I would get the parts from Nerweezy and do it yourself! I never changed brakes on a car before and specially not a BMW but the DIY on here is all you'll need from your fellow members. It has step by step with pics. I was really nervous at first but as soon as you do one, you will find out how easy it was and have 110% confidence to the rest. Just use the search in DIY, tons out there. But if you are not mechanically inclined then I would either get a friend to help who has experice or I guess, take it to a mechanic. GL.......

Any Indy shop can do the job just fine, pretty routine. Since these brakes tend to squeal at times make sure they put some anti squeal spray on the back of the pads before its installed. In fact if you buy the parts and take it too them you can put it on the night before you take your car in. I'd actually recommend buying the parts yourself then you take the risk of them buying cheaper products and jacking the price up on you. Plus you get to pick the quality of parts you want to go with.
