Can I do this??...I think I can, I think I can..
 
Just ordered Centric rotors and Axxis Deluxe Plus pads for the X from Zeckhausen....I've changed my own oil for years, baked my headlights, dremeled the hell outta my cluster and changed my pads on an old '86 325e....Got a bit of a panic/cold sweat when I think about doing all rotors and pads and sensors on the X, however. I've read the great DIY by Hayaku and Kewl, seems straightforward....Can I do this without f**king it up? Lemmeno your thoughts/suggestions, pulleeze...:thumbup:

Brakes and rotors are easy as long as you have a good jack/jack stands and even easier with a lift. It's a greasy job, but pretty easy.

PM me if you run into troubles, I did mine about a month ago.

It's not much different than from your '86 325. Go for it!

be gentle with the sensors, they break easy.

Go for it. Make sure you have the right sized hex bits for the calipers and rotors.
