Brought to a juddering halt....

[Dalek]

Apparently I have warped discs on my 2002 Z3. Any idea on what I can expect to pay to have them replaced.

Depends on the type of replacement. A good brand is Brembo, Pagid are also decent quality. Basically speaking the cheaper you go the more likely you will be revisiting this issue in the not too distant future. I replaced mine with M-Tec drilled and grooved ones which are well used amongst members if you want to upgrade. Euro Car Parts often have a discount code available but beware as sometimes the in store prices are better than online. Shop around.

Thanks for the advice Tony. Much appreciated.

Could be worth checking that worn bushes on the front aren't contributing to the problem also.
Just saying, as I still had brake judder after upgrading the disks and pads.

give carparts 4 less ago there quick on delivery....i also had a lot of wheel judder after driving a while thought it may be wheel balance or warped disk turned out to be piston sticking & not returning heating up & distorting wheel .

Yep had the exact same issue even after fitting new discs and pads, new calipers sorted it

I forgot to add that I already had new calipers before new disks and pads.

Carparts4less is another part of Euro Car Parts and more often than not Carparts4less is cheaper for the same parts. Always worth checking out both web sites for the parts you require to find the cheapest. Another one to check is GSF Parts on line. I usually check out all three before parting with my cash.
https://brakeparts.co.uk/ is also worth checking out, used them in the past, quite competitive with the others.

Thanks for all the advice.
Pagid discs and new pads fitted and all is now fixed.

I thought I had wrapped discs too at the front, however it was just a bit of 'cooked' pad on the disc. Make sure not to 'hold' the brakes, especially after heavy braking.
I managed to 'clean't the discs by making sure to brake steadily, and making sure NOT to hold the brakes.. let the car move a tiny amount when you are stationary, that prevents the pad from 'melting' on the disc.
