Its time to service my 2007 BMW 750i: 60,000-miles. What is a ballpark cost to service vehicle? Is there any creditable shops other tham BMW that can service BMW cars? what to it cost to replace front and rear break pads. Is there a set of break pads that do not allow so much dust to the wheel/rims.
First answer is the easiest to answer
brake pad comes in 3 compositions
hard for extreme brake work --taxi applications
intermediate --for every day drivers and conservative brake applications
soft for high speed stops and braking as in race cars
The dust generated is in direct ratio to your driving habits and brake applications at 60,000 miles it should not be necessary to replace chains but tensioner and wear pads may need adjustment
get reputable brake professional shops to do the brakes as there may e a need to machine the disc rotors before fitting new pads
That makes quoting from here difficult to do as an inspection is required first
Find accredited service shops with experience on BMW cars and get service quotes but I would expect the account to be around $1000.00 aud for the service as it is a big service and should include all fluid changes , Brakes , transmission , diff , coolant, power steering
suspension checks , fault code readings , possible plugs and leads
It will all be in the service schedule book

Hi Joanna, What you are seeing is perfectly normal and occurs on any automobile because the front brakes wear faster than the rear. Notice that when you step on the brake, the weight of the car shifts forward, putting extra stress on the front breaks. Next time in a parking lot, notice the same dirty front wheels of other cars.

hi from the uk considering what you say in your post and this is a present for your g/f may i suggest for her safety that you have a qualified mechanic take a look at the cars brakes and steering/suspension components and give you an unbiased written report on the above for peace of mind also to ensure it is safe for g/f to drive considering age of car and how long it has been stood/off road ??? last time serviced etc ? there are many things to consider if vehicles are layed up for long periods such as deteriation of belts brakes and steering parts seizure as the answer you were given as to why rear brake/s were stuck ??on seems he knew this?? and maybe other problems which will be discovered if you have safety inspection/report ? and will be worth it knowing g/f is safe on highways (posing ? ) hope this helps and at the end of the day car is a good buy best wishes from uk

How many miles has this car traveled ?
I have never heard of a front thrust rod bushing (could be a termaolgy thing).....
I would be getting a second opinion on this !

I have the same car. The dealership wanted to charge me $155 to go into the computer and give me the passkey.
One of the techs just told me how to find it myself:
Inside the trunk, on the left side behind the DVD player, there is a box that sits at a 45 degree angle. Right above that box, there is a box that is shaped like a VHS tape. Unscrew that box and on the other side you will see bluetooth PK: and your four digit number.
That saved me $155 dollars and now I can talk hands free through my car.
