Almost got a 2018 M3....not really. Brake help needed.

So I almost traded in the C63 for an M3. Between a full brake job, service B and new tires I figured I'd drop the money and get a new car. Now I have always been a BMW hater. Simply because of the plain interiors.
Well its now a lot more than that. While a great handling car it felt CHEAP. I mean the rear visors are about 4" total and feel like their made out of Styrofoam. Needless to say I walked out of there with a huge smile on my face and in love with my C63 all over again.

So here where I need to help....

Need to replace all rotors and pads. I want OEM.

Few months ago I saw a site recommended by a member here that was selling the front kit (NON-PP) for around $650. Cant seem to find the thread or site for the life of me.

Really need brakes soon as they are starting to squeal and drive me nuts. If someone could take 5 minutes to post and point me in the right direction of best most trusted sites to purchase the brakes.

I owned a 97 C230, then got a 2006 C230, then got a 13 C63. Sold it over a year ago and of course couldn't stay away and got a 2014 C63 but have never had to do this.


Thanks

titling your thread so it's about brakes would be helpful. This isn't BuzzFeed.

I think you may be looking for FCP Euro. Good deal on OEM parts and lifetime warranty.

I actually did walk into a BMW dealership and walked right out after the ****ty interior and rattling roof but thanks for the advice. Sense of humor isn't found in all I guess.

Anyway, if there is anyone else out there that is WILLING to help me out I would highly appreciate it, my son rides in this car every day.

This is a car forum. People won't know if they can answer your question unless they know what your question is. But sure, chalk up to some of us being humorless bores.

Agreed. But once you opened the thread and read it, wether relevant title or not, if you take the time to say something like you did why not take 2 minutes and also offer help?. Atleast that’s what this place was 10 years ago. You seem to be a respected member. I am not arguing or calling anyone a humorless bore but I am calling you crabs

Get the OEM rotors, but get Porterfield R4S pads. Less noise, less dirt.
LPI Racing seems to have the best prices.

holy crap.

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...4210212setof2/

Intersting it says not for P30 and I'm sure I have a P30 and the rotors look exactly like those. "Luckily" I can get for about $1300 but wow. If the RB ones really are lighter I'd get those.

Glad I'm still at 36mm on them.

OP, easiest option would be the ECS Tuning kit you linked.
Cheapest option would be these from FCPEuro (they will replace them for free when they wear out too), a wear sensor and add your choice of pad (R4S are popular):
https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...man-2044230412
https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...man-0004212012
They also sell a front brake kit (https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...an-w204amgfbk1) I'm sure if you called them they'd be happy to add the rear parts too.

Those are available on ebay all day for $800 (that's for both of them too). Also on FCPEuro for $930 for both.

Can't go wrong with this route - Go for lighter yet stronger rotors that is RB two piece rotors:

RacingBrake shipped more OE replacement/upgrade for C63 than any competitions. All data (dimension and weight) published on web store are certified to be accurate and correct.

Price includes our most popular low dust and non-squeaking performance street pads for the best combo in compatibility and performance so you don't have to worry and find the matching brake pads.
Racing Brake makes me happy

In stock for immediate shipping.

We are changing the way Mercedes owners replacing their brakes a new choice other than "OE" too expensive, "Aftermarket" unsure of their quality.

if you ever sell the C63 to get a BMW don't ever come back.

C63 AMG Black Series
Not sure if this applies, but with some help from others in the forum, I found the actual Brembo part number for my Black Series. Looking up just the Brembo parts, I was able to find MUCH cheaper prices for the rotors. I would be paying about $850 for a pair versus something ridiculous like $800 EACH (don't remember the actual price, just knew that it was ridiculous).

Changing brake pads and rotors on our cars isn't too hard either, since we have Brembo components. I had an e60 M5 and changing out the pads in those were more laborious. In any case, I would suggest you ask a friend to help you change them out as they're not that difficult and that will help you save some money.

In any case, good luck and much success!

Yup! That's about right and the ***** about it is they will not sell you just the rotor to exchange on the hat. They want you to pay for a new hat so what is the point?
When my time comes it will be one piece rotors.
