I plan on buying a new lower front bumper grill and using a dremel to open up more of the honey comb... You can duct air from there and still keep your fogs. This is for the post 2011 face-lift active-e front bumper.

(The numbers say 12.5% more brake torque front and 10.25% more rear just from the larger front rotors and rear pistons) Pedal effort has decreased for a given deceleration rate and the feel is VERY linear and predictable with fantastic release characteristics.
I thought that setup didn't fit under your 17" 207m's that are in that picture? You moved back down to a 300mm rotor in order clear the barrel?

I use my 17" style 262's in the winter is why I ask... I just picked up the aluminum 328i calipers (57/24/300) and 328i rears (42/20/300). I'd prefer to have the larger 330mm rotors though if they'd fit under the stock rims.
