    E32 Rear Brake Conversion - Parking Brake Question

    Picked up all the goods to convert to the "Big Brakes" from an E32. Never considered what the parking brake situation is on this move. Do the E24 shoes and what not work with the E32 rotors? I am going to be moving the car soon, and im pretty sure the only brakes I will have will be the parking brake. The old E24 rotors are history, so I need to buy new rotors anyway.

    For E32 brakes to fit, you need the E34 540i rear rotors. If you get the right rotors, yes everything works fine. I have these brakes on my e24.

    Thanks bud! Looking to get back on the project again soon. Having a functional parking brake is pretty vital! Already tossed all the original brake rotors!
