Can front brake pads differ in size ? As mine seem to be clonking when i brake . They sound like they are hitting the carrier and when I removed brake pads to inspect they seem very loose fit . Thanks

Hi Richard...welcome to the Forum

Sounds like a new fitting kit is required to take up the clearance between the pads and the carrier but allowing it to slide sideways with ease. Worthwhile applying Copperslip when assembling.

Let us know how it all progresses

Got new pads on order as checked against ones at local mechanic and mine are about 4 cm bigger allowing the pads to clink against carrier

      Speedo display

      Morning Peter Welcome to the Forum The only thought I have is you have an Analogue Dash (fixed Clocks) and you have seen cars with Digital Dash panels ? To go the BMW OEM route I think would be expensive to say the least £££ I have read of a company in the UK who have developed Digital Dash retrofit kits called Demonized UK. From what I have read they are very good though I have never seen one or used them may be worth a Google search Nice Motor by the way ENJOY Dave

      Speedo display

      I have just purchased a x6m50d which is absolutely lovely. I noticed on few other cars the same as mine that the clocks are a different display? Can I change the look of the clocks. Someone said that you can download an app which will give you different clocks and also make the ambient lighting brighter in the car is this correct. Thank you Leter

      Recommended body shop in south London for E39

      Hi guys. My son has a 2002 E39 530i Sport which needs some remedial work to remove rust off the sills. Can anyone recommend a good body shop in south London, preferably a BMW specialist?
