They look great behind those wheels too! How long did it take to get used to the fluttering noise from the dimpled and slotted rotors? I am curious if it will get louder when I install the rears or if they will sound different since I will not be running the factory rotors in the rear. I have Cquence cut new rear rotors for me.

Wait the fluttering is noise is caused by the dimple and slotted rotors?! This whole time I thought it was a pad dragging from a poor bleed job I couldn't get right?!

Yeah its there... but got used to it. My next set will be driller or dimpled only, and not tracking it so not worried about the more efficient slotted aspect!

As Turner explains, dimpled AND slotted is just for show, street only applications:

Hahaha. That's funny. You didn't do anything wrong.

I may eventually go to the M3 rotors down the line since it would just require the brackets, but I am sure I can live with the noise. Hopefully I will have time to install the rear brakes this week. Work has been super slow.

Finally!!!!!!!

Did not find an option in ISTA-P for coding so I’m just gonna see how it goes.

I have an issue with the pad seeming to be too close to the hub. There is about 2-3mm on the outer edge of the rotor that is not getting contact and the inner edge of the pad hangs over a tad. This is causing a squeal when hot. I will remove the pads and chamfer the inner edges at a later date.

I ordered the rotors from Cquence brakes and it seems that the parking brake would work fine. Not that I have ever used it. Just sharing my experience.

For those interested, the F30 brake dust shields will not fit without modification. I ended up just trimming my shields, filing the edges and hitting them with some rattle can paint.

Did you use offset bushings, or drill/offset the hole to bring it out on disc. without one of these I could see the issue, I drilled mine and worked out well. I e fed up just pulling dust shields off. Nice job man!

[ki_soarer]

I used the offset bushes. It’s not really bad but my OCD was kicking in.

Got it, and we are all proud to be OCD! and why I test-fitted and adjusted a bunch to get it perfect, but easier for me to adjust obviously.

I'll be putting up my eccentric bushings and Zimmerman 370mm dimpled slotted front rotors and rear R1 Concept matched e60 dimpled slotted rear rotors very soon. Anyone around Detroit through Dayton interested in them, they only have 3500 miles on them. Shipping is probably Uber expensive but willing to at buyers cost. 300 for all 4, bushings for 50

[Yanqui67]

michaellcoates,
I would like to purchase those bushings from you if no else has spoken for them. Thanks!

Nice to see you again amigo.

Look back to page 86, looks like 2 guys you can get them from (probably more but those I have seen, and ordered the full M4 bracket conversion myself since I can't stop tinkering). Just look back there. Good luck man!

[drZ]

Thanks buddy. I've pmd one of them. Just asking on thread in case someone has a link 👍🏻

[335ai]

is a set of bbk from the e93 going to bolt right on to the f30 ?

Bout to do this myself. They should post these up in popular n54 websites and make some decent money off people that want to do the swap.

[IllSic_Design]

Well I finally got my 19's on this weekend so I can fit the 370's I have in the garage. Hopefully I'll get them on this coming up weekend.

[Silnismo]

Calipers and rotors off a M235, 340mm fit nicely with my 18s style 162. (With spacer)

[bluewater328]

So I thought I'd help myself and others by collecting the part numbers for viable replacement parts. Forgive me as I don't have them all, but I'd be happy to add them. Not sure if the original poster is still around that they could even add it to the front page.

I believe you can manually code via NCSExpert, if desired.
