Brake disc and Caliper
New to Zpost
I recently purchase a E86 3.0si Coupe, the car did not come with original breaks, it came with Brembo 6 pot front, and 4 pot rear. Getting near to MOT test, the mechanic said it's essential to have original brake caliper, and disc. Are there any BMW performance brake set that is as good as Brembo (For E85), but legal for a MOT test. Btw I am located in Hong Kong, and MOT tests are a pain here. Cheers |

How often do you have MOT inspections?
I'm going to guess that the Brembos you have are extremely good and frightfully expensive. Maybe you can put stock on for MOT and then put the Brembos back on when you get home.

If the brakes operate properly and have an ebrake, why would you need to change them?

MOTs work in mysterious bureaucratic ways.
A friend of mine said he brought his 335i into a CA smog check and they wouldn't test it because he had an aftermarket stereo. It's their general policy because so many new cars will throw a shadow code if it can't find the OEM stereo, and by law any code means you automatically fail smog.
