Searched for this but does anyone have any suggestions to a decent set of all round replacements or do you suggest the stealer?
Thanks in advance

Try GSF or Euro car parts, good prices for replacements

Re: New Disks and Pads - Z3 2.8 Auto
I have recently fitted EBC Redstuff pads from EBC Direct for about £64, and Zimmermann drilled discs from GSF for £100. From experience on our Golf TDI - which has far less engine braking than the Z3 - the pads last for about 40k miles and the discs about 90k.
The current Redstuff work really well even when cold, and even better no matter how hot they are.

A Z3 is not just for Christmas - it's for life!

We fitted Mintex discs & pads all round and have found then perfectly OK for general use on our 2.0. We bought boxed sets containing both discs & pads off a supplier on ebay. Make sure that you get genuine Mintex discs and Mintex pads not discs & Mintex pads which are also being sold but quite a lot cheaper.

I always have a look on a Well Known Auction Site-- I managed to get a pair of rear discs from Knights BMW up north somewhere for £49.90 , in a BMW box brand new. and delivered to my home address.
