My college-age son (Austin, Texas) needs rotors replaced on his 95 325I, and doesn't want to spend $400. (Pads were replaced a few months ago, and he put off spending on the rotors.) I'm handy with tools, pretty mechanical, and have tackled water pumps, alternators, starters, etc. on American and Japanese cars, and motorcycles, but haven't done brakes (except on motorcycles). What advice can you offer on replacing rotors on a BMW. I have heard the hard part is a bolt that secures the rotors, and sometimes it must be drilled out. Any advice would be appreciated. Any specialized tools needed?
