E36 brake disks advice
Hi there.
Just a quick couple of questions for you knowledgeable lot that I would apprecate answers to... I have been told by the mechanics that my front disks are showing early signs of slight warping and that would probably need to be replaced soon. So, being a resident of the rip-off island, I am looking at the local mechanics charging several limbs for pattern parts. I thought I'd be clever and try to source the parts myself. The car in question is a 1996 318ti compact(E36), not really worth spending too much on and definitelly not driven agressively enough to warrant a "grooved" or "drilled" disks... Q1) The car has stock solid disks (12mm, I think). Now would I be able to replace these with "vented" (22mm, I think) disks without having to get the bigger calipers too? Q2) Who makes the original disks for BMW? In other words, what is a good make of disks to be aiming for? Q3) Anyone able to suggest a good online parts supplier in the UK? Thanks in advance. |
