What makes this 135i brake pad replacement thread so valuable is that these are Unique brakes, both front and back, and with the paucity of literature out there on the 1 series in general, the value of this thread becomes very evident!
Thanks for the link, these look somewhat similar to my old 03 Cooper S brakes so I should have no problem. Haven't been on Pelican since I sold my 911SC way back.
