I have a friend that wants to change the brakes on his 00 bemmer....

Are there any special tools that we need to do the job or is it okay to use the regular metric/ Standard wrenches and sockets...

the tools you mentioned will be fine but you need to have the rotors checked for runout and thickness undersized rotors will cause front to vibrate and overheat which will ruin your new front pads
