I need a DIY for a front brake pad replacement, along with the parking brake pads while I'm at it.

could someone guide me in the right direction for this along with a reliable place to buy the parts if not the dealer?

I've never done any mechanical repairs before but would like to learn.

Thanks

My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV

It it fairly straight forward, although if you're looking for the parking brake on the front I suggest taking it to a shop (the parking brake is always on the rear axle).
