It's likely the same exact kit as the F30 328i and 335i share lots of suspension components, including the upright.

We will have to wait for the official release from Stoptech.

Considering the BMW's own MPerformance kit is for BOTH the 328 and 335, one would think other kits for the 335 would also be 328 friendly.

You're forgetting shipping and customs here in Canada.

After already spending close to $20,000 on my car already, I dont think I have money for the brakes. Should've kept my old wheels and put the money on these brakes...

That is a great deal for OE Performance Brakes, but that is it. We know the performance will still lack behind any aftermarket BBK. If ceramic pistons are still used, they will still crack under hard use. Pad replacment on the front calipers can be very time consuming compare to the Stoptech.

NICE looking brake kit!

So there are 2 optional rotor sizes for the front, 14" and 15"?
The fronts are 6 pot and the rears a 4 pot, right?

That's a hearty improvement over the M Performance kit, plus you get a set of steel brake lines with the kit.
It's pricier, but I'll bet the performance gain is also there, especially for track use.

Yes, you have two choices for front rotors sizes, but both will come with the 6 piston ST-60 calipers.

These Stoptech BBK will outperform the BMW Performance brakes on a track day for sure. In addition, you will have more brake pad selection and spend much less time changing brake pads.
