Anyone have a PDF of the BMW procedure that runs through the retrofit? I swear I saw it before but no luck finding it now. Would appreciate it if you could send it my way.

Hey guys. So finally got around to doing the retrofit, just did the rear brakes today and have a question. For any of you guys that did this on their 328i, did you need new hardware for the e-brakes? I initially put the adjuster screw on the smallest setting to make reinstall easy, and once I got the rotors on there I started adjusting/stretching the adjuster spring. I adjusted the driver's side to what seems to be the max it will extend to, and the ebrake is still not grabbing onto the rotor at all. I do see the new rear rotor hats are about 1cm wider than the old ones, maybe the e-brake hardware I have won't stretch out that much? Appreciate any input.

Did my install of M performance brakes this past weekend...Love the look of these...makes the entire car look better than the stock small calipers that came with my car.

Thanks! I love the look. Someone rolled down their window the other day at a traffic light and said...love your car and the brakes!

Installed M Performance Brakes on my F31 today! My biggest challenge was getting the lug studs off. Effing Sears had them well over 200 ft/lbs (I was lazy and didn't feel like putting on my new 398 Orbit Grey wheels last week).
All in all, it took me about 5 hours (1 hour just to remove lugs). It was a bit of a challenge getting the caliper bolts off all 4 corners. It seems like they come with quite a bit of Loctite from the factory. I let the bolts soak in PB Blaster for a bit, which helped. I bleed the system in the proper order twice, then used Reingold to activate the DSC bleed procedure to shake loose any additional air bubbles (there were some). I then VO coded SPBR to the HO-WORT folder, Using Serpent720 instructions. Quote:

Where have you seen the M Performance Brake Kit sold for under $2000.00 in the USA and what is the labor cost and hours to install at a BMW dealership.

My local dealership quoted me ~$700 after tax, depending on your location I would expect it to be cheaper.

Front:*https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LY...op_mb_pd_title Back:*https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01CF...op_mb_pd_title The back was on sales for ~$30. After properly cleaning and lube all contact parts, for ~2 weeks of driving not a single noise. Stopping power is the same for me for day to day driving. But, I have read that ceramic pads are not good for track. I decided not to change rotors (they are above minimum) and I reused sensors. Not doing the pads break-in process either. So far so good. |

I'm looking to buy the M Brake upgrade from a BMW dealer on Ebay as well, but I have the Maintenance plan and I am wondering how this may affect that, and/or the warranty? Not sure my dealer will install customer supplied parts, even if from another BMW dealer, and if I get done somewhere else I see them trying to deny any warranty/maintenance claims if they arise, no?
