I’m not as concerned with track width since I’ll be sticking with oem wheel for the time being.

Yes. Just like I said a couple posts up the Performance Brakes were an option across the E82 and E90 platform (sans 335) so there are OEM parts available to bolt up 135 brakes.

As I understand it, the performance brake kit for 128i included 135i front calipers and 328i rear calipers, specifically due to the parking brake issue. But then again, I read it on the internet so it must be true ;-)

I think the 135i calipers and rotors will bolt right up, but the ebrake shoe doesn’t reach, right?

Hey Andrey,
Your inbox is full and I need to ask you a question!

Thanks,

Will these parts work for my e82 setup? I can't get help from any online part websites. They just don't know.

Wow this great thread!

Apologies if I sound clueless, as I'm trying to learn more and more about fitment before I turn up the boost and upgrade my setup eventually - but if this mod were completed, we'd be able to run an ET58 wheel, that would effectively be the same as an ET48 wheel stock? Since 9.5" is pretty standard for after market, would we be able to bump up to a 10" width or a bit wider to fit some wider tires? Gotta control the horses in the back.

MN, you are kinda backwards on your offset number example, but you do have the general principal correct. This will allow you to move your wheel in away from the fenders if that's what you need.

You would not need this mod with an et58 wheel. This mod makes an et45 wheel more like an et55 wheel. The issue is barely any aftermarket wheels come in offsets higher than 45.

Yo. I've read through this multiple times and I just can't wrap my head around the flip flopping from one vehicle rotor to the next. I'm looking to buy the kit off ecs linked below.

However, i would like to get different brake rotors, I was leaning towards EBC rotors. Could someone that has a little more knowledge of this please get back to me with what rotor from ebc would fit my e82 135i with these shorter hubs? Shoot me a pm or reply here. Looking for slotted non drilled.

The ECS kit makes use of e91 rear rotor from the performance kit.
These are usually rare and more pricey.

Also I do not think EBC made slotted or blank rotors in the e90 or 130i spec for the caliper to keep the 322x24

@Suprgnat just above you made use of a Zimmerman blank for the 130i that I listed a part number of here some where.

You can always just use the caliper and rear rotor from a E9x 335 or 328. The calipers are dirt cheap.
