why go for 2nd hand when brand new set of z18 brembo is only ~20k? I imagine brembo will have decent 2nd hand value when u come to sell it but 550 brakes will get have 0 interest in the 2nd hand market.

thought the mot might be an issue to you. I would say upgrade to better brake pads would be the most cost effective solution for you. use the $ saved to join the bmw drivers level 1 training so you learn how to use the brakes fully.
