New here not sure how this wirks but j have a 2011 335i m sport with 18” mv3 style 193 wheels and want to know if the f3x 370mm rotor and calipers will clear with my wheels. Thanks

You need 19s for the 370 mm.

Suggestion: I was perfectly happy with my 340/330mm swap into my f31d and that’s the heaviest 3 bmw has ever made,
except maybe the M.
Startling improvement over the stock 312/300 (smallest brakes they make) and really filled out my 18” 400m.


My plan for e91 is thus 340mm f30 335 front brembos, amd e90 335 rears so I won’t have to go larger than 18s…
Though homestly for now the stocks are perfectly fine.

370mm works with 18" wheels, if you use the right wheel. F8x M3/M4s came with 18" wheels standard (513).

True, 380/370 do barely fit under 513 after you take any barrel wheel weights off the wheel and also take the counter balance weights off the pads.

but I can just about Gay Ron Tea they aren’t fitting under 193s.

Btw, thinking about it now… I’m pretty sure the possible existence of 18s on M3/4 is why their PN for pads don’t have the counterweights but the mPerf /msport pads do.
The ones you want, though also the dustiest, are the msport pads.

I run 380mm on my 335is with 513s, barrel weights and balance weights aren't a issue. A few 18's will work, just depends on the barrel design. I have a set of Apex EC-7's and they work as well. It's true that the vast majority of BMW 18's will not work though.
