Really good informative video. I’d like to upgrade a 323ci & a 330ci but both would need at least 18 maybe even 19 inch wheels, I’m sure my discs are like 300mm 😢
nice, it would be usefull, a measurement of the offset of the caliper, from the carrier to external pistons, to see the fitment of the wheels. the caliper seems to be really big, i had 18" type csl wheels in non M had a lot clearance stock, but i think the caliper will hit.
Hello man. I have a question the 4 pistons caliper just be bolt on to a bmw e46 325i With the wachers 1,5mm The 4 pistons caliper like the one for 380mm disc's to or are they different...? And ofcourse the 2 piston caliper with 370mm or 345mm disc on the rear ..?
Congratulations on the very well explained video, however I have doubts regarding the use of the Master Cylinder, do you use the original or did you change it, for E36 which one would be correct so as not to make the brake rubbery. 🤜⚔️🤛🏁🏁🏴☠️🇧🇷🇧🇷🎱🔥👻
Hi, thank you for a great video. I've read on some forums, that you need to shave 1 milllimeter of each brakepad, when using T5 brakedisc, because they are 32mm think compared to the OEM BMW disc, which are 30 mm thick. What are your experince ?
I've been looking for a brake upgrade for my '03 330i ZHP. My biggest concern is heat. The temperatures where I live reach 46C to 49C in the summer. I have a bolt-on Hawks kit on the car now but during the summer, my brakes can get fatigued very quickly still. I feel like rotors that can dissipate that heat as quickly as possible would be the way to go for me but I'm not sure how to tell which ones would do the best job at that.
@@vysgarage only just seen this. Thank you 🙏 So if I buy all the stuff from the video it’ll fit! I’ve just bought new brembo discs all round for the 323 but idk what to do about calipers
Useful info, thanks. What's the pedal travel like after and what MC are you using, OEM if so which model? Also, a bit confused about the T5 disc spec. The E36 uses a CB of 72.5 and the T5 disc spec is CB of 76mm, so the comment about enlarging the T5 CB is confusing without sharing the part number or specs of the exact 340mm disc you are using in your application.
Where did you get those hub spacers? Also it might sound odd but i have 2x Left side calipers like these (from an F30 335i) could i use 2 left side calipers? Other than the bleeder screw pointing on the wrong side, and brake line angle, if the line is long enought i shouldnt have any issues right? All 4 pistons size are the same? (Not staggered like some 6 pots brakes)
What about master brake cylinder for e46 330i? Should it be replaced for cylinder's from e46 m3? I calculated what single stock e46 piston 57mm has the same area as 4 brembo pistons 40mm. So it would be ok even with stock e46 brake cylinder?
Hello, did u rebuild your back shield plate? I mean, when u set the disk, does it touch this plate or it has enough space between them. Do u need to bend, cut , or remove this shield plate? Thanks.
What is the lenght required for a brake lines? I checked the catalog and f30 brake lines have length 615mm vs 405mm of stock e46 lines. Should I use f30 stock lines? Ending is the same in both cases - M10x1. Thanks
Hello, I’m in the USA. I already purchased 340 calipers and I test fitted the caliper on my ‘96 328i. Bolts right up, I’m still going to grab some washers from work. My question is; where can I purchase the custom brake lines or what are the specifications so I can find someone here in the US to make the brake lines for me? Second question, since the US did not get VW T5’s, what’s the link where I can get the same T5 rotors?

So good video, but the discs you have from T5 are from Mtec and there crap pure crap, there no other company’s making good custom discs 🤷🏼♂️ I wish EBC could make custom discs I know people using T5 discs and it’s fine for them but when you track with proper aggressive pads these discs cook really fast Apart from that the video is pint point correct how to get them on e46 a lot of people who done it will agree, and I I agree with you about using the CSL discs
@Armanis Hi, I've been looking into those swap and would you happen to have any more info I can read up on? I am primarily concerned about the track as this would be a budget BBK for my 330 and I would love to know more info, like which rotors have good metal. What is your experience with this swap? Thanks
@@vysgarageAny reason to run 340x32mm instead of 340x30mm? Seems like the factory discs for these calipers are the 340x30? I'm just not quite understanding why we would wanna run a thicker disc/rotor instead of using what the caliper was meant to run. I'm assuming the 2MM schisms are meant to space out the rotor from the hub so it can sit centered between the pads
@@FailofWar127 2mm shims are used to space out the hub on e46 m3 only, Caliper washers are there to space out Caliper on non-m models, not the rotor. The reason to use those rotors is that they are the only ones that work on e36/e46. You need to take into account hat/bell depth, rotor diameter, width, pad swept height etc. If you’d like to suggest 340x30 rotors that would fit, I will gladly try them 👍🏻
Awesome video my friend I’m learning a lot watching your content

Love the video. Thanks for sharing. What about the rear rotors with f series rear caliper
You make quite good videos, ive got the same car with a n47 engine
Can you share a code for the rotors?
Would this 340mm option work for the rear if you ran 380mm f80 brakes on the front per your video 6 month ago?
I have an 04 BMW ZHP and I was wondering if this brake upgrade would fit the stock Style 135 wheels?
Hello man.
I have a question the 4 pistons caliper just be bolt on to a bmw e46 325i

I used 5mm spacer between knuckle mounting point and caliper on E46 m3 . I run CSL disc is T5 disc same size height wise or new spacer is needed.? :)

Pads and fluid are most important, if you’re having issues with hawks, try pagid rs29
What is the final brake bias with 135i rear? If you knwo alkready.
Commented before I watched to the end. My 330 is an 05 plate so I can upgrade & get away with keeping 17inch wheels. I need to know more
Some 17”’wheels clear them. 👍🏻
Pm me if you need more info

Same question
Same question, CB on t5 rotors is bigger than CB on E46...
@lordluker disc cb and wheel cb are different things 👍🏻

No you can’t. Routing of Brake lines is critical, And bleed valves have to be at the top.

Hello, did u rebuild your back shield plate? I mean, when u set the disk, does it touch this plate or it has enough space between them. Do u need to bend, cut , or remove this shield plate? Thanks.
Sometimes you need to bend it or even trim it.

+1 - any more info on the brake lines would be very helpful. Awesome videos, thanks
No, I use e46 lines +50mm with e90 unions.
Has by chance anyone tested if these will fit an e36 with Styling 68 wheels in 7.5Jx17" Et41 with 5mm Spacers?
Very unlikely.

Pm me on facebook

Use e46 M3 csl rotors
How about the 380mm f series brakes and calipers on non M e46 330ci? Will be compatible?
You’d have to machine the rotors down to 370mm but it’s possible
Hi could you send me the part numbers for the hell brake lines please also the rear ones
Hi, they are are made to my specifications
Yeah amd what about brake servo and brake cylinder?
