Hi. I've just bought a 535i. 1997. Reasonable history. Not bad condition but needs new brake discs and pads and several bushes and ball joints particularly at the rear.

Could anyone please tell me where am I best sourcing them?

I live on the Isle of Man , U.K..

Where can I find the info regarding what the parts are called or some sort of schematic /tech diagram/ workshop manual?

I'm not looking to spend a lot on it preferably but I know it's a false economy fitting low quality.

Any help gratefully received,

Thanks, Jack.

Thanks gents. Looking forward to improving this car.

Even with it's age and issues it still has qualities about it that surpass most of what I've driven or owned.

I don't know why I've not owned one sooner.

Jack.

      U06 Active Tourer Mud Flaps what are the part numbers

      Hi Richard Welcome to the Forum Sounds like BMW have decided you shouldn't go near any dirt or mud in your 220i Touring 🤣 That leaves little choice really. have you thought of checking Mud Flaps from either the 1 series or 3 series cars it may be they can be modified to fit ? If not it means the after market accessories have you Googled to see what if anything comes up Good Luck with the search Dave

      Discs and pads

      Hi Stuart Welcome to the Forum Mtec with Mintex Pads always good value as are Apec, then there is Brembo discs and pads It depends if your only doing the Front or the whole car there are often some good deals to be had. Don't ignore your Dealer they often can be competitive and don't think the Auction sights are always the cheapest check the Factors as well. Use www.realoem.com to get part numbers and then use Google to find the best deal Good Luck Dave
