F30 Performance brakes in E92 335i

Aus335iguy · 11-03-2017, 09:30 PM

Thanks, just need to clarify with vtl if I he has hubs or if he has the carriers as well.

hughrd1_e90 · 11-06-2017, 07:56 PM

Ok gents so I have a e90 335xi 6mt. Planning on getting the 335/435 front 4 piston calipers with 340mm rotor and rear 135i 2 piston calipers with stainless steel lines and e9x m3 master cylinder. Would this be better than what I have on the car now?

You need to tell us what you have on the car, let us drive it, swap the brakes, let us drive it again and we will let you know

Yes I plan to share the info just making sure I get everything together with pics of the install. I shall be doing it this this wkn. Thanks Feuer for your help you have been very helpfully to all of us

Hey mate, ive bought m3 rear hubs and would like to hear (and see) what you put on the back ? DId you use f30 rear discs or 335i or M3?

Aus335iguy · 11-16-2017, 12:53 AM

So I got my hubs and my discs and my rear calliper and I mocked it up.

What you are looking at is an f30 rear calliper and f30 rear disc mounted on an e92 M3 knuckle.
The M3 knuckle centres the calliper a couple of millimetres outboard. but as you can see the calliper is set waaaay out.
The bolts fit through the holes, and everything else like the park brake assembly should fit... But the pads aren't anywhere near centred on the friction ring and as @yo335vert mentioned the disc retaining screw on the f30 rear disc is not in the same place on the m3 hub.

... Thoughts ?

Aus335iguy · 11-16-2017, 01:13 PM

@YO335vert Which discs and callipers did you use ? Can you share some photos please?

hughrd1_e90 · 11-18-2017, 03:41 AM

Are the front calipers the same for both i and xi? Also want to confirm that the front f30 backing plate fits but you just have to drill new holes in the plate?

I think the answers are yes and yes, but in this thread are the answers for sure.

Thank you

Re-read previous post. But if you want explained in details: e9x 336x22 > f30 330x20 Got it?

So I installed the front calipers on my 2006 e90 330i but I'm not sure which rotors do I install

Take a photo of the back of the caliper. Specifically any numbers stamped in the back

I was going to reply to him with a photo from a rotor as reference and have him figure it out. Is aggravating and I could easily be insulting here. I think I will remove myself from this threat.

There is no space for insults here, it's supposed to be informative and educational

I really need some help I wasn't gonna worry about it but the rotors that came with the calipers whip I installed they seem warped even after resurfacing so I need to but new rotors

Note the rotors have stainless steel caps
Thanks for all the help

I've identified that you have 340mm rotors and that article has the part number you need. It's up to you to decide what kind of rotors you want there's many varieties.

TheeGovernor · 12-02-2017, 05:36 PM

I just put on 340mm fronts and have a few notes.
-The heat sheilds make the new calipers harder to line up the bolt holes. But the caliper lines up fine.
- Zimmerman 340mm disc part number #150290320 is not a two piece rotor.
-The scrub area on the pad is great on the rotor.
-Brake pedal feel is still up in the air. Feels about the same as stock right now.

bmuum3 · 12-02-2017, 07:15 PM

I loved how the F30 fronts we're plug and play. I haven't really noticed brake pedal feel difference, but the looks are worth it.

Awesome thank you so much man
Have you noticed that the outer part of the rotor does no touch the pad ?

Which heat shield? The e90 heat shields or the f30?
