    E31 Brake Improvement

    Folks,

    What are the options for improving the braking power on the 850? Really, it's two questions. What if I replace the entire brake assembly (calipers, discs, pads) and what if I want to keep my calipers?

    If I want to keep my old calipers, what are the best discs and pads I can use?

    Thanks,

    Zeke

    You can source euro csi calipers and rotors.

    SS brake lines also makes a Big difference and needs less brake pressure when applying the brakes.
