You can find good prices at any of the site sponsors here on Bimmerport.com

Places like United BMW, Tischer, or the like. ECS has a good deal on Performance rotors right now. Almost half off. Check their website out.
Ahhh for some reason I thought that I had a big break kit because My buddies 135i has smaller all gray breaks not the light blue brembo looking breaks like mine.

And I agree that ECS is usually the best place to buy rotors, though I don't see any spectacular deals there today. http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E82-135...raking/Rotors/
I will keep Checking, what kind of deals should I expect, half off like another has suggested?

and HOPEFULLY I will not need rotors, just brake pads!

I feel like it varies soo so much, essentially I can got a week virtually putting almost no wear on the breaks (since I live SOO close to work and shut off my turbos and drive like a grandma) And other time I'll drive to the beach like I'm driving away from an atomic bomb and can even start to feel my brakes fade lol soo It varies too much to say. Also I've only had this car for 8 months, 15k miles.

That being said, I don't know of any pads that have the initial bite of BMW's OEM pads. If you can stand the dust and routine squealing, stick with OEM pads for the street.

and by bedded in you mean put them to the test? because I have no problems doing that
