List of BBK's available for 1ers?
It seems that it's an extremely limited selection so far
At the moment i've found Brembo 6pot 355mm - $3600 Stoptech 6pot 355mm - $3200 AP racing 6Pot 355mm - $3100 they're pretty much all the ['big name' brands and realistically, they're all pretty much identically priced then there's the general taiwanese brands (ksport/xyz) at about $2k for the same setup then Nashin (supposedly better than ksport etc.) for $1800ish but you get no choice in rotor or pad... anything else anyone can add to this list I'd like a proper BBK under $3,000, partly for the thought of it more than actual price (even $2,999 haha), but i want some free choice in at least my pads if i find i want less dust/more brake force/higher temp/price etc. thanks |

If MSRP on the stoptech is $3200 you can most likely get it for under 3k then. But shipping to Australia would be pretty big.

Also the Stoptech come in 2 versions, there is a base spec and the Trophy spec.
Haven't looked into the Trophy too much but it weighs a lot less and costs a lot more. |

Barely lighter Mostly cosmetic (very pretty) Cheapest i've found for stoptech on google is about $3200 (2k GBP ish from the UK) I'll post links to ap racing soon, you can find it for 'e92 335i' more easiy (all bolts on the same) It's just brake pad and rotor time for me so may as well go big (considering how pricey OE replacement stuff is! Shipping from just about anywhere i think would be $2xx or so? |

No freakin way You can get a set of coilovers for a couple hundred$ an they wouldn't weigh literally half as much. And be physically smaller. The package for a set f brakes is pretty small at least? |

I was told front BBK comes in 2 boxes. I played around with a shipping calculator on shipito.com and it works out more expensive if you add the boxes together in volume/weight, whereas if you ship them separately it would be much cheaper. Have received cheaper quotes for shipping BBK elsewhere though, this is by far the most expensive.

15 inches cube? ok that's a pretty big cube lol
,... well aus post to america quotes $200 for 20kg by sea mail, so this is now sounding reasonable but still, that's $400 for both parcels (or less) private.. most big companies get 30-50% discounds with bulk freight, so i'd push for sub $300 for the front kit! |

So say i can find a kit for $3k, $300 in shipping and.. Yeah $3960 pretty easily.. The thought of this is saddening.. But do it once to it right. >_< And if you wanted it domestically, you'd bet on $6k at a minimum |

UK retail price is £2125 which probably includes our VAT at 20%, so you can likely take 20% of that price before adding shipping out to Aus + your import taxes etc.,etc. See here http://www.birdsauto.com/sites/www.b...8734870500.pdf

Don't go for the cheap BBK. If you can't afford one of the three you mentioned then you are better off upgrading your stock set up. I've run rotora and Brembo and the Brembo's are a night and day difference.
Get the rotora's / ksport if you are into poor pad selection and pulsating brakes. |

I don't know. Maybe the fact that they dumped the Rotora's for Performance Friction BBK's back in 2010 tells you something?

Rotoras seem to be about $2700 Performance friction at 3500+ (4k even maybe?)? Idk they're hard to find, will search more later Too high maint/complex for me, 1 pad per piston, 4 pot fronts (355mm) and apparently 371mm rear? I'm so confused as that would TRASH brake balance. Well they chose rotora over stoptech and brembo (and oem)... Performance friction is also PRICED above all others.. |

Also, their poor (none existent) customer service is legendary. You can do whatever you want, go cheap on BBK, it's your dime. But don't say you weren't warned. |
