My Ride: 2004 BMW 530i - no mods. Pretty basic really. I mean it has tires, windows, and a sweet look, what more could a man want? Honestly, I'd like to improve the sound system mildly, and possibly find a worthy engine mod that would increase my BHP by 100 without giving an arm and a leg for. I don't think it's out there, so I'll stay stock and love driving my 530i.
As the subject says, I have OEM quality TEXTAR brake pads for a E60 2004 530i front only. I feel inclined to tell a story as to how I landed an extra set of brake pads, so I'll illustrate in bullets.
1.) Ordered from BavAuto Pagid Front/Rear brake pads, and Front/Rear brake rotors.
2.) Received from BavAuto Padgin Front/Rear rotors, and "rear" only pads. - back ordered on front pads.
3) Waited 3 or more weeks and never saw the front pads from BavAuto - front brakes now SHOT!
4) Complained to a buddy over the 3 weeks at work. He said he'd hook me up, but never followed through initially. I went to the dealer and dropped $165 on OEM's! Crap!! Oh well it was imminent that I fix the brakes.
5) Next day buddy tells me they'll be here the following day - fok!
Anyway I now have an extra set...
Now I'm stuck with an extra set of TEXTAR pads for an E60 530I.
Purchased for $110 and well sell for $90 and I'll throw in free shipping within the US lower 48. PM for paypal details.
