Ciao salpone, ma da dove sei precisamente? 😁
I'll answer in english so that others also can understand..
I have described everything pretty much detailed a few posts up with pics included.
To summarize once again:
- you have to buy/produce eccentrical bushings like the ones that you see on the pics (a few pages back I uploaded precise measurements), remove the original bushings and press the new ones in, it's pretty straightforward..
- buy e60 345mm rear brake discs (Zimmermann is the only one that has slotted ones)
- cut the dust shield with an angle grinder so that it fits your new bigger calipers (I used the description that someone also uploaded a few pages back)
- mount everything back just like any other stock caliper, bleed the system
- admire how much prettier your car is, and hit yourself over the head because you didn't do this conversion sooner 
Don't forget: you won't be able to use 18" stock e9x wheels any more (only F30 or some aftermarket), and even for the stock 19" wheels you'll need a 10mm spacer on the rears..
If you get stuck hit me up on FB (Mihael Tutic)  |
So even with the 340 fronts and 2 piston rears OEM 17" and 18" with et35 or less wont fit? I already have 15mm spacers all around. I thought I saw some most pictures of these brakes pairs with OEM 17" et34 wheels? I'm just trying to figure out if the rear wheels will clear the calipers. If not I'll install them after winter since I have brand new Hakkas on the 285 style stocks. I test mounted the fronts and seems to clear the 340 calipers just fine.
