"New front brakes plus pads at independent? £900."
What a total rip off
I can get everything to do the front brakes for mine (SE) model including both calipers for approx £310 after returning the old ones, pagid brand too from a popular parts company
A couple of steady hours and they would be sorted, if I paid a garage put them on instead maybe a extra £100 tops
I would not recommend buying or trying to run a BMW on a tight budget, I have one and it is a great motor
Some costs, Auto box service £450, replacing both thermostats £100 just for the parts, 4 glow plugs & controller approx £100, I do a lot of my own work which saves a fortune on labour
Worst job I have done on it was the fuel tank breather pipe, the part was £50 !! and it took all day to do, centre console out, exhaust off, propshaft off, handbrake assembly off, fuel tank off, you get the idea
