That looks like it would probably do the job, but I was looking for something with a base that attaches to the vehicle, so it can't be easily disturbed when taking measurements. > >> I'm planning to service the brakes on my '98 M3. > >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Exactly.

I'm planning to service the brakes on my '98 M3.

I'd like to get a good quality dial gauge to check rotor run out, and a
clamp to keep the gauge steady. I've seen pictures of a Honda clamp
which is basically a flexible arm which attaches to the vehicle near
the wheel, with the gauge attached to the other end of the arm.

Does BMW make something similar? Or can anyone recommend a specific
make/model of a clamp/gauge set?

Thanks
