So it seems these do fit on 18" according to this thread So much different information, I guess the only way to find out is to buy them and go for it

They won't fit on an E9x due to the hubs being different so the rotors won't mate directly (according to the shops that have tried it).
The 370mm rotors aren't too big to fit under 18" wheels, it depends on the caliper clearance. |

Unfortunately these don't fit, but there are a lot of options and depending on your specific need you can find something that will fit both for the car and for the usage of it. |

stock brakes are just fine for street driving even at those power levels (our brakes are pretty decent from the factory they just look ugly) if you want some improvement, more aggressive pads + stainless steel lines would probably be enough. BBK's dont really offer more "stopping power" per say, they can just be driven harder/longer without boiling/fading.

Don't think so.
I did my wish list spec on an F31 m sport from BMW website. You can opt for the 370mm rotors and coloured calipers with stock oem 18" alloys |

Racing Brake has an alternative solution...You can either use the OE style rotor or their two-piece high performance rotor. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...t=racing+brake Last edited by HP Autosport; 02-13-2013 at 09:06 PM.. |

What is your opinion on the Racing Brake kit? Could you please elaborate more on it's effect on the brake bias? I have big reservations about upgrading just the front rotors, calipers and pads and leaving the rear unchanged. Thanks in advance. Vasil

RB did their hw and sized the front pistons correctly so I don't see any issues with brake bias. The same design philosophy went into Stoptech and other BBK's so you will often see a front only upgrade is needed(Heat should be the top reason why you are upgrading your brakes. Some will disagree, but that is another discussion).

1. 348x30 front rotors and calipers 2. 360x30 front rotors and calipers 3. 380x32 front rotors and calipers Surely, there must be other differences than just heat dissipation. Do you think the brake bias changes across the kits? ...or am I misunderstanding how brake bias works? Vasil

You are right, the larger the rotor the more bias towards it, but manufacturers often use different piston sizes to compensate. |

I saw this question asked but not answered. If you were able to source 370mm rotors that fit the hub... would you then be able to direct bolt on the f30 M performance calipers and pads?
