smegheadgt3 · 05-17-2012, 06:45 PM

Any pictures of the side/front/top of the caliper...by that I mean the bit pointing towards the front of the car?
Any numbers on it??
I'm looking for the piston size of the front calipers!!!!

I want those rims (on the white car) soooo bad. Idk if they are available or not yet... Oh ya nice calipers!!

The first thing u gotta do is get rid of those crappy pirelli cinturatos. Good tires will really showcase those brakes.

Not according to what I read...

Why couldn't the E9x M3 come with these brakes...or at least these calipers. Our calipers look awful!

They are not a direct fit, but a kit has been made to use the calipers on the factory 335i/z4 35is rotors.

vladberca · 05-18-2012, 04:07 PM

Great option!

ORIGIN M. · 05-18-2012, 04:27 PM

To me the calipers look the same only painted. I hope I'm wrong, but they look exactly like the ones being removed other than color.

If you do a hard stop from high speeds and then get back up to speed, the brakes will cool back down very quickly. You'd need to be really hard on the brakes without much 'rest' in order to feel any fade.

Will you be selling your STOCK brakes and what did it set you back dollar wise?

Feel any difference in braking distance?

I feel the same, I think I paint mine and get the stickers

... wait for it ... on second thought I have a bit to go before my breaks wear out os I'm good for now ... besides I never see my brakes when I drive

GreekboyD · 05-18-2012, 06:52 PM

Apologies if already asked but do the calipers come in a matte black or gunmetal finish?

Not currently on the F30. Red, yellow, or orange.

Of you can fit them on my E92 ... That would be perfect ...l love the yellow calipers ... Just dayummmm

Puri1 · 05-18-2012, 09:49 PM

Looks sick mate.. but for the same feel under braking and at $3500.. its crazy expensive..
But again, it does look sick...

Otaku · 05-19-2012, 01:33 PM

Need more fade thrash feedback!! Hammer those brakes, hard accel then brake sets!

Ant Man · 05-19-2012, 05:29 PM

I hope they're more durable than the previous piss poor performance breaks (offered for the E9X range for models below 335i and 335d) also made by Brembo. The M badging will certainly impress fan boys though
