How to get rid of OEM brake system after BBK?

RADRACR · 10-02-2015, 12:30 PM

1) Any reason to keep them? In an ideal world I would keep them, but I'm not planning to sell the vehicle and space is limited.

2) Does any company buy these? Is there a market for used rotors with 40K miles on them? Shipping cost kinda kills any deal so I don't know what to do with all this.

Give them away for free.
Make someone happy that can't afford a bbk

RADRACR · 10-02-2015, 12:39 PM

Do they fit non-M?

GuidoK · 10-02-2015, 12:42 PM

not out of the box probably, but there are a lot of ingenious people out there.

Didn't Nicky just sell his M brake setup for $1500? Maybe a dumb question, but what's wrong with just throwing it out in the trash can?

RADRACR · 10-02-2015, 01:06 PM

It'd be nice to make a buck on it, obviously. The calipers are all in perfect working order.

Beedub · 10-02-2015, 02:25 PM

you'd be mad these have a real value or they do here in the uk at least...

i sold mine for around 1600 bucks in total.... but they were around 5k miles old.

There has to be someone who would use the setup on a non M. 40k old rotors may not be very useful but the calipers would be.

Not sure how they would be adaptable to non M but if someone has links to articles please post

Non CSL M3 guys want these. They have value. I sold mine for a bit less than Nicky to a buddy of mine (local, no shipping hassle). Advertise on the E46 M3 sites.

Not quite $1500, but definitely worth the sale!! Just keep in mind that shipping will be between $150-200, I think everything combined was like 140lbs!

Definitely don't throw them away, especially if the rotors are in good shape. E46 M3 guys want them.

I'd keep them... after running a BBK for few years I ended up going back to stock. Glad I still had them laying around! You never know...
