320D will be 300mm front discs

get these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Front-Fero...item565d2b72a9

they wont come with sensors(do have the cut out for them though), but sensors are either cheap from ebay, or just remove them by soldering the 2 wires together.

Thanks Icekube,

I was thinking maybe Pagid or Textar whatever they are called. might have to go ECP as i need them for this weekend

Do you have much knowledge on the sensor? can they be re used etc?

Use realoem or similar to find the size of the disc or even call the dealer parts to confirm.

As for sensor as its made contact best to replace it but they aren't expensive and you only need one for the front.

ive used realoem and it comes up with 312x24 for front on the N47...which is different to what icekube said...but ebay sellers say 320d 08 300mm discs aswell so its all confusing!

Best thing maybe is to just measure the disc i guess with wheel off.

Those Ferodo Premier are better than the oem spec pads from Textar or Pagid.

unfortunately once the sensor has been triggered they have to be replaced, you can re use them if you change the pads before they wear out, but once its down to the wear sensor, the sensor gets "used" and you need to replace. (or just bypass them by soldering the wires together, although this means you need to look at the pads to judge wear)

just the info i needed

p.s. its only a 320d so wont need the best of the best pads

[dy63]

it looks like rear brake discs on 320d 08 are 300mm and front are 312mm?

Does this sound about right?

I see, so your 320d isn't capable of 140mph +, and doesn't weigh over 1600kg.

I'm not saying Ferodo, Pagid etc don't make a suitable pad, but yes you really do need a quality performance item.

Measure them mate. I ordered some off eBay awhile back and they didnt fit even though seller said they would. Luckily the disks had more life in than I thought and just changed pads.

From doing a little research standard yes they seem to be the sizes front/rear.

Im capable of crapping my pants...doesnt mean I do it.

Unless someone is driving it like they stole it alot then theres no need for a performance pad. Everyday normal driving then the brands he mentioned are fine.

those premiers are a "step down" from Ferodo's fast road pads (the famed DS2500's) they are designed for normal road cars

Check out EBC Brakes, I have EBC greenstuff brake pads and the stopping power is instant.

EBC = CRINGE.

I had a horrendous experience with EBC pads on a friends car where they were fitted correctly bedded in properly and them promptly cracked apart under normal use. He fitted them about a month before a hill climb event and had to rush and buy another set of pads (this time mintex 1144's) a week before the event!!

I always without fail spend cash on brakes, Delphi disks are good along with Brembo and they don't cost a fortune. Also when it comes to pads Mintex 1144s or Ferodo DS2500s are probably the best all round pads you can lay your hands on.

your not along in your findings with EBC pads, there is a chap on here that can get them cheap, hence everyone seemingly raving about them.

1144's / 2500's can be a wee bit extreme for daily driving, the Ferodo Premier is a fantastic road pad.

I've never had a problem with discs, i always just purchase the cheapest disc possible, its just a lump of metal at the end of the day. (same goes for our track car, that's currently running some Jinyu(or something) discs with DS2500 pads)

cant go wrong with pagid discs and pads thats what i have on my 325d mapped to 274bhp 450 ft torque and i have no issues

Yes EBC had some real issues in the past but they have all been sorted. I've sold to around 40-50 members with zero issues, including hard trackday users, so the new stuff is great. I'm starting to get a few potential repeat customers which tells you something

If anyones interestes let me know, i run the E90post group buy for EBC products.
