- Today Brandon shows us how to install a Brembo big brake kit by JQ Werks for a BMW E92 M3. He sourced the best option for retrofit larger calipers, drilled & slotted rotors, stainless steel brake lines, and custom made adapters to fit them without changing the spindles or wheel hub. This entire BBK is affordable, easy to install and performs very well!
Don’t forget to bleed the brake fluid and bed the pads when you’re finished. Thanks for watching! Subscribe for more BMW mods coming soon (Angel eyes, supercharger, roll cage, bucket seats, etc).

To those who are skeptical about purchasing this kit, I have confirmed with the seller that the calipers are used 17Z (L&R) front and rear calipers sourced from Germany and rebuilt. The calipers are stamped with "17ZL" , "17ZR" and "Made in Italy". The rotors are custom built in Los Angeles, CA to fit E9x M3's and the pads are genuine Brembo pads.
As for the rotors bases, brake lines and brackets - they are from China. Brackets are made of steel and will be revised so that you will not have to burr your spindles like I had to on mine. After a 250 mile drive, the brake lines do not have any leaks.
This kit was also tested on the track with an E92 M3 and an Alfa Romeo 4C for 4 years with no issues according to the seller.
Good luck to those taking on the installation themselves, please feel free to reach out to me for any questions!
Good to know… I would say the added value is the bracket by itself along with the rotos. There is plenty of 17Z on ebay (used in old Porsches, WVs and Audis)… but the difficult stuff is in machining the brackets: a machinist will charge around USD 1000 to make them from scratch. The thing I will be concerned are the rotors. Do you know if the seller will give you the contact of thar shop? Will you have to purchase from him later? Another question I would ask is some technical stuff (I am more interested in performance than looks): what about the brake bias? Would the contact patch was calculated? Was the brake performance measured?
@@redzone5655 The rotors are made by the sellers friend who’s an engineer in LA. These are all good questions for people that want to use this setup for performance/track. I would contact the seller on Instagram. If you send me a pm I can send you his account name.
Also don't forget to bleed and bed properly after installation to avoid any failures.
Killin it on the quick uploads Sal. 🙌 Thanks for coming over and giving us a hand. It was one hell of a day!
Thanks for letting us come over! Looking forward to the next mod 😊
Damn! What a huge difference! Definitely a great upgrade that makes the driving experience SO much better. An experience that can be enjoyed for as long as you own the car too. Great job Brandon and all of you that jumped in to help! That looked like it took quite a few hours and was a tiring job, but well worth it imo. As always, great detailed tutorial! It's nice to know what kind of custom cutting and modding you need to do beforehand. Those are the kinds of surprises that you don't like to encounter. Price on that brake kit was great! 👍
Hey! You're right! The brakes feel much better and look so aggressive. BMW definitely should have had these on the M3 from the start instead of the weak single piston brakes. The job was time consuming due to Brandon being one of the first to test out this kit so some modification was needed, but thanks to this video the next person can hopefully have an easier time. And yes I agree, the price is perfect for a Brembo kit this good.
not sure how i came across this but glad i did...great car and them brakes look epic.
good to see your gang of helpers all mucking in as well.
gave you a sub and will look at some more of your stuff
I’m glad you stumbled on to our channel. I appreciate the comment! Motivated us to keep making more videos to help out the community 🙌
Over a year and 3500 miles later. The front and rear brakes are still working great!
Glad to hear the update. Looking forward to your E30 videos soon 🙌🏼
Hey guys! Here is the link to purchase this kit: cjgarage.square.site/product/e9x-m3-17z-bbk-front-and-rear-kit/2?cs=true&cst=custom
I am not affiliated with the seller, just want to help you guys out. Thanks for watching, and please subscribe for more budget BMW mods and repair videos. 🙌
@Kevin Cannen Thanks for the info. This is just for people that want to buy the kit. Personally I won’t be buying it due to lack of funds. (Damn student loans 😔)
@Kevin Cannen I feel you. I am sticking with OEM brakes too, but so far Brandon and Mel are loving the new brakes. 👍
@Kevin Cannen hi Kevin! Please check the pinned comment on this video for more information on this BBK. They are indeed Brembo 17z calipers that have been rebuilt. If you’re skeptical, the seller has posted a photo of the stamps on the caliper. Ours are stamped the same.
It’s definitely important to feel comfortable when making any purchase, especially something that is costly. If you have any further questions don’t hesitate to reach out. Thanks! 🤗
thank you for the video!
Anytime 👍
so sick
Thanks bro
Nice job! I would prefer to source the rotor with either oem or more name brand just for piece of mind but that's just my personal preference.
