91 850 i Left Front Caliper

[dburkart]

The left front caliper on my 91 850 froze. I am having a difficult time finding one; if any one has a source or one for sale please contact me as the car is down at the time being and it is great driving weather.

From RealOEM, https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=34_0367
Left caliper 34111160325 is listed as available remanufactured as CARDONE 191900.

Alternatively, you could rebuild your own with a seal and slide kits, part #s as per RealOEM

I haven’t looked recently but was able to get a reman through rock auto. Looks like they are out of stock but I believe you can also send to Cardone directly to be rebuilt.

I'd gotten mine from Bavauto years ago who were bought out by ECS. Looks like they still have centric available:

Thank you for the help I will call Cardone and see if they have one in stock or if I can send them mine for rebuild.

Appreciate the assistance and quick response.

Not sure what the going rate is to rebuild a caliper these days, but if it’s too much for you to stomach - try doing it yourself. As someone earlier suggested, get some new seals and slide kit. And maybe a few beers. Cheers!
