Wilwood BBK F and R for $2,100

Hello I was wondering if anyone had any first hand experience with Wilwood BBKs on the Z4Ms? I am considering a front and rear kit and would like some input from people that ran such a kit.

Hey there.
I have not seen anyone running these on our cars, but I did see them on the
BMW 2002 Clarion Built car that was sold for charity at Barrett Jackson in Palm Beach 2016.
If you search online you can check out the build thread.
It was really well done.
A lot of off road people use them.
Possibly more show than go. I can't say of sure
Good Luck

I had a set of Wilwood 6 piston calipers on the front of my prior 330ci. Braking was improved over stock, especially the fade. Build quality was okay. Don't have anything bad to say about them, however, comparing to the Stoptechs I have on the Z4M, I would say Stoptech is better all around choice.

Careful with the rear set there, the E46 M3 has shorter rear brake lines so you'll need to make sure you can source lines that fit the Z4M.

Not sure about Wilwood quality as well, I've heard a lot bad things about them? They're definitely the budget BBK, but maybe others can chime in about quality.