Yea same here. I’m assuming finding rotors and pads for replacement might be difficult
Anyone notice that the 17ZL calipers went on the right side and 17ZR calipers went on the left? Am I wrong?
So far working good, must be interchangeable 👍
@@Sals_Garage Turns out the original car that these were mounted on were mounted on the front of the rotor and not the rear like E92's. This explains it all :)
@@MrCarSounds 👍
Great video once again Sal 👍 nice BBK, there's also another option from Merc C63 AMG... Also Sal, you can bleed brakes using INPA where software does a proper bleeding using car's own pump 👍 great work Sal and team... Cheers 🥂
Thanks for the info! I don’t have inpa, need to research how to install it on my laptop. Lots of cool features it seems.
You’re right about the C63 brakes. I just changed the pads on a C63 yesterday and the brake calipers are the same as these Brembos 😆. I’ll do more research about how to mount the calipers and try it on my M3, thanks again for the useful information
@@Sals_Garage here's the video I just told you about... ua-cam.com/video/9LVmvYNJ1Bs/v-deo.html
A cheap 100.00 fox well 510 scanner for bmw is a must have same with a cheap 808 autel does all that and in English, inpa can be discouraging unless u can read and understand German language
should of done a before and after 60-0 stopping distance comparison.
Would be nice but it’s not my car so I don’t have control over that lol unfortunately
👍🏻
Thanks for the constant support Sauce 🙏
Hey I had this kit installed but lost my ability to use the parking brake lol…any tips
Might need to adjust the parking brake teeth.
Looks good but how do you adjust the handbrake shoes on the rear axel? The rotors dont have an access hole?
You have to remove one of the stud conversions. Just screw it out with a hex bolt. If you have lug bolts you don’t have to worry.
@@Sals_Garage makes sense, thank you!
Nice kit! Great video, thanks. Anyone know if the BBK will fit with 18” or do you need 19”?
We are running 18s on our car currently!
Yes it fits like a glove for 18s. No spacers needed.
Dope video ! How long did it take to install ?
Thanks! It was our first time so it took around 8 hours with filming and frequent breaks included. With this video I believe you can do it in 3-4 hours. Good luck 👍
Curious to know how they perform at the track
The owner does not track their car, just mainly used for car shows and meets. So far he loves the new brakes.
I’m running similar 18” TE37 non-SLs. What size rotors did you go with? Front & Rear? Want to make sure everything clears just right.
Not sure what size the rotors are but they are huge. Try asking @e30bunac on instagram.
Is that garden Grove?
San Mateo
Great content. I see you are very knowledgeable and brave to do the change in the street 😂. I would ask what about the custom rotors? Will the owner have problems sourcing them down the roard? I see the kit is very affordable, Would you say it is looks or performance the final result? There is too much positive and negative criticism in the web. I would say a before and after breaking from 70 to 0 could show a real improvement (same pads, tyres and rotors). The E92 M3 is already a classic (I mean classic as old, because it cannot keep with the kids anymore) the owner will find that the room for improvement is very short… and to make it supercharged… well you need first to change the rod bearings and you will be depreciating the car: of course is your money. But, given that is a classic… wouldnt it make more sense preserving it stock as it was intended to be? No matter what you do it is an old car… accepting it is part of life. Looking forward to see more content!
I think it must be more of a younger crowd thing. They love to modify their cars to make them more individualized. That is a good question about replacement rotors! I would ask the seller and please let me know what he says. Thanks so much for the comment and have a great day!
@@Sals_Garage I got your point. Individualization fosters a market for customization. It is a matter of choice being it looks or performance oriented, you will always need experts to advice on the route to take.
@@redzone5655 agreed. And to answer your question on how it felt in the passenger seat, it’s noticeably better at stopping vs the stock brakes. To be expected since the brembos have 6 piston front and 4 piston rear calipers 👍
Nice families
Thanks! Agreed
Do you notice much of a difference with braking?
Yes, a noticeable difference in brake performance and durability. They take a bit more to fade now.
Any way I could buy the brackets themselves?
Check with the seller. He is on IG.
Will these fit a e92 335i?
No, that is a different brake package
100% aliexpress kit. However I wouldn’t care. They do the job
The rotors are Chinese yes, but they look awesome.
Does anyone know the size of the rotors?
380 mm front 370 rear I believe
Hi Sal qhere can I get these bremo brakes for my 2017audis3?
Contact Jeremy on IG, in my description.
@@Sals_Garage thanks!
Great video but not sure your average Joe can do something this complex
Thanks. You’re right, you’ll need a good tool collection and some modifications is needed to get this set up properly.

