    Get a quote from a dealer too and see what the price difference is.

    Thread not a DIY effort, moved to main Motors forum.

    You could also try Brendan Holmes (Alpina Motor Works) out in Castlemungret. BMW and other German car specialist. Pricey enough but not main dealer prices.

    I used Clondrinagh for my 520D before and found them grand...bmw dealer quoted me 299 for new brake pads for my car...(front), at clondrinagh I got pads+discs fitted for 360. I shudder to think how much the dealer would have charged me. One of my mates had problems with them but not sure what it was but I used them twice and found them grand both times.

    Anybody can make a mistake... it's how you deal with it that matters. I found them very very lacking in that regard.
