Brake kit
Hi - Been told I need new pads. I'm not a mechanic but I've replaced front and rear on an 80's Porsche but not BMW. Pretty straight forward? Also, thinking of doing all four and getting the Basic Brake Kit Pelican sells here - anyone use and like this kit? And finally, what the hell is a "rotor"? It comes in the kit and I'm sure I can figure it out but.....?
Many thanks 2001 530i w/ 70k miles

A rotor is a brake disc.
Yes, it's pretty straightforward. Read these. The procedure is very similar on your car. Pelican Technical Article: Replacing BMW Brake Pads Pelican Technical Article: Replacing Brake Discs on Your BMW |
