What would be a ballpark figure for a new BMW 6 cylinder coupe in the early 2000s! A guy I work with (occasionally) has just bought one from here and would like an idea. Partly as he??

Chuck the plate into carjam.co.nz , it often has NZ new prices for the same model
There must be more to it than pads and rotors to get a $1400 bill though

Good idea re the plate. Hopefully its at school on Monday. Re the $1400 - it's basically just pads/rotors.

I replaced all the rotors and pads on my E36 320i for around $600, that was a 1997, but the newer ones are similar.

"a new BMW 6 cylinder coupe in the early 2000s!" Is it new or is it eleven years old!

That's about what he was thinking. It would be nice to be a bit more objective about it though.

#1- 2001/2-new. $106/110,000 BMW 330i, $85/95,000 320i.

Cheers. That's what we wanted. I think its a 330. His ballpark of $100k wasn't far off.

They're a damned good car. Powerful brakes, and suggest that only OE, or OEM, rotors and pads be used as aftermarket ones don't seem to last as long on them.

Christ I could fly up from Chch - buy all the parts & even some tools up there & still not charge him that much (incl flights / accommodation / booze)
