M5 M6 6 Pot brakes
Hello
not really got an m5 but need some help. i have an F32 and want to fit some bigger calipers and im tempted with the M5 M6 6 pot calipers. does anyone have any information on these and pictures so i can work out what will be needed to fit to my car or if its impossible? what size are the standard discs on an m5 m6? any pictures of the mounting points on the caliper to see if a carrier will be needed or if i need to fit the front hub assembly from an m5 m6? any help greatly appreciated lee

cos to be honest there isnt anything that is cheap. the AP's are 3k and Brembos are 4k.
i can buy m5 calipers for 1k refurbed, front discs and pads another £700. braided lines and dust shields another 150 ish? all i need are the carriers and im laughing that said PBBrakes seem to have 8 pots for £1200 plus import tax so maybe i should go that route but never really heard of PBBrakes from Taiwan but as the russian says in Armageddon... American components, Russian components... all made is Taiwan!!!

hmm now thats odd.
cos everything in the UK points to the m3/m4 caliper being 4 pot the same as these http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1291018

its all a pain... the cheapest option is something called PB Brakes. they are from Taiwan and do 8pot caliper kits for £1200 plus another £200 customs duty
maybe ill try these?

Keep in mind that bigger brake calipers need more clearance behind the wheel. My M calipers are 2-4mm away from my aftermarket wheel set up. This can be a costly road to go down in the end so measure twice order ounce..

Maybe take a little time and go visit AP since it's not far. They have a ton of carriers (and are a part of Brembo) but honestly there is another BMW Brembo Caliper that would be a very nice conversion project IMO. |
