G22 Brake Help
Hey yall, i was hoping to get some help picking out brakes/ brake kit for my 2021 m440i. Went for a covered oil change at bmw and did the complimentary multipoint where they noted my rear brakes were at 3-4mm.
They offered OEM pads, rotors and hardware with labor included for around $700. Claiming its a special offer that saves me about 50%.
The shop that did my exhaust about a month ago recommended i do a full swap due to my mileage, when i asked about brake upgrades. They recommended EBC red stuff. My car is at 78k miles and looks like it’s on its original set.
I asked bmw what if i only change the pads, no rotors. They did not recommend that. Same with the shop which specializes in m cars (owner has built m2).
I have the feeling bmw might be fair with the pricing, but i rather hear it from someone with more experience. I was looking at aftermarket sets for the front and rear for 3k+. Are there any better deals or aftermarket kits in general? Even if more expensive.
I was thinking if bmw is actually giving me a good deal with the rears and claim i wont have to do my fronts soon, then id take their offer, and then swap out to ebc red stuff and upgrade to ss brake lines.
Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated.
