ATE disc suppliers in Western Cape for E36?

[Just-ify]

Hey guys

Does anyone know where I can get ATE discs for a 316i (e36) in the Western Cape?
Nobody seems to have them. Midas has a stock code, but none of the branches seem to have... :/

Thanks DanielJames, I'll give them a shout. I live in Stellenbosch so ideally anything up to Belville would be ideal, but if push comes to shove I will drive through.

I've already bought the ATE pads - I'm just wondering, should I be stressing to get matching ATE brand discs, or are the generic Motorpart etc. good enough for solid discs?

My discs were skimmed about 3000km ago, but from what I've read on the forum, most people advise against skimming...

I skimmed my fronts because according to the bentleys manual they were still in spec. Also I fitted ferodo rotors on the back. No probs....just don't buy really cheap discs. I had motorpart/autopart on my corsa bakkie and they warped in 3 months. Rather spend the cash for a decent disc

Thanks for all the help guys. Did some phoning around and came across some really unexpected info.

I phoned the local BMW dealership (just out of curiosity - was planning on ignoring them since I assume everything is more expensive at the dealers) and they quoted me R220 per disc.!!

ATEs at Midas were running for R550.

Small miracles... I don't ask how or why, I just swipe my card and run for the door

Thanks for all the valuable contact info.
