Also the discs are made all the same so the direction of the grooves/holes go oposite way round on each side of the car . Fitted a set on 135i and checked with parts department that only 1 part number listed for discs , dont think BMW thort about that properly .
As Bounce said BMW dont sell mount brackets for E46 .

So if no better cooling, it will just be a nice to see mod and no bloody use whatsoever to improve braking

Has anybody on the forum actually done the mod? And can give an opinion based on his experience with them?
I'm concerned about the brake bias difference if any when changing to these calipers? Having brackets made up is not a problem, I know a guy who could make them up for me.... Just don't want to do the mod and then the brakes are worst than the standard stuff ? |

Not sure I get that logic SHim - AP kit doesn't come with any extra cooling?

They look good, but would rather know the brakes would not fad on track days, and AP give you that confidence, they are expensive but you get what you pay for..
