Nice! Any plans on offering an M version?

[jair_onsa]

thats a good price, please tell me you guys got some for the M!!!!

[Rated M Roadster]

I'd be in for an M version.

[ECSTuning]

Nothing for the M..... The brakes on the M are already pretty righteous, so developing a kit which out preforms them without destroying the balance of the breaking system takes a good bit more time and effort.

i was looking at these before but i'm not sure yet... what about the rears?

no rear kit available but if they did, then i'd consider it since bias would be maintained. i think shifting more bias to the front would cause more understeer.

Yea, I agree.

I don't think we want anymore weight shifting to the front of the car.

If you put in the time and effort, you'd sell a couple kits

They even have a local tester in the area that is more than willing to have a BBK set-up on their car

[acvr4]

That is a sweet looking BB Kit -- hummmm

[Jony722si]

even e46 330ci, z4 3.0i M54/N52, z4 3.0si N52 has sme front end set up and using same king pin but ECS claim that this kit wont fit 3.0si. which is why I havnt put my money on it... any idea they will fit 3.0si?

At the current time we do not have plans of making a rear BMW Performance BBK.

Mathematically speaking, brake bias will not be significantly changed. Yes it will be slightly push to the front but a more aggressive pad in the rear of the pad can easily compensate for this.

Our parts applicator puts the 3.0si in a slightly different location than the other Z4s when adding parts (if that makes any since) long story short I just smacked my parts guy for not clicking the box that links the kit with the 3.0si. It was over looked this it should also fit the 3.0si as like you said the king pins and other front end components are shared.



Guys make sure you're wheels will clear the BBK, some people have noted needing 5mm spacers to clear the calipers. HERE is a template we have that you can print, cut out, and use on your wheels to see if the rotors and calipers will clear the spokes and barrels.

[3002 tii]

3.0si shares same fronts as e46 330i/ci

3.0i shares same fronts as e46 non-m, non-330

I see that that most 17" wheel will clear - any idea if the 18" factory ones will ?

I haven't had any of my guys running 18s report any issues. To be safe, I suggest print out the pdf found HERE to scale. It is a fitment template that'll give you an idea of how the bbk will fit inside your wheels.

Will these work on a 2007 Z4 3.0si?

The kit is designed to work on the Z4 2.5i, 3.0i, and 3.0Si.

If 17's fit, then 18's with same offset and width would definitely fit. The question is width and offset though...

To give you an idea of wheel fitment, on a 330ci the stock Style 68s (7.5X17 ET:41) require a 3mm spacer for proper clearance.

Spoke design has a lot to do with wheel fitment as well, not all wheels of XX offset are designed equally. That's why I suggest printing out the pdf found HERE to scale, and using it to double check your clearances.

Holy cow that is a good price.

Another person in for an M kit.

Could you make an M kit that uses those calipers with the stock rotors? Just calipers, modified carriers, pads, and hardware? And maybe a well matched rear pad to keep the bias in check?
