I just replaced my rotors, pads, brake hoses, and fluid. I used Turner's kit:

It includes blue fluid which makes bleeding easier. The stainless brake hoses are really nice.


The toughest part is adjusting the emergency brake. I found a tip online for that:

That's good, I thought I recognized the name!
Are you happy with it so far? I really liked my e36, I'll be looking for one in the future for sure.

Yeah, I bought my first BMW the day I turned 18, a silver 1998 328is 5 speed. I loved that car, but when I saw the M5 for sale it had to go!
As for the trade....uuuuhhhh..... I'll pass for now :)
