So if you car, retrograding the brakes to 135i brakes will probably only look better to you. The 135i calipers were more show than go. They brittle parts that were damaged under high stresses and BMW said so during the 1M launch. The single piston brakes outperformed them especially track duty. You might as well buy one of those fake brembo caliper covers and put those on because at least you would keep the performance of these brakes. I see a few other discussions about doing this to non M e90s and one to an E90 M3 but was not able to find anything to help you. I would try ECS or Ebay as I regularly see many caliper adapters on there. Best wishes.

I mean thanks for the reply, I guess, but as it’s stated I’m looking to up grade the aesthetics of the vehicle in a purist form. I’m not racing her just wanna improve upon the design. We can do w/ out the sarcasm especially the one where it’s a manly car LOL it’s sort of a girly car really, it’s like telling the dealer give your shittiest car in top of the line form. Don’t @ me w/ racing especially when you’re not racing it yourself all those technicalities you mention and you have no podium finishes
