E46 M3 Stoptech BBK install - DIY

[@tailopez5106]

Your e46 looks killer! Especially with those lmr and stop techs

[@MunichVenom]

thank you, it really transformed the car and the stopping power with the BBK is so good. A huge upgrade over stock

[@bcgandrewej8]

Looks great!!

[@MunichVenom]

Thank you, Andrew!!! such a huge upgrade

Do you have to buy anything extra for the ebrake to fit on larger rotors?

[@MunichVenom]

You do not have to buy anything extra to keep the ebrake working. Stoptech has two different rotor hats and the ones I got are intended to keep the ebrake assembly intact

[@driver_18]

Hi, do these fit on a non M e46? For a 330ci

[@MunichVenom]

Stoptech does make specific ones for non-m models. You just have to look it up under your model and it’ll show you all of the options available

When you say you lost stock brakes on track, what pads/fluid/tires was that on?

[@MunichVenom]

I was on stock pads/ fluids while running michelin pss tires. By the end of the track day I burned through a fresh set of pads. Being able to swap in some motul brake fluid was the only reason we were able to continue having fun without having to leave but I did not push the car anymore that day since I did not have the confidence in the brakes anymore for good reason

Do you plan on adding bucket seats?

[@MunichVenom]

Yes, the plan is to install some bucket seats but I have not decided on which ones I want. The seats I really wanted are practically impossible to get at this point.

[@gio_ziraqa]

How much did it cost?

[@MunichVenom]

It was like 9.3k with tax and shipping

[@gio_ziraqa]

@@MunichVenom bruh... I bought whole m3 for 8k 😅😅 its not bad btw 😉

[@MunichVenom]

That was why I was always so hesitant to buy a bbk. But I’ve lost my stock brakes at the track before and that was a big reason why I was willing to upgrade to a bbk. Just piece of mind knowing when I stomp on the brakes they won’t ✌🏽

[@MunichVenom]

There are some good deals to be had with the m3s. Even though a lot of them are selling for ridiculous prices nowadays

[@darrenboston342]

Seems that whenever anybody fits a BBK them seem to become butchers! What’s with the rear brake shield ffs🤔🙄 Pop the rear brake shoe assembly off, unbolt & do a job properly ffs!🙄 I’ve got the AP racing radical calipers on mine, took the time to remove the shields in the correct manner tho… unlike some!🙄

[@MunichVenom]

Lmao if you say so buddy. I did have it off but if you actually looked at your work you’d see the ebrake assembly becomes exposed which will end up with issues down the line but ok 👌
