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.

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.

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.

3.0si shares same fronts as e46 330i/ci
3.0i shares same fronts as e46 non-m, non-330 |

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

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? |
