OEM BMW Performance - Finally done!

[RUS_ZHP]

Shout out to Charlie for hooking me up with these amazing Rear BBKs. I finally have a complete set.

I cant wait to share with you all the installed pics. I gotta look for rear rotors first though.

That looks nice! Are those brake lines longer than stock and required for installed? Or I am mistaken with front lines needed to be longer?
I have set of rear calipers but debating about installing them.

Daniel,

The rear 135i Performance calipers will look perfect behind your wheels. You have done a lot of work to your car and it shows! Can't wait to see pics after everything is done!


For the rear rotors be sure to reach out to Jacob (badclown) and see what rotors he used to get his mounted.

Charlie is the man! Bummer that you had no chance to install them on Imola sedan. They would be rad!

He needs stock fitment E46 M3 rear rotors. Brand/style/etc. doesn’t matter.

How come you are not advocating against those calipers, like Botond -))))

Send Badclown (Jacob) a PM. Ask him what he used for his Performance rear caliper retrofit. He has this on his ZHP as well

I used I think Zimmerman cross drilled and slotted rears. I honestly hate my BMWP front rotors but they came with the ECS BBK when I bought it new.

Why do you hate them?

Every time I wash my car (using meguiars soap) there is always a yellowish/brownish film left on the rotors after the wash that eventually comes off with some braking. The film build up is much more noticeable on the fronts than the rears. It’s a total pain in the ass to deal with I have to go drive the car after drying it and do some braking and then come home and wipe my wheels down because of the residue being blown off the rotors and settling on the wheels.

This exact same thing happens on my OEM Hella Pagid rotors as well. I also use Meguiars soap.

The shittiest thing that happened (and how I found out about this issue to begin with) was the first or second time I washed the car after the big brake install. I didn’t go drive the car after and simply cleaned it and parked it. Didn’t drive the car for 3-4 days, came out, started it, went to move forward and it wouldn’t budge. Had to give it some gas before the pads broke free of the rotors. The pads (ebc red box) stuck to the rotor from the water/soap residue and ended up leaving ridges on the rotor that my Indy had to use a wizz wheel to grind off to make them go away. Prior to him doing that I had moderate shakes when braking.
