BMW E46 Big Brakes OEM Upgrade No Modification - BBK

[@DeadFlirt]

Most helpful guy in the e46 community. Appreciate you dude.

[@sgreenfield4]

Brilliant! Truly... I've been wanting to upgrade my 330ci brakes to a big brake kit keeping it OEM without breaking the bank and you figured it out.

Thanks for sharing this, Tyler! 🤙

[@MichaDamian666]

F30 calipers are used in combo with VW T5/T6 discs

[@OLearysBMW]

@MichaDamian666 Yes, need to machine the center larger and do some shimming from what I remember.

[@MichaDamian666]

@@OLearysBMW Thats correct, from 76mm to 79mm and a 1,5mm washer between caliper and mounting points. On the plus side the T5/T6 zimmermann disc's even with machining are 1/3 of the prize of the M3 disc's

[@freak_is_already_taken]

@@MichaDamian666 And weight 50% more.

[@MichaDamian666]

​@@freak_is_already_taken bullshit, maybe a tad more but nothing you or car gonna notice! But a lot more stopping power!

[@MichaDamian666]

@@freak_is_already_taken Horseshit!! Mabey in the calipers but nothing you or your car gonna notice!!!

Great video as always! Definitely going to look into doing this in the future. Thanks Tyler.

[@Nathan_Johnson7723]

Very informative thanks for sharing this

[@joe_ferreira]

please create a playlist I can follow for this amazing build!

[@OLearysBMW]

@@joe_ferreira Good idea! I currently have 3 videos so far of the project. Mainly refreshing components within the engine.

[@joe_ferreira]

@@OLearysBMW I am binging them now!

[@Dz1adz1oSamoZlo]

I know that Opel Insignia B have 345 mm rotors that are known to be put on e46 (when the center is machined out to fit bmw hubs) I wonder if maybe they would fit edit, according to my logical point of view, they should with a few mm distance between caliper and hub. The next thing to worry about would be how the pad biting would look like.

[@KenanRaptor]

You are awesome dude! Thanks!❤

[@zk9964]

Thank you for sharing! In theory these should also bolt to a non M e36.

[@Generalusuer]

Awesome upgrade.

[@dironizareyes596]

M5 motor!!!!!!! Dude!!!!!! Freaking awesome Tyler!!!!

[@joelellis9661]

quality as always

[@DailyDrivenClasssics]

Didnt even know that the E9x brakes would be pnp . You could also use M3 calipers which are the same as on the CSL and buy csl carriers( 850 per side ) But that's a lot more expensive.

[@OLearysBMW]

@DailyDrivenClasssics M3 caliper install onto non M3 knuckle needs removal of material from caliper bracket to make up for offset. Not saying that's a huge deal or anything, just seems unnecessary to source M3 calipers.

[@DailyDrivenClasssics]

@@OLearysBMW Yea, forgot about that :)

[@oquemar1984]

Nice upgrade mate. Just a question, you mentioned e70 x5 are direct bolt-on caliper at Rear End, need different fluid lines or wear sensors? Could you make a specific video on that upgrade?

[@YootubeUK]

Nice! Seasons Greetings to you dude!

[@OLearysBMW]

You as well my friend, hoping you have a great holiday!

[@HoBuilds]

Seasons greets! Thanks for the wealth of info

[@TheZulajin]

wow thanks for these tips ! first i thought it will work only with 18´.... do you know diameters of your 17´ wheels to fit?

[@dbsilas2554]

i just like big brakes💯

[@Gtbtdx]

Ich danke dir für diese Information. Ich habe leider die 135i performance bremse gekauft ... mit e92 M3 Bremsscheiben. ... hätte ich es vorher gewusst... vielleicht nicht gekauft

[@idokwatcher2062]

How to use e92 m3 350x24mm discs on e46 m3 with 2 piston caliper? Is disc machined in some way? Is trailing arm mounting modified somehow or there is an adapter?

[@Gtbtdx]

@idokwatcher2062 it is 360 x 3xmm You need adapter ... it's 6 poston front

[@Gtbtdx]

@idokwatcher2062 i don't no .... never do it

[@cameronwilson9193]

bro this is awesome thanks for sharing

[@cameronwilson9193]

went from a 318ti m sport to a 328ci i manual swapped n been learning a lot from what you do for future plans. any recomendations where to go to n52b30 swap an e46

[@loloh7547]

thanks for the video and information would this set up work for 2000 323ci running a stock 16 inch style 42 rim -

[@OLearysBMW]

@@loloh7547 16" wheels will not clear this setup

[@pg190]

So these fit the e46 330i hubs, would they also fit the e36? As i have used the 330i callipers and rotors, on the e36, which fit.

[@jkrueger27]

Does it matter which e70 rear calipers? 35i, 48i, 50i? Looks like the 30i and the 35i have a different part number than the 48i and 50i

[@Scarlif3x]

Where did you buy the rotors?

[@giwrgosmpakogiannhs859]

Can swap stock 335 brakes with no csl disks on e46?

[@almightytsunami]

I knew snagging those 335 calipers from picknpull would come in handy one day lol

[@fransisrld]

Sorry, I didn't hear what brake pads you are using? I assume original ones for the caliper from the 335i? Thank you!

[@OLearysBMW]

@@fransisrld Pads meant for the 335, yes

[@adrianawaken8819]

💪

[@KenanRaptor]

Are 330 brackets the same as 323 brackets?

[@OLearysBMW]

@@KenanRaptor Caliper brackets are not the same front or rear. Front knuckles are the same.

[@elmersamuel6229]

What other rotors can fit on this setup

[@OLearysBMW]

I'm not sure at the moment when it comes to all usable rotors, I'll have to do some measuring.

[@pedronobre4896]

This 335 calliper would fit on just 330d carrier with 324mm dis , i dont need bigger than 324 , but less weight . Some advice on this please , its a touring m47

[@irinamartynenko4807]

So a single piston on the e9x vs two piston system on the 330i, how is this better besides weight saving?

[@OLearysBMW]

@irinamartynenko4807 330 E46 doesn't have 2 piston.

[@irinamartynenko4807]

@ you right, disregard. I was looking at the mdx caliper that was in the pile of parts

[@viliussedbaras6544]

Does e90 front calipers works on e46 with e90 335i rotors? Or just with e46 CSL rotors?

[@OLearysBMW]

@@viliussedbaras6544 E9x rotors do not fit.

[@viliussedbaras6544]

​@@OLearysBMW thanks, so just expensive discs fits :)

[@OLearysBMW]

@viliussedbaras6544 There are other options, yet would involve hub centric spacers and/or some machine work. The E46 M3 CSL rotor can be expensive, no doubt. I spent a good amount of time searching for a deal.

[@viliussedbaras6544]

​@@OLearysBMWI have already read about VW discs in other comments, but I will better buy CSL disc. Thanks for answers

[@NoHandleAT]

Assuming this is not a Pn'P as a M3 e46 brake upgrade, right? Or is it?

Where did you get the rotors from?
