I think I have a good pair, pulled them off a car earlier this year. I'll post some pics if I can find them. Did you want some fresh rotors too? Shipping might be a little pricey, I'll see what I can do.

Cheapest shipping is a USPS regional rate box, kinda like a flat rate box except lower prices for shorter shipments. Need to get the box from the USPS and ship from home, not PO office as that is part of the reason it is less.

Never mind, they're a full set of rear calipers. Sorry for the confusion.

Those Regional Rate boxes sure are a bargain, no doubt about it!

Just curious- did you get rebuilt ones? If so, from where and how much?

I have a pair on Ebay and want to see if my price is out of line.

**Mcgurn1234** · 11-22-2018, 09:33 AM

Got a set of used ones for a awesome price I could not find only one right side rebuilt. Market on the rebuilt ones was anywhere from 125-175 with core added in but it seemed that there was only one right one out there

I looked, did not see them.

Some Porsche shop, classic9? has those weird caliper half square cut o-rings. So rebuilding these is possible.

Remember guys, they are the same as the E24/8 M-car units...just a different bolt pattern. So tons of pad choices and I swear I read recently about a rebuild kit with stainless pistons.

When I was refreshing my brakes earlier this summer I searched for days for off the shelf rebuilt calipers and found nothing. Thanks to someones advice from this forum I ordered this rebuild kit: https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-7-SERIE...fPO0:rk:2:pf:0

I rebuilt the front calipers without splitting the casing, although they provide the seals if you wish to do so. It was very straightforward, only difficult part was getting a couple of the old pistons out of the bores since they were so frozen up. Once the old pistons and seals were removed it was simple to scrub them down and pop all the new parts in place. They have been functioning perfectly for around a thousand miles or so now. I would definitely do this again.

Thanks! I was going to post a few photos but I can't figure out how at the moment. I'll try again when I have some time this evening.

Had some time this evening to upload a few photos from the front caliper rebuilding process. It really is straightforward. Once they were rebuilt and cleaned up I painted both the front and rear with a G2 caliper paint kit, which worked very well. The rears were easy, since I just bought a set of nice new (reman) 750i calipers and vented rotors.
