£92.80 for front discs

I bought my discs from GSF, were Zimmerman and cost me £65.00 with my 10% discount

I just phoned GSF in Glasgow and there (inc vat) £65.....but who are Zimmerman?....Iv'e heard of ATE, Gutman at Euro but not this.

I dont know how you managed to get Brembo's!...or did you ask for them..

You should have waited and gone to Euro Car parts up at Possil Cross the next day.

ATE discs which are the OEM ones are about £45-50 for a pair I think.  I bought mine from there over a year ago.  

I replaced my BMW discs which had ATE and BMW logos stamped on them with ones that just have ATE stamped on them. 

Same brake disc except mine didn't go down the road of getting a BMW stamp and then placed in a BMW logo box at the ATE factory. 

That is the only difference between the discs I took off and the discs I put back on! Oh and the £50 price difference

Edit

Unfortunately that isn't a very good price for the discs - can you take them back to the main dealer, or have you already bolted them to the hubs?

Glad you haven't lost out on any cash then!

BMW don't make cars, they build them.

Lots of different manufacturers make lots of different bits for the car and then they are all nailed together in Bavaria and out comes a Beamer.  I never really thought about it too much before until I used this forum, but when costs were pointed out by the guys on here, that you were actually getting the same bit for half the price, I did more digging' into places like ECP.  The guys at ECP say they actually get parts in which have the BMW logo ground off them!

Front discs are dead easy to do yourself.  I did mine along with the pads and failed to notice the 'L' and 'R' markings on the pads until I had fitted the right hand side and began to re-fit the left hand side!  D'oh!

As long as you buy OEM parts from ECP you will not go wrong.  Non OEM parts should be avoided at all costs i.e. ECP rear anti roll bar links!
