im probably going to check it out befor ei go to work that night

 

Just going to MoB to check out the R61, What do you have in mind?

 

Is it out of free maintenance? What is the mileage on the Clubie? Front or Rear? Just last month I replaced front and rear brakes on mine and it cost me $500.00 for parts and labor.

I think it's so stupid how MINIs are the cheapest models BMW sells but the parts cost more than most BMW parts.

 

Holy smokes! 500 for a simple brake pad job!!!

 

Holy smokes! $500 for a simple brake pad job!

 

dealer charges almost a grand.

 

Good god. Are these super duper special pads. Teehee.

 

Yea pads that don't last 30K miles.

 

i was just at MOB for an oil change and aux water pump recall, Jeff told me my brakes were getting close and he didnt inform me of free maintenance. 30100mi on it....i think im going to do the pads and sensors my self

 

Dam!!!!! I put in a set of hawk race pads for under 325 myself..

 

So in other words your out of free maintenance. Not by mileage but by date.

I bet you will need rotors as well. Mine is on its 1st replacement front rotors and 2nd replacement rear rotors. I'm at 69k.

 

No rotors? Mine also included rotors, rotor hold down bolts, wear sensors, and ate blue brake fluid.

 

Did you get the in-house discount, Mike? LOL

Hawk has great race pads, but they run about $150 a set (front OR rear). With shipping and a six pack, I could pretty easily see $325. Rick, which pads do you run on the street? Mike - same question to you. Did you upgrade, or are you running the OE pads and rotors?

 

I'm currently running OEM replacement zimmerman zinc coated rotors with Pagid pads. The Pagids squeal at very temps so I'm going back to OEM pads. I didn't see the purpose of cross or slotted rotors for my driving style. Yes they look good behind the wheel but all they do is eat pads. Been down that road before.

Yes I got my employee discount.

 

What would that setup have cost a normal person? Install included...

 

Not sure since my work is only listing Genuine MINI brake parts. Labor was 150.00 at my buddy's shop.

 

Aren't you the parts guy? Where'd you get your parts? LOL

 

Alright Nick here is Genuine MINI full brake parts pricing for a standard Cooper S and Clubman S. $620.40. Remember my work will price match MoB

2x Front Rotors $106.95 ea
4x Rotor Hold Down Bolts $1.95 ea
1x Front Wear Sensor Wire $27.95
1x Front Pad Set $115.95
2x Rear Rotors $66.95 ea
1x Rear Pad Set $92.95
1x Rear Wear Sensor Wire $27.95

 

I ordered from a supplier not from MINI.

 

Sneaky. And the Zimmermann pads seem pretty reasonable (just looked them up). Had good luck with them?

 

You mean rotors? I sell Zimmerman rotors all the time with no problems. From bavauto all the brake rotors come with a 2 year warranty.

 

Nice.

 

And I definitely meant rotors. My brain's a little behind this week.

 

My brain is a little behind because I have alot on it.

 

my rotors were still good..Just swapped pads for track day..
