how come the 128 can't have the rear 2 piston callipers like the 135?

no, the knuckles don't line up with the shoes, 135i brake shoes or not, so they will not touch the rotor

I've asked this question time and time again with BMW... "why don't you just sell the kit as a front just like with the 328i?"

The answer is because Germany doesn't, and apparently the rear brakes on the German 1's are not as good as the US 1's, so the kit comes with 6 piston front calipers, but factory US-Spec rear calipers.

Additionally, 135i kits do work on 128i's but the use of the e-brake is eliminated due to the shoes not being able to touch the rotors.

would these brakes fit on a 335i? eventhough they have smaller rotors? or can i install the original rotors on these calipers for my 335?

UdubBadger · 03-29-2012, 07:41 AM

fronts fit - rears do not

when you say it fits, do you mean with the 135i rotors and calipers, it would fit directly on a 335?

in terms of the rears, do you mean that the calipers wont fit? or just the rotors, if so, can i use my original rotors with the rear 135i brembo calipers?

UdubBadger · 03-30-2012, 08:02 AM

yes with rotors/calipers.

the rears there is some issue with brackets and loss of parking brake, it doesn't bolt up properly.

UdubBadger · 03-30-2012, 08:03 AM

PM RicerX - he tried to do it and ended up only being able to use the fronts on his 335i.

I checked a little while ago, price seems to have gone up by about 1k

Greenkirby21 · 05-12-2012, 10:03 PM

ya, BMW changes the prices a lot and what specials they have. I remember the carbon fiber strut brace was going for 399 at a point and now its back to over 1k

Currently 135i brake kits are $1950 plus $95 shipping within the US

128i brake kits are $1650 plus $95 shipping within the US

tranism · 07-12-2012, 11:39 PM

Still upset I missed this since I didn't get my 1er until 2012. The performance brakes are so expensive now.

drinkcoke3 · 07-13-2012, 11:18 AM

Dan - how much for just the front rotors + anything else associated with them? i already have the rotors. Shipped to 11023

Thanks
