2 per car.
$38.95
(x2 right? so total $80?)

Grand total: $110 [for pads and rotors]
and bring to my mechanic, he should be all set to replace the rears correct?
The mintex pads are fine, they are the cheaper ones out of the bunch, but they are quality.
Yes, I just had my fronts replaced at ummmm.... I prob shouldnt even say this but.... Firestone. Dont get mad! My brakes were down and my car was already on their lift, etc., so I just did it... I'm sure they didnt ruin anything bec luckily I got a guy who works on his own BMW and upgrade, etc., so he was all into it... sometimes I rather get it done rather than have to take it somewhere 30 miles away... I dont have a good BMW guy near me. But NEXT time i need to replace my fronts, I'll do this again, but maybe a little more upgrade if I have the cash then.

That's fine, we have all been in a pinch before. I just thought that replacing the rears only was strange.
