Brembo front calipers for my f32....
Hello everyone.
I just bought a pair of Brembo M performance FRONT calipers (the blue ones) for my F32 that I want to install by next week. As shown in the picture my f32 came with the grey unpainted front Brembo calipers. My question is: Do I need to change the front rotors? Do I need to make any modification? Or just switch the calipers? I believe for these M blue brembos I need the 370mm rotors, but both brembo calipers (the blue ones and the grey stock) look pretty similar to me. Any information is greatly appreciated! Thanks! Last edited by Miami305; 01-15-2019 at 11:00 AM.. |

Yes the blue ones need 370mm rotors and the grey ones need 340mm rotors.
The blue caliper mount is slightly extended compared to the grey one.

Look on the back of the blue calipers because they also came in a 340mm variant which wouldn't need a new rotor. There's always a marking on them to dictate which carrier/rotor it uses.
Also, you should probably do this kind of research before you purchase parts.

This one should say 370/380 actually but as far as I know would only work with the 370mm on none M cars.

I'm currently looking at the possibility of purchasing a set of blue F80 front+rear calipers. Does this mean I'd need 380mm or 370mm rotors for my F32? I'm unsure what dictates the sizing difference - is it the mount? |

The actual Knuckle/Carrier that the entire caliper mounts to is different between M Cars and ours.
