep us posted on your review of that part number. I always shy towards OEM but am open to aftermarket for cost savings as long as noise, vibration, performance aren't compromised. How many miles on your original brakes? I would assume those Brembo pads are legit. Please share the other part numbers you are using. |

So my original brakes had 100K miles on them, so they are pretty much done. I am buying pads and rotors for the front and back. I didn't buy sensors as I wasn't sure if they will be needed. Do you think I will need them with 100K miles? Here are all the parts numbers: Brembo Brake Pads- Front : P06075N Brembo Brake Pads- Rear : P06071N Brembo Brake Rotor- Front : 09B33721 Brembo Brake Rotor- Rear : 34216764651B From what I read this is a new Economy line Brembo has going, which is what I need as I just do casual driving. |

I know Brembo opened a foundry in Michigan not too long ago... I wonder if they are able to make products for the US Market a bit cheaper than those coming from overseas. Regardless, I would have to believe those are quality pads/rotors and definitely put them on my car. Keep us posted on how you like them after a while. Are you doing the work yourself? Also - I believe you are supposed to change sensors each brake job but may not be completely necessary to install on all four corners... one per axle would be a good idea though... Not sure how many the system is looking for without throwing and error... |

These cant be expensive, so no reason not to replace then. Wondering what side it goes on and what the iDrive brake reset procedure is. Assuming theres a DIY on here somewhere. |

Hey guys,
Just a quick update. I put in the new rotors, pads, and sensors. I actually cancelled my Autozone order and got the same ones from Ebay for $30 cheaper. Autozone was out of stock and was going to push it another 2 weeks. Anyway, so far so good. The only issue I had was that the rotors are a bit deeper, so that caused it to touch the protection plate behind the rotor and make a very scary sound. All I had to do was bend that plate a little bit by hand and I was good to go. I will let you know if I have any issues. |
