Changing all 4 discs and pads

How long should I allow to change all 4 discs and pads on my 3.2i FL2

I have access to tools and a decent trolley jack and a large garage.

I have done discs before on a 3 series

Anywhere between 3 hours and 12 hours. I see your Freelie is 2007; it all depends upon the progress ôf rust.
.
The problems might be discs seized to the hubs being jammed with rust equally the handbrake adjusters might be siezed so you might have a fight getting the rear discs off.
.
You need an early morning start and don't expect it all done in a day.

That's good, you couldn't buy LR parts for that price and do an MOT so I guess they weren't LR?

Speaking of which my daughter was quoted £190 recently to replace front discs and new pads all round on a Renault Megane by a Renault dealer. I priced up using genuine Renault parts (it's under warranty) and it came to over £200 just for the parts. Strange pricing or perhaps Renault Dealers don't use their own parts. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

I supplied genuine LR parts, they provided consumables,disposal of old parts and the VAT was in that amount.
MOT was £40
