with this - Redline is a great shop if you need the work done and their tire balancing is fantastic.

Debating overhauling my brake system (sensors, pads, rotors, parking brake shoes and hardware, caliper seals) preventatively just so I don't get seized calipers in the future and although it may take me a weekend to DIY I should be under $500 for all parts.

I've upgraded to the Turner bushings when I got a frozen caliper on my previous bimmers - if I even needed to rebuild the caliper.

Never a good consensus what causes them to freeze as I'm pretty religious if not overly OCD when it comes to fluid maintenance...kinda likes trannys. fluid may extend it, and others are at 150K without touching a dime...
