BBK Weights?

MAK2008 · 11-22-2011, 05:59 PM

Does anyone know the weights for various bbk kits and how they compare to OEM brake weights?

I've searched around but can't find any specifics.

I'm just trying to figure out how much unsprung weight reduction can realistically be achieved by going to some forged wheels and new brakes... not that I can afford that anytime soon.

There's lots of info on wheels, but I can't find much on the brakes. Thanks.

I saw a thread about this on m3post. IIRC roughly 10lbs can be shaved off, even with much larger rotors.

Depending on vendor, roughly 2-3 lbs per corner came be saved over OEM brakes.

If I remember correctly, on the 335i you will see about 7.5 lbs per corner of weight savings.
