I don't have a booster yet no. Which bit do you think will need work?

You'll also need a matching fluid reservoir. I have two spare ATE ones but i doubt they will mount as i'm willing to bet between the manufacturers they probably dont share port diameters and even if they did, the gap between the inlets might be different.

I'll be home in about a week

Honestly, I don't expect any bit to fit, from mounting points, to bore and push-in rod length/stroke. If it does fit I would be very very surprised.

you're probably right but for my sake I hope you're wrong

Should've just bought a LHD M3 master because you'll be up for modifying the plumbing anyway that's the alternative route i would've done.

Buy LHD master and either make your own hardlines or get a pair of braided lines made up.

There is a wrecker in Revesby from memory (or somewhere in that part of Sydney) who had a very low mileage M3 but it's an early model one, pre LCI. He was pretty firm on the price though. I will have to check on my computer when i get back

Thanks mate, but if I can fit it I'll get more front bias so it may well be worth it. Cost me 100bucks see what happens eh?
Hope the holidays going good mate!

Front 340mm 4 Pots off a F20 135i on my 2009 N54 DCT

[Smokey33]

Very impressed with the initial 'bite' and the pedal feel is really good. Pleased with them......

My previous brakes were cheap Mtec discs though and stoptech pads, so im not comparing to stock.

Which pads did you use ?

[Smokey33]

OEM

The reason I ask is because OEM pads give great feel but also dust. I hate cleaning the wheels but I'd rather good feel. Some say that ceramic pads have the same similar feel but I have my doubts.

[Smokey33]

I don't mind cleaning the wheels once a week, worth it for good feel. I cant see them fading on the road.

If you put some good wax on every so often, after a good clean there easy to clean.

Are you running a brake pad sensor?

Get ebc red pads. They're ceramic but have kevlar impregnated in them. Oem feel, almost no dust, less expensive.

Yeah, you can see it on the pic mate.

Looks great!
Stock E9x 335i brakes (genuine pads and discs) have very good initial bite and strong friction though. I actually prefer it to my Brembos as i find them easier to modulate. I find that the pedal is firm with good bite but the increase in friction is not very linear.

I now have Roadhouse/Remsa pads but they work best with slotted discs as they glaze easily. Been driving a Santa Fe CRDi for the past week. Gets great fuel economy and hauls arse for a 2.2L barge but the brakes are weak and inconsistent. Very comfy and quiet for a diesel, very well insulated cabin too. The Koreans have come a long way. Heated steering wheel is a Godsend here with the snow falling everywhere almost

Also if you look for deal on line you can score deep savings. I got my front and rear replacements for $640 shipped to my house.

PM me with the details.

380 mm discs from an m4 on an f30... interesting way of doing it

I thought I'd replied to this but I hadn't...
I think youre right about the turner ones being expensive they were just ones that I had found and thought it's good to share.
I specifically want to find cheaper but I'm struggling to find them TBH !

[QUOTE=Kevin_The_Clean1;21647288]Thanks for all your help fellas. These F30 calipers with the 370 mm discs are simply awesome & the E90 MC was the icing on the cake. The corresponding rears are still too much work & a large headache to make it worth my time at this point. But perhaps down the line when we can work out the bugs & someone can make a simple bracket for us - I'll finally buy a set.

The clamping force (brake torque) & stopping precision these offer are well worth the money. I'm currently still seasoning the rotors & bedding the pads followed by scheduling one last blake bleed. After that, I can really see what these are capable of...
:thump:

How much is the whole kit?

[juld0zer]

If anyone in Sydney wants a pair of slightly used (35k km) 340x30mm genuine rotors to suit the 340mm version of this upgrade, PM me. They are well above the minimum thickness.

What's the bracket look like I might be able to make one. I need a drawing though a good one, if I can help I will
