Do you think the 400mm breaks from M5 (F10) would fit? I guess the 19" wheels would be too small for them.
400mm won't fit under 19's you'll need 20s. If you are going to do that you might as well pick up these front in rear if you going to fit 20s (though i have yet to see 20s that look good on Z4)

405mm on 3 series.

Igorossa is running f10 brakes with custom brackets with 19's, but I would suspect the wheel selection is very limited to M5 specs.

Nuebbes has more info about experience and his own brackets #132

BUT PB bbk or Ceika (for M5 swap) are probably cheaper, easier options.

Thank you, guys. I've bought the blue M performance calipers (370/380mm) and looking for 380 mm rotors. Will I need also another breaking cylinder?

In order to keep the rear e-break I'm going to stay with the OEM Z4 rear breaks. However, I'm a bit worried about breaking in bends. The front will be much stronger so the ratio between front and rear may not be the best one..

My general experience is that BMW's drive like crap in a +2 scenario, which would keep me away from thinking about 20's ...

Hi guys, I have the 370/380 callipers and wanted to order 380mm rotors. However, somebody told me that 380mm are designed for M4 and will not fit the e89/e92 because of measure of the hole in the middle. e89/e92 allegedly fits only the 370mm M Perf rotors.

Has anybody researched / measured this? The local dealer doesn't know..

Thank you!

Hi,

I know this thread is old, but may still be useful to someone (including me).

I guess the 5mm spacers weren't hubcentric? Did you have an issues with vibrations when driving at speed? I'm about to purchase 3mm to be safe, but wondering if I could go to 5mm without running into any issues.

Does anyone else have any experience of using 5mm spacers?

Yes 5mm spacers are hubcentric on our cars. I'm running these now with Ohlins. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Digging the setup!! The wheels and brakes flow very nicely with the lines of the car!
