After three years of tracking my E82/135i, piston tops are chipped, and dust boots have disintegrated. Im due for a front caliper rebuild. Ive been debating on whether I should do the RB stainless steel pistons swap and RB high temp blue dust boots, versus upgrading to an aftermarket BBK. I would certainly consider M235i calipers from a scrap/salvage yard as a replacement, if they fit, and they tolerate heat better than my stock 135i calipers...
Front is 100% direct fit like e90 335i calipers and rotors. Hint - look for unpainted Canadian F30 version of the calper to use with 340mm rotors 370mm rotors need a special version for the F30 caliper, from /M perf kit or tall version of Blue.
Rear = no, modification is needed to the Wheel carrier :O, look at e90post long threads
