Bored Bleedsblue: "budget" minded Brembo BBK

[BleedsBlue]

hm. so what are the upgrade options for style 5/style 19/common 17" guys?

the cheap 550i caliper won't fit either?

I can't speak to the 550i caliper, unfortunately.

I think the smaller 17" option, if you're looking for a multi-piston setup, is the old E31 Brembo option, with a 324mm rotor. M5 or 540i brakes with good consumables and fluid will get you pretty far, though.

I have 334mm under my Rondel 72's, but they're custom wilwood 6 piston.

Greg sorry if I missed it, but F30 calipers bolt up to E34 stuff?

Yessir they do, its a great upgrade with cost effective consumables.

Hrm maybe we should push the smaller track kit out soon Brent?

Yup nice setup.

I've been happy with my 355x32 6 piston AP setup, in fact we've revised the design to fit under 17" M Systems and will be releasing soon. Then I've got to get to work on our new rear options and 372x34 front!

Sorry to derail your thread Brent!

I'm sensing a new thread for 17" and smaller wheel guys!

Anything new here?

[Fatandre]

Same here. Any new stuff happening?

[BleedsBlue]

We're pushing forward on a few additional brake upgrades - I will start new threads today and post to IG.

If you are asking about specific items, just let me know in the meantime!

[5mall5nail5]

IG? That's millennial shit - post on forums!

[BleedsBlue]

We are purely millennial owned and operated, so there ya go

New forum posts did go up here, M5B, and on MyE28 though.

Feel free to use this thread for any and all reference and continued brake experimentation, too.

Bump with some more info

e60 550i front calipers are another bolt on affair with the use of e9x 335i rotors. 5mm spacer and 5mm longer carrier bolts. clears 17'' wheels. the common e34 wheels are undetermined


note: these may not be cool looking like brembos. but the 550i calipers are a dime a dozen. this could be the new budget v8 caliper upgrade. and the e34 540 calipers can now phase out

Happy Labor day

E60 550i are 348mm brakes. Does it fits under 17" wheels?

Those E9x rotors are also 348mm, so I think some 17s would work.
