Okay, where should I buy E46 rotors again?

Having trouble finding the appropriate thread, though I could have sworn it was discussed...

Suggestions?

Looks like you can get a set of front rotors for as low as $115 + shipping (which is reasonable) + great customer service to boot.

Plaz, I've never heard you talk about having troubles with your car. Has it been trouble-free so far? How many miles?

About 85,000 now. Pretty much trouble-free. Thermostat housing (they just replace everything) under warrantee, water pump out of pocket. Other than that, just maintenance and wear items. (Which has included two new windshields)

Nothing else, though I'm a hypochondriac about the control arms/bushings. It still feels okay, but with the punishment they take on a daily basis, plus the mileage, I can't imagine they're not either shot, or on the verge.

That's cool. Glad to hear it Like we've probably said before, 2002 seemed to be a pretty good year for the E46.

85K? You've gotten good use out of that car, it's time you start seriously considering that new Mcoupe

While I'd love to, I feel compelled to get some more of my money's worth out of this E46. I think it still has a long productive life ahead of it.
