Cheapest place for genuine front discs ?
- Thread starter The Saint
- Start date
ATE are the genuine part, you just don't get the white and black box with 'genuine bmw' written on it which cost an extra £70 or so and goes in the bin anyway :wink: I think there was somewhere on Ebay you might be able to get them for £300 or £295 but don't know if they still do them. Around £300 will be the best your going to get for the genuine article.

No because your not buying them from BMW your buying them from ATE direct. The rear discs aren't Z4M specific, same as E46 M3 read discs, so your can get those virtually anywhere.
If you believe that fool on Cutters who thinks paying a BMW dealer £100 more for the same discs because they might be made from a different material or higher quality then that's your prerogative chap, I don't believe that for a second personally. The choice is yours though!

I saw the discs yesterday on the rear of an E46 M3 which are obviously the same rear discs as the Z4M. It didn't have any front discs, so i couldn't look at them.
Just trying to get the facts straight about the only difference being the BMW box which obviously isn't true
Do the ATE discs have any markings ?

If you're happy with the ATE ones, message 'Danny the Duck' on here, think he found a supplier in Birmingham who could do them for a really good price.

The facts are:
1) The discs from ATE don't have the silver ring on the bell saying BMW and the part number, stands to reason as they don't get sold through BMW
2) one set will cost you over £400 because of BMWs standard mark up. The other set will cost you around £300
That's the choice, if your worried about different quality of whatever then hand your dough to the dealer, simples
That's all what i assumed and why i decided on genuine discs, i'm half thinking about resell time.
So back to my original post, where's the cheapest you've seen genuine (BMW) discs?
I will ask Harry Fairburn's on Monday as they are usually the cheapest dealers. Just seeing if anybody had been some great deals or discounts lately.

That looks like a good price from Awesome. Had good experiences in my Audi days of tuning.
Another option is a lad on eBay. They're up for £340 but welcomes offers. He's on cutters too. Happy to do circa £300 and that'll be my option when needed.
What's the best everyone can find for rears then? Hull Stratstone on eBay shows £255 delivered.

Fwiw, I bought 2 front discs from ECP when they were on offer for around £260 I think. They arrived in a pagid box but we're stamped ate. They've done around 10k now including a couple of laps of the ring and countless mountain passes (which can be pretty hard on brakes!) and they are holding up fine. No lip to speak of and no cracking or warping. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to buy them again and save myself a nice bit of money in the process over the official part.
