Hi Guys. Just a line on the LE brakes they are 315mm F& 302 R with a floting caliper on the front. I have just replaced the clutch & flywheel in my LE No23,i...
Well there ya' go Roy ... seems we have a 'disconnect' on the rotor size figures. Carsales.com.au state 315mm fronts, 300mm rears; but the boys in our group...
Hi Frank, Sorry you misunderstode me it was $365 US for the clutch& $615US for flywheel. Roy----- Original Message ----- From: Frank van den Berg To:...
Cain, do you have to warm up the mintex 1166 pads for them to work well or do they act like the normal bmw pads ? The idea of less dust really appeals but my...
Yep the 200,000kms has come up. How are the others going for mileages ? Like Frank I am waiting to sell my 535 before I spalsh out on some stuff for #18. The...
Hi Andrew No, they are as good as the OEM Pagid pads from cold and just keep getting better from there. They last very well too. I have had this set on the car...
Thanks for the link Cain, everyone should read the brake upgrade pdf. Very informative. I wonder how much the Yokahama tyres cost and how many km's you get out...
Hello Frank, Seems like BMW have a lot leaway on their pricing for me to be quoted $1290 .00 for the clutch & you $1,930.00 ,the whole thing including fiting...
Mine is at about 118,500kms. In terms of tyres, I am about to fit Pirelli P-Zero Corsas all round (an 'R' spec tyre). I have the 1995 345mm front 4 pot...
Andrew, the MOTOR Tyre Test 2006 lists the RRP for the Yokohama Advan Sport 245/45/ZR18 tyre at $440 per tyre. That is of course RRP, so some spirited quote...
I fitted my A048R's in July 05 and they are still legal (just). I couldn't gaurentee the km I've down, but at least 15,000km and they are still gripping....
The boys (Cain and David) were right. I took front and rear wheels off #15, and checked the rotor diameter with my make-shift vernier calipers (re-bent coat...
#15 has just clocked over 113,000 km (113,034 to be precise), and goin' well. Needs a new clutch, and new tyres (I'll probably go with the Advans unless I can...
If you take the front wheel off and have a look at the caliper - it also has 302mm clearly stamped in it. David #62 ... diameter with my make-shift vernier...
Thanks David; and since you haven't mentioned it, I assume that the 302mm isn't stamped on the rear calipers. And they'd be different calipers even though the...
Hi All! Ian, You can get the throwing stars to look that good as I have done it with mine! I will drag the camera out and take some more photos and send them...
Frank - can't recall to be honest. I have my front and rears sitting in a box in the garage so could look at if required. What I do know is that the front...

I read an interesting article about winter tyres, the might be worth considering over there in cold, wet NZ. There are mainly suited to colder conditions, not...
Interesting that Ian can't get his throwing stars as shiny as his US set. The place I visited here on the Gold Coast only offered the bling look which I think...
Hey Andrew We are starved for wheel shops here in WA - the only place I know of that will do the work is Advance Tyre and Rim Repairs. They are expensive (but...
I havent tried winter tyres....Until the Bimmer always had dunlop or firestone "middle of the road" tyres.I have never had to drive in snow or ice...minimum...
Front and rear calipers are different as the rear rotor has to fit the handbrake assembly in it. The rear Rotors are NOT solid, they are vented. AB ... From:...
I should say, Front and rear calipers are different, as are the front and rear Rotors. The rears Rotors are different as they have to fit the handbrake...
Group, I have finally gotten around to having new photos of #15 added. The original photos in the gallery were from the previous owner, down in Canberra, and...
Roy, LOL!!!!!!! I completely forgot about that! I had my wheels balanced before I went on our Winton/Alps drive, and didn't notice that the wheels were the...
