Installing Massive 135 Brembo Brakes on my BMW e46!!!

[@backblockdetails]

If anyone is looking for a cheaper/less rare alternative, the F30 335/340i brakes bolt right up to the e46. I believe they’re 4 piston fronts and 2 piston rears. These 6 pots are holy grails in terms of bmw calipers but they’re hard to come by and usually people want a lot of money for them. The F30 brakes are a more common and affordable alternative, but Salute to evan for finding the holy grails for a great price too

[@EvanGoyuk]

I actually thought about using f30 calipers but got a good deal

[@SavageBunny1]

No way? No mods or custom brakets?

[@Dirtyhealz]

@@SavageBunny1 i belive you also need the e46 m3 csl discs with this mod, and also that little screw

[@sr20dett1000]

But you need a more expensive rotor csl 345x28.

​@@sr20dett1000 Combi t5 disc is cheap but require a little machining

Awesome to see you back Evan!

The video title we’ve all been waiting for🥹🎉

[@mariusciorascu4474]

Hy Evan, man this changes look's insane, nice , i wish you all the best and keep take care of your beautiful E46.

[@tiagolucio2845]

Hello Evan, great video! Which were the rear brake lines that you used to mount the 135i rear caliper?

[@damojan]

Nice work. I just wanted to make a comment on the flanged Allen screws on the rotors. The sole purpose of those screws is to hold the rotor plumb while you install the calipers. This is no different than installing a wheel nut on a stud and using it to push the rotor up snug with the hub. Telling people to always buy new ones is way overkill. There are no mechanical forces on those screws during vehicle operation. In fact, I only hand tighten them on my cars. The screw can’t come loose because the wheel prevents it from coming out.

[@erictorres8123]

They look amazing congrats!

[@rubensantos5506]

can you link the brake lines? special thanks 🙏🏼

[@matthewnicholas6365]

Would have been good to do a before and after brake test. I'm sure your mind and foot will tell you the stopping distance is shorter. But it won't be.

[@imestia7911]

Why it won't be if it brakes better?

[@matthewnicholas6365]

@imestia7911 the oem brakes are more than able to stop the car. Bigger brakes only ever become a benefit when you over heat the standard sized brakes. You will only ever overheat brakes in a hard track session when you're constantly hitting them hard before they've have a chance too cool from the last time. You will not overheat brakes on the road. Scientific fact- bigger brakes don't stop you quicker. Better tyres will.

[@christopherramirez6086]

If you’re going 150mph and you want to stop fast these will stop a lot lot better. As in if you’re street racing, also in general they will be less prone to warping as they won’t get as hot. And if done well they will stop better just because of the caliper change in tech. He went from a floating caliper to a fixed. It’s better in every way.

[@imestia7911]

@@christopherramirez6086 wait cause English ain't my first language. Fixed caliper is better than floating calipers? And floating disc is better than fixed discs?

[@matthewnicholas6365]

@christopherramirez6086 if you're doing 150mph on the street you need to be banged up. If you're doing 150mph racing and need to stop urgently, I think the penalty should be harsher.

[@jorgemickael4320]

Les disques a l’arrière c’est quoi le modèle? Pas besoin de cales pour les étriers? J’ai une m3 e46

[@PRAGEETHKARUNADHEERA]

How heavy are they? Specially compared to stock?

[@denzelw9664]

Been trying to find a pair of those front calipers for a while but certainly not from ECS Tuning. One of the cars those calipers come on is the Mini Cooper GP. The front rotors are 330mm X 25mm. I believe those are the same on the 135 with the performance package.

[@maxbradley9534]

They are definitely not 130mm, that's insanely small, probably smaller than the wheel bearing. 330 rotors are 325mm

[@georgesmbyd6603]

Definitely not 130mm. That’s like a scooter brake rotor 🤣

[@CLOUD316]

130mm hahhahaha I needed that laugh

[@dafoot88]

What brake disks did you originally have on the car with the slots and drilled?

[@krunker7371]

Looks so nice! How much did this project cost in total?

[@EvanGoyuk]

A bit. I’m not sure on exact total

[@NelsonParra-r5u]

Will the calippers fit on 345x28mm rotors (m3), on 17inch wheels?

[@casperholm78]

brother this kit is worth more than your car

[@Svendrys]

press the brake pedal, don't release it, and wedge a broom stick between the seat and the pedal.. brake fluid will not drip ;) edit: disconect the battery so the brake light will not be on

[@vacated8493]

hey I know those are 18s but do you think there's any chance they'll clear 17 inch M3 countours lol

[@Dynamics99]

Hey Evan how much did the calipers cost as they are quite expensive.

[@EvanGoyuk]

I bought used for $700

[@aanderson-46]

What did you use for the rear hoses? Didn’t see them in the description

[@F06M6]

I bought a set of these refurb for $300, but couldn't make them fit onto my car Haha.

