F10 M5 Brake retrofit on a E60 M5

V10S85 · 04-12-2017, 01:07 PM

Guys I really want to accomplish this and make this project happen. I want to purchase the F10 M5 standard blue Brembo OEM brakes and install them on my stock 19' OEM style 166 wheels with the offset: 19x9.5 (front) and 19x9.5 (back). The thing is I haven't seen anyone with the F10 M5 brakes on an E60 M5. What do I need to do to have this project completed?

Hmmm, interesting but might be too expensive

The things you will need to work out are piston sizes, how the brake bias works and just make sure that your pedal travel won't be too long and the F?R balance isnt thrown out. Assuming this is okay and doesn't cause issue. Then it's looking at how the mountings might work for the hub mount, particularly offset and caliper on disc position etc. the you need to look at wheel clearance.

Before long you'll probably see why an AP kit makes sense. But I COULD be wrong and it's an easy neat fit !

Why don't you buy the Brembo Big Brake Kit instead of modifying the F10 OEM brake
