Hi Philip Welcome to the Forum

It depends on how you do it, you could take off your existing calipers have them stripped media blasted and powder coated rebuild them and refit them with new discs. Obviously there is the time off the road to consider with this option.

Or buy new/refurbished calipers and paint them with high temperature caliper paint or not, this option would mean the car is off the road for the least amount of time. 

Cost wise I don't think there would be much difference in cost.

      Centre console iPhone charger

      Morning to you all, I have a 2014 X3 35d M sport, absolutely love it. However, I’d love to have a wireless charger (ideally MagSafe as I have an iPhone) in the centre cubby between the two seats. Of course I know I could use a lead (and indeed do currently), but in the interests of being extremely lazy I’d love to just be able to plonk it onto a fix in place wireless MagSafe pad. I've seen a few aliexpress specials to retro fit something by the cup holders, but that’s not what I’m after. What I’m after is as above, but I can’t find anything anywhere. Has anyone here done or seen something along those lines? Cheers Rob

      Failed turbo

      Morning William Welcome to the Forum That number sounds like a BMW Dealer quote ? Who diagnosed the fault ? What engine ? Remember BMW don't make Turbo Chargers they buy them in. If you haven't already talk to a Turbo specialist, well more than one so you get a good comparison on cost/warranty etc. Engine damage will occur if the turbine on the inlet disintegrates sending debris into the engine iif your lucky it will be the exhaust turbine thats gone Dave
