Paddybrown23 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 So I've been to euro car parts and got some pagid front brake discs. When I was ordering them the girl behind the counter mentioned there was two sizes, I've ended up with 300mm which I didn't think anything of. I've just googled and I think I've got the wrong ones my car is a 320 2.2, can someone tell me what size brake discs I'm supposed to have up front??

Paddybrown23 Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 The girl put my reg in the computer at eurocarparts so I'm a bit confused how I've got the wrong ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuBeeDoo Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 The girl put my reg in the computer at eurocarparts so I'm a bit confused how I've got the wrong ones. That means frack-all. According to ECP's computer my old E30 320i touring was an E36 325i coupe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerFish Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Chassis number + realOEM. It lists mine correctly on both my 330d and my 325i... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddybrown23 Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 I just assumed they would know as I had no idea of sizes. Oh well, back off to ECP I go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohara Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 my 320d has 300 front and 294 rear. Euro carparts got these right with just the reg No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuBeeDoo Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 I just assumed they would know as I had no idea of sizes. Oh well, back off to ECP I go Might not need to. The last 7 characters of your VIN into either RealOEM or bmwfans will confirm, but I can't make 320i touring any other than 300mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilferco Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 My 52 Plate 320i Saloon has 300mm discs on it. I always assumed the 286mm ones were for pre-facelift 316/318s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley1995 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Well i wish i had seen this about 30 seconds sooner. Ive just ordered new discs and pads all round from ECP website for mine.. Will have to go double check now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob- Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 My 52 Plate 320i Saloon has 300mm discs on it. I always assumed the 286mm ones were for pre-facelift 316/318s? Pre facelift 320d too. Could have sworn that everything bar 325/328/330/m3 have 286mm. Could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
