BMW Valueline Service Kits (brakes,control arm & inspection)

[matt4068]

Hey just to kinda let everyone know, BMW released new service kits for E36, E46, E53, E39 vehicles. They include kits for Front Brakes, Rear Brakes, Both front Lower control arms, & Inspection Services(oil/air/micro filters & plugs).

For example a front brake kit is going to give you the front brake pads and the front pad sensors in one kit, as one part #. I have pulled parts from individual pads only, and from pads from a Value kit, They are the same exact box, same exact part tag, same lot and production numbers on the pads. So your not getting a lesser quality brake pad, it is exactly the same part from what I dug into.

Just figured it may be an option for those that like to keep OEM parts on there vehicle (and you can get them for a couple less $$$). I bought a brake kit after I saw that the lot & production #'s were the same. FYI

i work for a dealer in the pittsburgh area, so i bought it through us. I know theres cheaper aftermarket stuff. but i figured for anyone that likes to keep oem stuff it might be worth lookin into at your local dealers. The front brake kit i bought ends up being a $32.00 savings over buying the parts individually.
