OEM BMW Performance Brake System

Re: OEM BMW Performance Brake System

Orig brakes can do the job for street driving

THis Performance brakes take the braking perf to another level so should be decent upgrade

It's listed as US$1,325 for the front pair presumably. This is very good value...

Yes they do have.
If i am not wrong 4 set price is US$2100+
But there are alot of debate on the compaitbilty fixture of the rear brake i think.

Cheers :)
 
Re: OEM BMW Performance Brake System

a few months back there was a lot of discussion on these brakes on e90post.com. you should take a look. not sure what car you are driving but these are not meant for 335 but some people have fitted them...

Installed them on my car a few weeks ago, so far so good. I am using the brakes with OEM E46M3 CSL rotors.

Here are some pics of the kit on my car:

Hi HellboyII (one of my favorite comic characters :) ), got them online from a place in the UK called Speed Religion. Currently I think they have applications for E46 and E85/86 cars if I am not mistaken. Email Anthony at info@speedreligion.net for more information and details.

No worries dude, might be worth considering a group buy if there are more people interested. That way, everyone can save on shipping costs which are quite high.

hi bro,

Re: OEM BMW Performance Brake System

if you guys are going ahead, make sure that they have addressed the piston seal problem. ok for street driving, but not if you are going to the track.

quite a few of the guys from the US forums have experienced problems on the track where the seals cracked BRAKE ISSUE WITH 135i CALIPERS - Bimmerforums - The Ultimate BMW Forum

there are aftermarket kits for these, but you will have to pay for it and get somebody to retrofit for you.

don't get me wrong. they are good stuff. and the price is definitely looking damn nice. just don't understand why they didn't use the OEM brembo seals instead.

So the BMW Performance Division go and market these performance BBKs for the non-biturbo 1 and 3 series and don't market anything for the biturbo crowd...? Their marketing logic seems a bit strange...
 
Re: OEM BMW Performance Brake System

Yes, just be careful on these cuz the BMW performance brakes are for rotors of 338mm, still smaller than stock 335i brakes.
