BMW Performance Brake kit (6 pot brembo monoblock)

[NZ_M3]

Saw this on Mtorque ... thought some of you guys might be interested (I am sure some of you have already read the post on there, but I thought it'd be handy to post it up here given that somebody once asked whether it was a possible - seems it is now).

Uses the BMW Performance 6 pot monoblock Brembos and CSL/ZCP disc and custom mounting brackets.

And according to the owner of the vehicle pictured below - no spacers required with the OEM 19s.




You can purchase the conversion kit from these guys below:

From the overwhelming amount of interest for the E46 M3 and M3 CSL, we have now also finished the development work and can now offer you the BMW® Performance Front Big Brake Kit with the yellow Brembo Callipers for £960 all in.

The E46 M3 Kit includes:

x2 BMW® Performance Yellow 6 pot Brembo Callipers with Brembo Pads.
x2 BMW® M3 CSL 345mm x 28mm Floating Discs.
x2 Goodridge Braided Hoses (Rear's can also be supplied at a slight extra cost).
x2 Custom made Aluminium Brake Calliper Mounting Brackets.

We will have these kits ready to ship by Monday 2nd February, once we have fulfilled our current pre-orders that we took at the AutoSport show at the specially discounted price.

E46 M3 CSL owners can also benefit from this kit, the same as above, but minus the M3 CSL brake discs for just £760 all in.

The E46 330i/330d kit will be made available later this month...

To place an order, please contact us on 01925 850796.

Seems like good value for money

cheap upgrade but paltry looking discs

I think if i didn't have the AP i'd probably go for them, as i like the use of semi-official parts.

I think that CSL disks are better than the AP disks - they last really well and are floating which the AP ones aren't. And they are really cheap too. Like englebert I'd be tempted if I didn't have APs. Having said that I believe simpsons have an AP kit that uses standard CSL disks too - be tempted with that too.

Love the yellow calipers and seems like a cheaper upgrade.

Boys , V soon , just waiting for the nod , Thorney will have Yellow Alcons available for the CSL / M3

Will update when I have some more detail

I'm sure i'd be cheaper to get your APs painted yellow than it would to move to yellow Alcons Daz

[DazBlackCSL]

LOL !

Yes your dead right ! But will prob sell the AP's anyhow , and then sort ?

Unsure , just really wanted yellow , I know , I know it makes NO dif to the stopping power !!

But from a purely cosmetic front , big yellow calipers on black , and the Alcon's are larger , and potentially better than AP's , interested to hear if anyone has them , or has driven something with ALCON's on tho ??

Not sure Alcons will be a comparable cost mod though... so not really like for like. I've a couple of 911's with Alcons. Good kit for sure but I'm more than happy with my AP's and really think they are the benchmark to which everyone else compares.

Given you've already got AP's I don't get why you owuld consider the expense of changing when you could spend the money on other bits instead?
