You make it sound like they warp as soon as you have them bedded in.. Get the OE Brembos and some half decent pads (probably NOT what the PO provided in the trunk) and your girl will have smooth brakes until the pads contact the rotor vents.
Do you work at a Meineke? Dont cut the rotors, just buy new ones. If there is enough lip on the rotor to justify possibly cutting/turning them, then they are probably beyond the factory tolerance.

I agree-I was thinking the same thing, although I must admit I did the same thing for a previous GF that had been living with me for a couple of years. Luckily in my case, when we split up her parents said they would buy the car from me so she could keep it. Regardless, I wouldn't do it again.
It's a nice gesture and all, but it can come back to be a thorn in your side too.Leave a comment:

I don't think I'd ever buy a gf a car as a present. It just sounds like a bad idea to me, but I'm pretty cynical. Who gets it if you break up?Leave a comment:

Because the PO provided brand new brake pads in the trunk so I might as will turn all rotors and put new pads, also I dont want my gf to have any problems once I give it to her, and I love the way it feels to have fresh cut rotors,,, sooooo smooth... Its all free for me I work at a shop with all the equipment and tools so its just time for me.Last edited by kenika65; 09-18-2008, 08:31 AM.Leave a comment:

Okay after cleaning and putting a good layer of ArmorAll gel on all the interior, I installed new chrome rear windshield trim which was time consuming but looks 300 times better.
I then pulled the front air intake panels and gave them a new finish, then tried the windshield washer but the little sprayers were clogged with the PO's car wax. So I pulled them out and cleaned them up and re-aligned them so they spray properly now.
Then I took it for its first drive which was cut short because the driver rear break caliper is stuck, so tomorrow I will be installing new breaks!
Oh ya I also installed the light dimmer relay from george!
It works great but I don't like how when you shut the passenger door the light does not dim it just turns off, soo ill have to wire something up to make it work...
I got insurance today!!!
And tomorrow after breaks I will drive it to town for inspection!
As for rims and what not its just for my girl to drive till I find a 740il for her to drive, then Ill throw some brand new euro bumpers on there and h&r race and of course a 5speed... I have plans for it but for now just straight restoration.Leave a comment:
