    Talk to them ^^^^^ they woulda/coulda saved you a ton from the dealer!

    Are you sure it's even 318ti brakes on you 318ti? Could have been upgraded to a differant model or the pads your dad bought may just have been for a differant model 318.

    I was about ready to say the same thing. Kyle (slowrolla) helped me with my brakes last week and we had the same problem that you are having til with compressed the piston. Clamps or a small pc of wood with a small hammer should do the trick

    (Excuse me, I'm bored).........It turns out it was a stupid question after all! j/k
    Don't you mean compress the piston in the caliper?

    Oh yeah, take it to Thomas @ AutoFab if your friends have no luck with it. I'm sure he'll figure it out, not to mention he loves helping females



    On another note..........
    What's up Thomas? Did you hear about my Porsche-"sizzle"..........yes, it caught fire!

    I got $5 on this, push piston into caliper, voila.
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA
