3. 335i rear calipers and pads
4. 335i rear caliper carrier
5. 335i rear dust shields
The hubs, brake lines, master cylinders, etc...are all identical. Thus in theory it should be a straight bolt-on upgrade. For the effort you get OEM parts, better front calipers (with pads that can be changed at the track) with larger rotors all around. You also get vented rear rotors that are larger.
To be determined - does the car need to be coded for the 335i brakes?
So and of you 335i owners who buy a MSport brake kit, may I please purchase your take-off pieces?

Very interesting to hear! So from your research, the 335 front caliper would not require a 335 caliper carrier even though the new rotor has a larger diameter?
