cheers! so that's working out a little better than the BMWP kit, with nice shiney colours... and braided brake lines to boot! i've never read anything on the bmwp calipers breaking, just the rotors cracking sooner than they should, but i'll take your word for it still

how about weight over OEM/BMWP, fairly similar?

compatible pads/rotors, only nashin ones, for future replacement, i mean?

out of curiosity, how much would a 6/4 pot setup be?



as a rough guide, from friends that have had engineering done, they say expect $50-$100 per mod depending on what it is, as a rough guide... pretty steep, but worth it here in QLD at least usually.
The M brakes have a different mount, it would be like trying to fit a Toyota caliper on your hub it is just night and day.
Ah, i'm guessing that bmw does it to 100% ensure that non m-cars can't easily use m-car brakes? Silly since it forces owners that want upgrades larger than just a bmwp kit to go 3rd party
