I'm looking to get front pads for a 2006 525i. I ran into these 2 part numbers

HB551F.748

HB534.750

What's the difference between the 2? the .750 seems to have a split between the pads. Is that any better or worse?

 

551F.748 is the proper part number. Don't worry when you order I'll get you the proper set

 

balbs, order from Michael, he'll take care of you for sure. The Hawks have noticeable improvement in braking on my 545i.

 

p.s. He has an installer he can refer who I've used with no problems whatsoever.

 

So a buddy of mine works as a mechanic for Delta airlines (fixes their trucks, not planes). He was also a mechanic when he was in the army. Although he used to have an early 90's 3 series, he shouldn't have a problem changing brakes and rotors on an E60 right?

 

it's a piece of cake

 

You can also try a DIY.

 

Got my pads. Thanks Michael! What do you guys recommend for brake fluid?

 

dang it why didnt you tell me you needed this too

 

I didn't think about it until I openned the package What do you recommend?
