135i caliper + 335i rotor
Hi, does anyone know if this combination is possible? Will the caliper allow a 30mm rotor in between the pads?
There is a RB rotor upgrade using 350x28mm rotors but i know the 335i's are 30mm wide. Will this be feasible???? |

no and the offset is different so even if you could fit the 30 mm you wouldn't be able to run that rotor with our caliper wo a custom bracket

You could put a rotor on with a larger diameter if the bracket allowed for it, but you are limited to rotors with the same thickness, so 28mm.

I already have 335i rotors/calipers on, i know i need a modified bracket for the larger diameter rotor, which i can make my self.
I need confirmation on the width from someone that know for sure the caliper won't take 30mm wide rotors. |

if you're willing to file down your brake pads then you can fit the 30 mm rotor. so you have 335 rotors and calipers on your 130? I am guessing your 130 didn't come with the 135 brembos. not familiar with the 130 specs but I am guessing you made your own bracket to fit the 335 hardware?

The 130i came with 330x24 discs if I remember right. The 335i hardware actuallly just bolted on, it was all plug and play. My idea is now to use 135i/performance calipers with the 335i rotors but after reading any other thread about brakes I think to better not. |

For street use the 135 caliper is fine....but yes, to get a 30mm disc in there you'll have to file down the pads when you first put them in. Even with 28mm rotor new pads drag for the first few miles.

I already had bought one caliper and wasn't able to cancel the deal so I will have to proceed
I will skim 1mm off all pads and that will make my setup as if I was using 28mm rotors. I will also work on the bracket, which more likely it will be just a spacer to push out the caliper. I will share you all guys my development in case someone else wants to follow this approach. Regards |
