Could anyone recommend a decent budget set of disc brakes and pads for my 330i tourer please?

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

Hi Dave, thanks for the welcome and thanks for the advice, it is much appreciated👍

So Stuart what progress ?

What did you choose and fit ?

Hi Dave, I’ve actually gone for EBC grooved discs with yellowstuff pads. Just thought it would look a little beefier whilst still benefitting from good performance and longevity.

When you say budget, what price did you pay?

Well!! It started as a budget query but after a little research and shopping around I managed to get a couple hundred pounds discount off the total price. Originally I was only going to replace the rear set but I also needed a front tyre so I’ve gone all out and purchased two from tyres to match the rear asymmetric 6’s and a full set of discs and pads. So doubled my budget but peace of mind and aesthetically 😊 

Knowing the Brake are going to work and the tyres are going to point you where you aimed plus stop you is always a big PLUS 🤣

Now you can drive it like you stole it with confidence 🤣