[@AnthonySantiago]

Evan, if you are selling your old front 330i setup, I'd be interested in purchasing.

[@EvanGoyuk]

Yes but they are rusted

[@AnthonySantiago]

@@EvanGoyuk As long as they still work ok, its cool. I plan to upgrade my 325i calipers to your 330i ones. I'll send you an email.

[@JLJL-b4u]

Nice brakes! Now the car will fall apart under hard breaking 😂

[@aesmilla]

Was the rust ever fixed?

[@EvanGoyuk]

Hehehe

[@davido8708]

Hi what brake lines did you end up with for the rear

[@StudioSasha]

HI, i saw your videoa you seem knowledgeable. Maybe you could help me with one question. I have 2010 bmw 528i E60 iDrive CCC head unit One space no DVD slot. the door Gong/chime became VERY loud and it bothers me. My question, can i either turn the gong off completely or lower the volume in the iDrive Program ? I ask alot of people they dont know how. Display Volume control no options change Gong volume, I also have the software ISTA + and I know it can be done but not for my model. Let me know, Thanks!

[@edwardgurhy100]

Anyone know what the little block do that appear to be bolted to the front top and bottom corners of the (front) calipers? There are 2 bolts and is a bit semi0 circular?

[@drewe46-m3]

Link for the rear lines.please

[@driver_18]

Hello, are 355mm rotors compatible with those Calipers??

[@Jay-cp6hw]

What is the diameter of your piston? Did you change the master cylinder? If not, does the brake feel the Same ?

[@brianmason1039]

Are those oem wheel bolts? Or are they aftermarket extended bolts? I have the same setup but without spacers and damn would it look good if I got those 10mm spacers!

[@brianmason1039]

Nevermind I answered my own question by clicking on the link!🤣

[@cairnhill64]

why no vidoes on your F10?

[@chrislisko484]

I'm trying to find an option for factory 17" wheels (type 119 I believe). I'm looking for a better than factory set up. Anyone make a kit for this request?

[@dog2bert]

Will the 135i calipers bolt right up to the rear of an e46 m3 or do you need an adapter?

[@EvanGoyuk]

Bolt right up in the rear

[@Mani00786]

I have an e46 m3 (uk car). Do you know if the 135i rear brakes just bolt on or is a bracket of some sort required?

[@EvanGoyuk]

Just bolt up

[@qabrielius]

what brake lines did you get?

[@nateklein7342]

I got these calipers for my 325i but the 330 rotors do not clear the hub. i guess ill have to swap spindles or wheel bearings :( anyone have any input on this?

[@mpineda6]

Hi there, how is the pad vs rotor coverage on the rear rotor, does the pad match the rotor surface? That is what has put me off doing this on my Z4M

Yes it does

[@GioBMX]

Your hood ok?

[@ehdriel4178]

will these calipers fit on stock e46 m3 rotors?

[@odie0815]

depends on the adapter you'll be using the calippers are originally build to be used with 336mm Rotors - so 325 should be possible - but my be a little bit tight close to the hub I ran the fronts with 345mm Rotors form the E46 M3 competition (or CSL) and standard E46 M3 rear rotors (since the competition or the CSL have the same) I had a 328i (EU-Model) therefore i had no problem fitting the rears wiothout modification to the carrier, the Front needed a different bracket -what i had a Tuning shop maschine for me according my specs. also you need to shave off 1mm from the brake pads if you try to use the 345x28mm CSL rotors or 325x28mm ///M3 rotors since the calipper is originally built for a 336x26mm Rotor Edit: but seeing the video - the diameter should be ok with the adapter Evan used - for the width you need to do the shaving of the pads - voila if you want to run the 345x28mm Rotory you can get away using the original 135 NBrackets - although you would need to shim it what was little to shady for me - thats the reason why i had fitting brackets made for me

[@thbigshot101]

@@odie0815 Fantastic info, so I can assume you tried to run the 135i pads with m3 rotors, standard or csl as both are 28mm thick, and it didnt work at all? or was really tight?

[@odie0815]

@@thbigshot101 unfortunately - without shaving off 1mm per pad it will not fit I had a machine shop in my area that deals mainly in farming stuff mill off 1mm per pad - worked wonderfully I ran the 135i OEM pads for several years in combination with the CSL rotors Generally I was very very happy with that combination!! I only went back to the 330i brakes because the 17" Styling 44 I was running during winter time were too much of a tight fit that the lack of ventilation was killing the rotors. the OEM 325x28mm M3 rotors might be OK but would not recommend running the 345x28mm rotors with 17" wheels

[@mxrclxst]

the rotors are going the wrong direction

[@BrunoMezenga2408]

Does anyone know if these front calipers would fit with CSL 345mm rotors?

Yes. However you need different caliper brackets than in the video. I believe seems legit garage also carry the brackets
