At the very least I'm expecting to be told it won't pass without new brake discs. That won't be cheap.
I had to have new front discs and pads on the M3 the other week and it takes the big ones off the M5.
£250 all in, 2 enormous discs (they've got to be >300mm, easy - the old wonky thin ones probably weighed about 5kg), 4 pads, cleaning bits and labour, and despite being non-BMW they're grand. So a Volvo should be quite cheap, if you're happy to accept non-OE bits - the BMW discs
alone were about £240 (BMW Parts couldn't decide which of 4 types I needed, making accurate comparison impossible). Oh, and you should definitely have new pads on new discs. Especially since you get the labour "for free".
