Installing Massive 135 Brembo Brakes on my BMW e46!!! 

I actually thought about using f30 calipers but got a good deal

No way? No mods or custom brakets?

@@SavageBunny1 i belive you also need the e46 m3 csl discs with this mod, and also that little screw

But you need a more expensive rotor csl 345x28.

​@@sr20dett1000 Combi t5 disc is cheap but require a little machining

A bit. I’m not sure on exact total

Nevermind I answered my own question by clicking on the link!🤣

I bought used for $700

Yes it does

Just bolt up

@@EvanGoyuk many thanks

Why it won't be if it brakes better?

@imestia7911 the oem brakes are more than able to stop the car. Bigger brakes only ever become a benefit when you over heat the standard sized brakes. You will only ever overheat brakes in a hard track session when you're constantly hitting them hard before they've have a chance too cool from the last time. You will not overheat brakes on the road. Scientific fact- bigger brakes don't stop you quicker. Better tyres will.

If you’re going 150mph and you want to stop fast these will stop a lot lot better. As in if you’re street racing, also in general they will be less prone to warping as they won’t get as hot. And if done well they will stop better just because of the caliper change in tech. He went from a floating caliper to a fixed. It’s better in every way.

@@christopherramirez6086 wait cause English ain't my first language. Fixed caliper is better than floating calipers? And floating disc is better than fixed discs?

@christopherramirez6086 if you're doing 150mph on the street you need to be banged up. If you're doing 150mph racing and need to stop urgently, I think the penalty should be harsher.

They are definitely not 130mm, that's insanely small, probably smaller than the wheel bearing. 330 rotors are 325mm

Definitely not 130mm. That’s like a scooter brake rotor 🤣

130mm hahhahaha I needed that laugh

Hehehe

Yes

Yes but they are rusted

@@EvanGoyuk As long as they still work ok, its cool. I plan to upgrade my 325i calipers to your 330i ones. I'll send you an email.

Yes. However you need different caliper brackets than in the video. I believe seems legit garage also carry the brackets

depends on the adapter you'll be using the calippers are originally build to be used with 336mm Rotors - so 325 should be possible - but my be a little bit tight close to the hub I ran the fronts with 345mm Rotors form the E46 M3 competition (or CSL) and standard E46 M3 rear rotors (since the competition or the CSL have the same) I had a 328i (EU-Model) therefore i had no problem fitting the rears wiothout modification to the carrier, the Front needed a different bracket -what i had a Tuning shop maschine for me according my specs. also you need to shave off 1mm from the brake pads if you try to use the 345x28mm CSL rotors or 325x28mm ///M3 rotors since the calipper is originally built for a 336x26mm Rotor Edit: but seeing the video - the diameter should be ok with the adapter Evan used - for the width you need to do the shaving of the pads - voila if you want to run the 345x28mm Rotory you can get away using the original 135 NBrackets - although you would need to shim it what was little to shady for me - thats the reason why i had fitting brackets made for me

@@odie0815 Fantastic info, so I can assume you tried to run the 135i pads with m3 rotors, standard or csl as both are 28mm thick, and it didnt work at all? or was really tight?

@@thbigshot101 unfortunately - without shaving off 1mm per pad it will not fit I had a machine shop in my area that deals mainly in farming stuff mill off 1mm per pad - worked wonderfully I ran the 135i OEM pads for several years in combination with the CSL rotors Generally I was very very happy with that combination!! I only went back to the 330i brakes because the 17" Styling 44 I was running during winter time were too much of a tight fit that the lack of ventilation was killing the rotors. the OEM 325x28mm M3 rotors might be OK but would not recommend running the 345x28mm rotors with 17" wheels

Yes

Will they work on 17’s?

@@michaelbrown1786 seen in the bmw forums that 17s and 18s fit

Most tubers are like that. They get the initial group of likes and watches and then abandon folks who may have questions.

U correct dam

Buy used!!!

Who buys oem pads 🤦🤡

And there is always the brembo Gt kit for $6000 if $1650 (which is how much this cost with used calipers) is too expensive for you.

I'd only upgrade if I tracked the car, if you don't you won't notice any difference really. They sure do look extremely nice though - huge visual upgrade over stock!

Bolt right up in the rear