Hi Sal. Do you have a link where we can place a order? Thank you.
Hey! It’s custom order only at the moment since it’s a new product. Contact Jeremy on IG. His handle is in the video somewhere. Good luck 👍

@Kevin Cannen only the rotor base and bracket are from China because Chinese don't produce Porsche brembo that you can source for $250. You don't want to pay $700+ for those metal pieces
Wow that’s so affordable compared to 7gs. I want this….
Me too, but still broke from Ellie’s student loans 😆
@@Sals_Garage lol but when she becomes a nurse thats when she’ll get you back.
Can't wait! Two more years until she is done, which unfortunately means keeping the M3 for a long time. We get bored quick lol

@@Sals_Garage I sent, could you check your inbox?
Does anyone know how to find the seller or source the rotors as of July 2023? Can’t find their store page or Instagram and I have the fronts installed and rear calipers in a bag but no rotors that were inherited with this car 🫠
Try contacting Jeremy the original CEO of those brakes on IG: instagram.com/cj1111_e92?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
anybody know what happened to the website?

Fuck the dust shield man take ‘em all off makes the installation way easier
Agreed 👍
I’m doing mine right now and this video helped me a lot so thanks guys
@@M5FOREVER glad it helped! Have fun!
Should raise the car a bit. It will handle better. I I stalled AP racing on my E92 M3.
Thanks for the tip
@@Sals_Garage Same set up as yours - 6pot front with 380MM floating disc and 4 pot rear 355MM. But I think Brembo is better for street use as AP racing don't have dust shield on the piston at the caliper.
@@dawnnadir nice!
Will this kit fit for a m3 e93?
Yes. It works for e90, e92, and e93 M3s 👍
@@Sals_Garage I dont have insta. Is that the only way to reach this guy?
@@jmart1393 hello, please send me a private message with your contact and I will get back to you

It's definitely not needed for performance, people run pagid and endless pads on the stock floating calipers with plenty of performance.
Thanks for sharing 👍
rotors are backwards lol
That’s the orientation for M cars. 👍
@@Sals_Garage lol says who? better check your resource…trust me bud it’s 100% backwards… im just trying to help
@@onih5745 check your resource too bud, M cars have the rotors facing to the rear of the car 👍
Of course Chinese knockoff garbage is gonna be "affordable." 😂😂😂
Nice one
Fake Brembo
Refurbished 👍
Will these fit e92 335i?
Unfortunately it won’t. Different spindles and rotor sizes. Ask the seller if he sells any BBKs for the 335i.
