Welcome to the forum firstly!

I would also say DIY if possible since it is actually pretty simple provided you have the tools etc. But any decent brake and clutch workshop should be able to do this easily.

For the pads, I would recommend sticking to the OEM pads (even though they are technically ATE, the OEM pads do have a slightly different composition of friction material, at least this is what I have heard).

I would also say Garage 808, but maybe get a quote from BMW SMG just for good measure.

Hi

You could try any Hi-Q fitment centre. They have quite a few branches, recently had my rear pads fitted along with the sensors. They are also one of the few places that actually stock the ATE's.

Service was good, only thing is I had to manually reset the brake wear indicator afterwards, otherwise it will give errors on the OBC.

You can try ANG service centre in Killarney gardens, they may be a little more expensive but its the only guys I would trust to do any work on my car.
