M performance BBK install help

2BitRoach · 10-07-2021, 03:16 PM

2016 f30 328i.. started with the rear got everything off including parking brake shoes to replace the dust shields. Cut new shields according to instructions and for the life of me i couldn't get the new shield to line up with the bolt holes and parking brake slot.. what am I missing? its my DD so I just put it back together and called it off.. any tips would be appreciated.

Sorry you had no responses. Sometimes this place can be irritating. I also believe that no many people have done the BBK install. I had mine done at the dealer due to coding for the new brakes.

Hi there.
Haven't seen your post before now.
My shop mentioned something of the same.
They decided to leave the old dust shields on and install the rest.
So far after 2 years with no issues😊

@Boostedphil698 yeah it was irritating but after cooling off from the frustration of that left rear backing plate i got it done the next day and found someone recommend from a shop to code for me.

2BitRoach · 10-09-2021, 08:37 PM

@anielsen71 yeah and the crazy part of this ordeal was only the rear left was a smaller backing plate the right side I didn't change because there was clearance for the new rotor . but all is well now bbk is in and coded .

I also didn't bother changing the dust sheilds. Its been a year and no problems.

Onizukachan · 10-22-2021, 09:34 PM

The shields were already the bigger size so there was no reason to change them.

Thanks for not posting your solution so no one in the future can gain insight on this project.

You're the worst type of forum user.

I did mention that the rear left backing plate diameter was significantly smaller. it would bind with the bigger rotor..

go back and check that corner for damage then because all cars had the bigger bearings and thus the larger shield after 2015.

I don't see every single post on the forums nor do I know every answer.

Was that so hard to post your solution? Good job. Now you have contributed to the forum with minimal effort!
