Nice!! You have a picture from farther away?
What size and offset are you going to run in the rear?

My friend is running the sm-10 on his f22 with f80 brakes, the fl-5 has the same clearance as sm-10, the ec-7 has been confirmed to fit as well. And most forged 18 inch wheels should fit. |

If you’re up to the task of shaving down the caliper and adding a spacer, it will clear. You also need to make sure you run pads without the silver vibration dampeners.

I'm about to buy a second set of wheels that will clear according to communication with support.

Quick question as I’m currently doing the same. Have you had any issues retaining the cut down dust / mud guards?
I live in the UK, car will be more of a weekend car and I’m curious as to whether the existing cut down 338mm shields are enough to not cause any issues with the brakes? May sound a stupid question but I’m just curious! Thanks! |

So the standard heat shields on the front and rear, need cutting down to fit the new F8X brake setup (as shown in the original images of this thread). Usually the heat shield covers the entire rear face of the disc, to protect it against mud and grime getting on the disc, along with protecting the arms etc from heat and brake dust. I was wondering if anyone that had done this conversion had ran into any issues retaining the existing 135i heat shields. As in, does dirt / grime get onto the disc and effect braking or anything like that! |

Ohhhh. You could retain most of the heat shield minus the trimming needed to get the calipers fit. I just cut my fronts to hopefully increase cooling, and the parts I left in place were to protect the bushings close To the disc. I’ve had no issues with it this way. Hopefully that helps!

I didn't have to cut anything when I added my F80 brakes. Maybe because I only went with the 340mm rotor? Maybe I bent something for clearance but I have no recall of having to do so...

Front or rear? Not sure if the larger rotor helps or not. Does the 128 come with different dust shields?

For anyone that’s done this what did you do for pad wear sensors? F80, E82, or delete and code them out? Im trying to get everything ordered and sorted before my new wheels show up.
Edit: Does anyone happen to know if the style 313s off a 135is fit over the F80 brakes? Last edited by DWN-N-OUT; 07-01-2023 at 05:23 PM.. |

I used the factory 135i sensors.
No clue on the 313s, sorry. Please post back if you test fit them.

How is your brake master cylinder holding up? I’m noticing inconsistent brake pedal feel on mine at the track. I think I need to replace it since it’s 15 years old and would resolve this. Would the stock 135i be fine? |

Mine is good so far. I have about 62k miles on my car.
I am not sure if an m3 or a 135i MC would be better. If I was replacing mine I initially would go with an M3 MC but after driving my car I am not so sure.
