Finally got around to installing the cross drilled front rotors and Cool Carbon pads on my 09 128 Sport. I have done several brake jobs on my past Minis so was not really anticipating any trouble. Famous last words...
Fronts are no problem, just make sure you don't loose the tiny clip from the brake wear sensor when you push it back into the new pad slot. Both my rear rotors were frozen solid to the hub. It took one hours each side of mallet pounding, propane torch heating and PB Blaster to get them off. The car is only 3 1/2 years old, WTF. I used a little grease on the inside of the new rotors to get them off easier next time.
Here is a good thread to follow:
