Replacing Front Brake Discs & Pads - 1999 BMW Z3 2.8 Roadster E36

In this video I replace the corroded front brake discs/rotors and brake pads on my 1999 BMW Z3 2.8 Roadster E36 5-speed manual in Arctic Silver.
Surprisingly, the caliper pistons were not seized however there was a lot of rust and corrosion on these calipers which will be replaced in a future video, along with the brake hoses and then a full brake fluid change/system bleed.
Other components identified as corroded or worn included steering track rod ends and track rods, front lower suspension arms, ball joints & rubber bushes and anti-roll bar (sway bar) drop links. All these items will be replaced in future videos.
Parts used:
Brake discs - Ridex (supplied with car, not a brand of choice)
Brake pads - Bosch
Wear sensor - Bosch

More good work.

Nice job. When working in those areas I find rotary wire brushes in a battery drill work a treat, a kit of different sizes and shapes.

@@michaelglynn2638 I think there’ll be some of that going on when I get the red paint off the caliper carriers and repaint with silver VHT paint.

Interesting, I've pads to do on a polo soon, VW are great at putting different fixings on the same part, so you need half the tools from the shed to get things apart 😭
