You also hit on a good point, ///M parts are really *aftermarket* performance parts but from the factory. Even then it's a myth that BMW parts are expensive. Two piece (aluminum hat) factory rotors for my M3 are $160 each. Compare that to OE STI rotors.
Better yet, I paid only $110 for front pads (from the E46 M3 performance package).
Tom it's also worth the $40 to join the BMWCCA, you get a 15% discount on parts and I think labor too.
Enjoy it! You've just ruined yourself for anything less.  |
Yeah, I did ruin it... I am selling my pearly DD and will be picking up a 3 series Xi for winter use before the snow falls
