Quick Front F30 brake swap question...

Biginboca · 09-25-2018, 08:44 AM

Putting together parts for my brake upgrade and have a question...

Are the basic Grey front Brembo calipers that come with the F30 340x24mm rotors the same as the Brembo blue painted “M///“ calipers that come with the Msport F30 340x30mm rotors?

What I’m getting at is can you upgrade to a 30mm thick front rotor if you have the unpainted Grey brembo calipers from a f30? (Pretty sure I read they are the same exact calipers.)

Speaking about the calipers/rotors shown here:

Answered my own question, lol. The answer is yes you can use any 340mm Brembo F30 Front caliper with a 30mm thick rotor.

I think you have wrong information the blue calipers have a lager rotor 370mm.

The blue come in 2 sizes. One is for 370/380mm and the other for 340mm. I was asking about the 340mm
