When I got my 323 I was told it pulled to the left and this was the reason why 8O I have now fitted a new caliper and pads. I have never seen anything like this before.

It looks like the backing plate has bent, causing the pad to start peeling off 8O

well my 325i auto has them and one side seems to wear the pads in evenly but not as extreme as that!

but all my other e30's have had ATE calipers and worn the pads nice and flat.

Who knows?!
