Cool, just didn't know if it actually mattered. They should label these suckers or something.

In Turner Motorsports install, it looksl like they did the rears like yours and the front the opposite was -

But I think yours is the right way...

I don't mean to jack your thread BUT.... I just installed mine and my brakes are spongy as all hell. I can drive it around semi-carefully but if I need to slam the brakes to stop short, I'd probably be screwed.

I bought a Motiv power bleeder from Turner Motorsport and the thing wouldn't pressurize to over 5psi so I'm sure that's the issue. Need to contact Turner and Motive. Almost there!... At least they look cool

Edit: I also installed the Challenge SS lines w/ my kit

That's really odd....I just had a track day with mine and they were amazing. I mean flipping amazing, like I was out braking M3's out there. So I think the install was off for you...?

Have to agree with Shivas,

Just installed my BMW BBK on my 328i and the pedal feel is heaps better than stock.. still bedding in now but its all good.

Damn, well I obviously suck then. Did you guys install on your own or have a shop to it? I'm going to have to try and rebleed the brakes - I know that's the problem. I can't believe this Motiv power bleeder is bunk.

Also, when I was asking about which way to install the rotors, the rotors actually point a different way on the driver's side vs passenger side. You guys have the damn deal?

I have the M Sport brakes (upgraded blue calipers) which are the same brakes except for discs and I also feel that they are a bit spongy. I expected better feel from the brakes, but I wouldn't call them bad or anything. But worse than I thought.

Oh yeah I had the dealer do it...for $500 it was worth the headache.

So EASIEST way to determine the correct way it should go in...the directional vanes:


Ignore the dimples and everything else....

Yes that's what I was going to go by and then realized all of my rotors are exactly the same so one side of the car has slots faced in the opposite direction as the other. Same for you?

Also, I'm going to post a thread about this but maybe you know. I re-bled my brakes this morning and 3 of the corners really didn't have any air bubbles and then the front drivers side had tons. Like air just kept coming and coming. Is that typical for one corner to have most of the air or is that a sign of a problem?

So hows the bedding going guys ? Would love to hear them more compare to the stock.
Is it really worth it for a change on 328i ?

Bedded in, pretty awesome. Just as catchy as OEM, but much more track worthy...
