I’ve got everything ready and a spare set of knuckles I’ll have machined instead of the calipers. Does anyone know if apex arc-8 17x9.5’s would work to clear the calipers or does it need to be a set of 18’s?

Hello, I've read through this thread (most of it) and cant find the answer to my problem. I have a 07 e92 335i and I'm trying to install a pair of front f30 calipers. So I have 370mm front rotors from r1 concepts and when I put the caliper on, the holes from the calipers are a few mm's from lining up with the bolts on the nuckle. Any advice? Did I get the wrong size rotor?

The threaded insert or bushing on the calipers are a few millimeters back. The bolts will not go in cause the caliper sits just a little too much toward the back of the car. Hope that explains it better. It seems like the rotor diameter is too big but I measured it and they are 370mm. I also tried mounting the caliper to the stock 335i rotor on my car and it fits with almost no room to spare.

Seriously reconsidering these as an option for BBK
Anyone know if these will clear Stock M-Sports (Style 193)? Also, I will be going full M3 Suspension in the rear for LSD and upgraded axles; someone mentioned earlier in the thread that Rear M-Performance are direct bolt on to M3 knuckle; can anyone vouch for that? That way I’d have even more incentive to keep the M3 rear knuckles when I drop the subframe instead of swapping over my 335i knuckles/brakes. I’d save me the hassle of pounding half-shafts |

You are correct, I have one 340mm caliper and one 370/380mm caliper oh well... I didnt notice the difference between them until now. Thanks for the reply.

i don’t know
I haven’t gotten this far yet I was hoping others could chime in to suggest a usable rotor; hoping the e90 M3 ones would fit and I would have myself a setup but maybe that’s a little too wishful thinking The M-Performance Rear rotor and M3 Rear Rotor are nearly same dimensions; 345x24 vs 350x24. It would all depend on the “hat” “offset” really; is there one that bolts right up and centers to the M-Performance rear while going on the M3 Knuckle/Spindle (would be nice)? |

So just to reiterate:
-F30 340mm rotors and calipers (are these the "grey" multipisotn front, single piston rear?) will bolt up to a E90 328i no problem, without affecting pedal feel. -If retrofitting the rear calipers, this requires custom machining and custom brackets, and the e-brake function is lost. M master brake cylinder is also needed. -These also require a minimum of 18" wheels (why is that, when the 335i has larger rotors and can accomodate certain 17s?) Is that correct?

The F30 M-Performance Calipers/Rotors are the 370mm/345mm everyone is trying to fit and require machining and/or special brackets for the rear calipers. These require certain 18” or larger wheels If you’re looking just to upgrade to M-Sport size Brakes/Rotors on your 328i, I would honestly just suggest going with the e9x 335i stuff unless you really want/need the F30 M-Performance stuff |

How i can get this eccentric bushes?
As quoted the hints from Kosmic "!!! When the position from the caliper is not correct, you must the fixing holes from the wheel carrier 1-2mm expand in the direction of travel"... What I should do exactly? |

Hi,
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? |

Everybody, hi!
I've read this thread several times, have already upgraded front brakes with 340mm setup (my 18" didn't fit 370mm, so I had to sell them and buy 340). Now I'm going to upgrade rear. I've bought Zimmerman discs from e60, found a man who produced eccentric bushes for me, and now I'm ready... But! I have one question to those of you, guys, who used bushes - how did you centered them properly before pressing them in? And how did you pressed them into the caliper??? |
