Thanks for all the input on this thread!

Have just fitted 340mm fronts on a 325I/330I e91 LCI touring with a standard MC. All is good a great upgrade...

But Im wondering at what point is it advantageous to code for sport braking? And is there any more info as to where this coding option is?

- I have NCS i'm just struggling to find where the option is for spot braking? Can anyone assist?


thanks

I know nothing about coding but am going to learn as part of this upgrade. Doing my research I found this coding instruction in the directions for the e92 performance brakes...



Does anyone know if the new Bimmergeeks android coding ap can activate this feature?

You need to add +SPBR to the VO (CAS and FRM) and then default code the DSC.

I think, it's not a problem at all. But I'm in Russia, and I have absolutely no idea about the prices of delivery...

Blooming Excellent thanks!

You need to use NCS Expert in expertmode to add, using FA_Write, +SPBR into your VO, and use expertmode to default code the DSC module. There will be nothing in your DSC module that you can code aktiv or nicht aktiv, it's done by VO only.

You should make a video

Hello everybody. I know this is about F30 calipers but I wonder if this kind of stuff - https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-5er-G30...d=192593787501 - G30 calipers will fit in front of e92?
Thanks for any tip.

Of course, it is!
But before selling and sending it to anyone anywhere I have to install it myself to be shure, that they work, and that they are made of proper size / that they give proper caliper center offset. That's why I'm asking for experience of those of you guys, who used them - how to press them into the caliper? Or any ideas about how to do it?
I can ask my master to produce as many bushings as you want guys, and send it to you )))

I can't help with info, but I'd be in for a set.

Ooookey, guys!
I've done it! It was not hard in realty. The only hard thing was to find the way to press the bushings into the caliper.
So, I'll describe what was done, and how. I hope it will be usefull for those who are looking for rear brakes upgrade ways.
I have e90 LCI 330d xDrive - maybe it has some importance.
I've purchased:
1. Custom eccentric bushings from one man, who helped me before with machining works.
2. 345mm Zimmerman discs from e60 (#150346120)
Tools:
1. scissors for metal
2. dremel
What was done:
1. Take the wheel off
2. Unscrew a little brake line from the original caliper while it is still mounted
3. take off the caliper (still connected to the brake line), take off brake disc
4. cut disc shield to fit new caliper with scissors or dremel. process sharp edges with dremel or smth
5. the most interesting part - pressing bushings into the caliper
I've used 10*60mm bolt and 3 spacers from one side, connected the bolt and bushing and positioned it properly (used my eye to measure). then I've started bind them slowly using PNEUMATIC WRENCH tool )))))))))
Pressed a little one bushing, then pressed another, then checked proper dimensiones using the brace from the original caliper. After I was shure that bolts are going in and out properly, I've binded the bushings to the end, and checked with the brace finally.
that's it. nothing difficult
6. then I've checked that nothing interrupts hand brake pads (when you cut the shild you may move smth a let smth what will interfere.
7. mounted brake disc and checked if it spins without problems.
8. disconnected old caliper from brake line, and immidiately connected the new one
9. mounted new caliper, checked the center position and found that it's perfectly centered
NOT ANY MACHINING of the caliper was done! No need at all!!!
10. mounted all the rest, it's not interesting
that's all.

By the way. YOU NEED to add brake fluid!!!
And you will hear some awfull sound in the beginning, while the pads will be in process of matching with the discs, as discs have some coat...

You are welcome with your questions
And now, after I'm sure that everything works, I'm ready to help you with the bushings

Yes plug & play with m3 or m4 f serie, but only with disc 370mm.

Serie G i don’t know ???

I would have added them with pleasure, if I had...
I was in a hurry to try it, it was rainy outside, and the car was wet and dirty...
So I had only one dream - to finish it. I have only 3 photos: bushings, caliper centered on the disc and photo of how it looks like... Not informative at all unfortunately.
You are welcome with your questions

OK. How about some assistance in buying these bushings?

[Firechicken]

glad to see that someone installed the bushings and that it works like a charm.. the guy that sold me the bushings also promised an easy install but I was kind of skeptical to be honest.. you made my day!


I know I´m kind of a slowpoke with the install, but I really don´t have the time at the moment.

if nothing else, I picked them up from the brake repair shop, new caliper cylinders and freshly powder coated, finally ready to be installed.


the only thing that remains to be decided is the colour of the M logo

Hi!
Can you give more detailed instruction?
NCS Expert is ready, cable is working.
+SPBR what to do?
DSC what to do?

please!
