Hey guys, I have to get my front brakes done on a 2012 E63 Wagon. Front rotors/pads lasted just over 21,000 miles (34,000km).


My local dealer in Canada quoted me CAD$3,400 for 2 front rotors and CAD$600 for front pads. WTF!?!??!


I could almost buy a brand new front Brembo Big Brake kit for that!!!!!!

What's the best (cheapest) place to buy OEM parts for the job: rotors, pads and wear sensor?

Thanks in advance

Yes your best bet would be ebay or part websites.
Or you can just upgrade with very affordable Racing Brake kit.

Is your car less than 2 years old? In Canada? They do your brakes for free if less than 2 years old. Part of the wear warranty.

I just bought 3 piece Giro from Tal at ACG. Cost around $1300 for 2 front rotors. I ordered Hawk low dust pads from JRP for around $300.

PM and I can get you all the details.

Please be certain that your front rotors are actually worn, and the dealer isn't one of those place that simply "does both" when the pads are gone. Being serious here. I'd want to know the measured thicknesses of the rotors.

Seriously? Yes, it is still under 2 years old (23 months to be exact).


I will call them up, thanks!

Falls under the wear and tear warranty:

****, so mine falls under it too. Mine aren't worn, they are warped and shake like crazy when braking.

Only in Canada.

Thanks benyl! Appointment made and free of charge

Part department has no clue, and I just assumed brakes weren't covered.

Thanks everyone for your help!! Saved me mucho $$$$

nalaquinn

can you give me the info on where you bought your rotors and brake pads. I have a 2010 e63 that needs front rotors and pads. trying to find the best/cheapest way to replace them.
Thanks

So Canada has a wear and tear warranty? I've never heard of such a thing! Why not the us?

Would you prefer a wear and tear warranty or lemon law protection?

You wont find the best and cheapest in the same product.

In an effort to find the best parts that were as good as OEM or better, I ended up using RacingBrake ET500 pads front/rear. Their replacement rotors are slightly better in the long run than the stock two-piece rotors, since the ring itself can be replaced later. I doubt the difference in weight, even unsprung, makes a noticeable difference.

Their pricing is about 2/3 stock for pads, about 2/3 for pads/rotors combo.

Replacing the pads is quite simple; moreso than most cars. If replacing the rotors too, it is about normal for a typical modern car.

that's a tough one, most won't need lemon law, but often may need wear and tear.. I take it canada doesn't have lemon laws
