i would really love to get a hold of one of this beauties, but i heard that to replace the breaks is going to cost $6,000 dollars since you will have to replace all discs, and if you have a problems with a tire you will have to replace all tires d/t computerized traction ajgarcia

Replying to: lemmer (Oct 09, 2008 1:59 pm)  So you are calculating labor into the equation as well, which I kind of suspected. I know we are going off topic a bit here, hopefully the moderators won't mind too much. BMW rotors are thinner (compared to other makers) to save unsprung weight, which is why BMW recommends replacing at every pad change to be on the safe side. However, as long as the rotor hasn't worn beyond halfway to minimum thickness at the first pad change, I don't see why it needs to be changed. This is not just my opinion, but many owners I come across on M5board.com or Yahoo 5-series group. I just tend to not follow BMW recommendation and change when necessary, which is why I also change engine oil every 7500 miles and trans/diff oil every 30,000 against BMW recommendation.
