Just curious, but what have those of you who upgraded from 328i brakes to 335i brakes do to make the e-brake parking brake functional? What was most cost-effective?
From looking on the boards, some say get the e-brake assembly from realoem, another thread showed pics of how they were able to cut and weld the parking shoe for the 328 into place of the 335 parking shoe mold. The parking shoe mold seems to be the most cost effective. Then again, I have no clue what is encompassed when guys refer to the e-brake "assembly". In looking at realoem, there are so many parts that I have no clue what is needed. I also got mixed information stating that the e-brake isn't as easy as just swapping in the assembly, and that a hub conversion too is needed. At this point I'm pretty damn confused.
Hopefully someone who has successfully done this retrofit can help out and chime in. Since I have an auto transmission though, I guess I could always just say screw the pkb lol.
