Thanks for sharing. Sorry if you already know, but before loosening the brake hoses, you can press the brake pedal to the floor and hold it there using a stick between it and the seat, or whatever you have, I use a long quick grip clamp with one end reversed and then pushed against the steering wheel) this then prevents brake fluid from draining out from the master cylinder, in some cases I've even seen very little to no brake fluid at all, dripping from the hard lines. You could either remove and hang the original calipers first, then press the pedal down, or just crack a bleed nipple to allow removal of the original calipers Obviously you still have to bleed the replacement calipers, but with a bit less work and fluid involved. HTH
Hello I have this brake system in my vehicle. fronts 370 mm rears 340 mm I think it's the same as in your video I'm having trouble finding pads If there is a specific part code, can you write it? Thank you
Hi Guys - This is just what I needed as I have a 2017 F31. I'm getting worried about what I need though. Calipers seems straightforward enough, but what car model and size of discs did you use? I understand some have 160mm handbrake dia and some 185mm. It seems hard to find out which is which! Can you help? Thank you.

How much about this, I got an F34 328i, and I live in Auckland.

check your car on realoem, it will say if you have the 185 or 160, although even the base f31 uses 185mm
No coding needed?
And dot 4 or ??
It's required to be coded-in as the DSC/ABS pump adjusts the piston pressure and fluid provided also
