I have recently purchased new discs and pads for my 320td e46.

Could anyone give me a step by step breakdown on how to change discs and pads front and rear(pictures would be great too) or alternativly direct me to a page that has discussed this before?

All help will be greatly appreciated..

Thanks in advance

(The brake change used a M3, but the principle is the same).

You will need specialist tools, such as a caliper compressor thingy.

...if u dont understand brakes or aren't sure, my advice would be dont mess with them for the sake of saving a few quid.

I don't think the piston screw back, you can just push them back with a G-clamp.
