I always thought M Sport discs were 340mm regardless of engine size, unless you spec’d the M Performance brakes and then these came with 370mm discs. I’m gonna physically check today to see what size discs I have.

If your car is a 35d and has factory fitted blue M Sport brakes, it will have 370mm front and 345mm rear. The M Performance calipers you mention are 370 units, but were only available as a dealer fit accessory (not factory fitted) and came in either Red, Orange or Phoenix Yellow. |

Quick update: After weeks of researching the best prices of 370mm front discs, I stumbled across a private seller on eBay with a pair of reasonably priced Brembo grooved/dimpled 370mm discs.
Suspect they are the same as the OEM M Performance discs as they look identical. As for pads, I can’t seem to find the Ate ceramic pads for the fronts, just the originals. BMW genuines are Ł130, as are the Brembo Xtra’s. Any recommendations for daily/fast road use to suit the Brembo grooved/dimpled discs?

IIRC the 340mm and 370mm calipers share the same pads If not those then the Brembo HP2000s seem to get good reviews I've stuck with OEM BMW and TBH they've been superb; great braking, quiet, not very dusty and have performed from some very hard/fast driving to dead stops with zero issues https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265167767...Bk9SR7CEhbDeYw

OEM Jurid pads. They are quiet and bite very well from cold. Very dusty, but it comes off easily and doesn't attack the clear coat like a lot of aggressive fast road pads do.

Starting to build up the parts required for disc & pad replacement.
Gone for full on Brembo. Got the matching rear discs, just waiting for HP2000 rear pads.

If not already; worth spending another Ł100 and getting HEL braided lines IMO

Nice! That little lot should work well as a package with the Brembo calipers
What are the dimples for? I've seen holes and grooves before, but dimples! |

Tasked myself to do all 4 discs & pads today.
Didn’t go well…………nearside front disc retaining bolt was seized, so had to drill out & use an easy out. The disc dropped off but noticed that the bolt had sheared in the hub. So more drilling. 4 hours later the nearside front was done! Took 7 hours in total to do both fronts Old & new photos below. Rears are for another day.

Good job well done
Had this issue on my previous F01; thankfully it was on my pals ramps and his selection of drill bits is hell of a lot better than mine was at that time... Soon got it out And yes; they do look good behind the wheels

I found a receipt with the stack of docs with the car. Seems it was well looked after and met my standard of OCD when I went to view it. Brake calipers got a clean after fitting discs & pads. Yes, i am quite anal when it comes to detailing

Good looking discs. You have a locking wheel nut on the wheel...
I have driven away few times with a locking wheel nut, once found it close to a driveway, the other day lost it. Replaced with aftermarket one, and this one was really snug fit, I once departed with it straight to wheel alignment to find that its not on the boot but still sticking in the wheel 10 miles after.
