Ha, i'm not doubting having the car as much. This is a guy that asked "What does wax do to your car? How do i wax my car?" "I forgot to shift and my car hit the redline, is that bad?" The spelling and grammar were way off in the posts though as they are always. I hate to bash on people but i just can't resist sometimes.

I spent $170 (parts included) to change out front pads and replace 1 sensor at an indpendent shop here in OC.
I remember my brother got raped by Shelly BMW for his E39. He paid something like $1200 for all 4 pads and 4 rotors to be replaced.
Sheez it could be worse!
Phil have you priced this for the M3 yet??

yeah, I did price it for the M3. it's actually why I got the M3 over the Cayman S (the monthly payments would have been about the same). the price is $0!
gotta love free maintenance that includes free brakes!

that guy definitely has deserved the bashing after all the dumb things he's posted...

Threading that long pin thru while pressing down on that flat metal piece... oh, what fun! Front brake job is much much easier to do.

True, but doing the rear brake job can sometimes be a PITA... you'd have to reassemble everything together before you can reattach the brake caliper assembly.

Yup, all they did was swapped out parts... nothing to it really, NO need to turn your old rotors, flushing out the brake system hydraulic fluid is prolly NOT needed as well. So yea, $100 sounds reasonable!
