I have two ATE boosters you can play with. One is disassembled and the other is still in one piece. Im still in NZ at the moment though. The other issue you might face is the port directions. You may have to massage the lines to suit and hope they are of the same thread. TRW masters are usually a bit shorter but stubbier

I'll take you up on the offer to look at the ATE booster. No hurry as the cylinder hasn't arrived yet anyway.

I wish there was a shop that had all the milling specs predetermined that I could simply send these rear F30 calipers to - to have them machined with consistently reliable precision.

Saw this guy mentioned on another thread for an upgraded expansion tank. When I was looking at his work he had some pictures of the f30 rear calipers machined and the brackets. Seems like he might be interested in helping some people out.

For $100/120 more buys the actual M Performance rotors. Lighter. Rust free. Please don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to be negative. Those rotors from you link need to be 1/2 that price of the real deal to be appealing. 2-piece rotors started coming out for the e9x performance kit that are in the $80/90 per rotor https://autoplicity.com/3921946-pron...FUIdgQodbxwEIg That is what we need for the 370m option. 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.

Im getting my 340mm front m sports fitted on Tuesday as well as OEM 335i rears.

Ill let you know how fitment is and everything.

Should be a massive improvement over the horrible Mtec brakes that are currently on.

It'd be nice if you could share some pics and let us know how you went

Smokey33 · 06-26-2017, 08:55 AM

My local BMW are fitting them, I really cant be bothered to do it.

R99 · 06-26-2017, 09:11 AM

I have a set of brand new blue 2 pot rears for sale, with brand new OEM 535i discs or brand new F3x discs.

They don't fit the 335i on the back though?

Do you have spare booster to experiment with? I'm very sceptical that this will mount.

Its quite a tight fit between the top of the caliper and the spokes, but its enough. That's with 340mm discs.

The pedal feel is great. Obviously there not bedded In properly yet, but iam really happy with the feel of the brakes. Massive improvement over what I had.

I will try and upload some pics.

Sweet. I wanted to go to a 2 piston in the rear but half of me wants to keep the stock caliper.

I wouldn't bother, the rears don't go a great deal anyways.... and you have to mod the calipers.

I was going to paint the rears blue, but I don't think ill bother it always looks a bit lame.
