What if you use the f30 rear hubs for the rear of the e90.. are they interchangeable?

I honestly don't see why 15" is being pushed, not significant gains vs 16" that a lot easier to fit.

No, and even if it was not cost efficient, so forget about it.

Wow that's an insane price for a BBK for these cars. Looks cool though.

I agree on the price...... :thumb down,

The factory F30 performance brake kit retails for around $2,200- $2800 including the rear BMW performance rotors. Therefore it seems like ECS tuning wants an extra $1,600.00 for the caliper brackets that they designed for the rear, and the two piece rotors.

I might be oversimplyfing this a lot but I haven't been able to really break down the package.

Maybe they will sell me just the caliper brakes, brake lines???

If you're patient and scour the internet this setup can easily be had for under $2k. I purchased the kit in Phoenix Yellow for just that including rear rotors and spent less than $100 for a used M3 master cylinder.

Search Ebay and the classifieds on e90/f30/80post
For approximately $2500 total you can have these on your car, installed, brand new.

It seems that most of this discussion is centered around the 370mm F30 setup. I understand the 340mm F30 setup is also considered an upgrade on the E90. Are any of you running the 340mm setup on the E90? Apologies if I missed this from previous posts, just looking for feedback.

real difference with original brembo gt only in bridge in the middle.
but caliper design without bridge more practical - easier to change pads, you don't need to take off caliper.
This is what I meant by different casting. These two calipers are indeed different. I don't think is the same machined caliper :-)

None of you guys have gotten the ECS kit? 18s needed according to the description and comes with all parts necessary to install with no extra machining.
