Thank you so much for your efforts, I really appreciate it. I went ahead and got the rebuild kits (2) and did the job today. Boy were they in bad shape, the side that wasn't seized was in worse shape that the other, turned out ok but took some time and elbow grease with the ol' emery cloth. I replaced all the brake lines with the steel braded type (same price), new crossed drilled rotors (from Germany, $100 each) and stock Jurid pads. The brakes never worked this good before, I feel like I can do a power endo (front wheelie). I guess there's a silver lining to every cloud. BTW I use to wrench full time when I was in collage and still get all my parts at cost from SSF importing, kit was $7 each (wouldn't of bought this car otherwise). Also where did you get your parts CD?

Again, thanks

Carl Nelson of La Jolla Indepentdent BMW Service has the rebuild kits in stock. There about $35 per kit, two are needed. His number is 1-800-466-8184. His shop does a lot of work on M cars and stocks a lot of hard to find parts in addition to having a lot of experience.
