How I Managed To Retrofit F80 M3 Brakes Onto My BMW 335i - EASY AND AFFORDABLE!

[@DeanieBN54]

For anyone interested in this brake installation READ THIS! IMO its simply not worth the headache trying to mount 370mm in the rear. Based on the research ive done youd be better off just mounting 345mm e60 discs with eccentric bushings instead of 370mm discs its a direct bolt on and will work great! If youre dead set on mounting 370mm rotors then: 1. Im pretty sure you either have to do some serious hub carrier grinding, and youve gotta have a custom bracket set (not from SLG, youd have to fabricate your own) 2. The second option is to swap the hubs from a 135i or the knuckles from an m3, both of which are still not great options as im almost sure the handbrake would be mouth-functioning, hard to install, and or simply just not working with the f8x rotors. Ive seen it done but i have yet to receive any info about the specs. So dont quote me. Im going with the 345mm e60 route, and 370mm rotors in the front (direct bolt on). Im also going to just order a used pair of calipers off ebay then sandblast and re-powder coat them, its the cheapest option. If you really want to go budget you can buy used discs and pads off eBay which is also a great option. But id recommend buying new brake lines regardless of any scenario and definitely dont recommend buying a brand new set of calipers, its simply just too expensive. So to sum things up, (Front) -(cheapest) if you want to go the 340mm front disk route (8mm smaller than stock) its a direct bolt on to the car. All u need is 340mm calipers, and 340mm disks. -if you want to mount 370 in the front all you need to do make sure you buy the 370/380mm Caliper set (its direct bolt on) -(most expensive) if you want to go the 380 in the front route you will need the brackets from SLG and a set of 370/380mm calipers For the rear: If you want to go the 345mm e60 route you will need eccentric bushings, calipers, and rotors. If you want to go the 370 route youll need to do some research, but hopefully youll have luck on your side!

[@Gwill15]

Research goes a long way. There’s a plethora of information on the forums that would’ve helped you during your brake conversion ie eccentric bushings to get the rear calipers to sit on the hub properly (for less than $100) as well as an e9x m3 master cylinder that is required to prevent a spongy brake pedals after the rear calipers installed.

Did you have to code anything? I'm swaping my e81 130i fronts for the 4 Piston f20 340mm brakes. Something about the ABS or brake pressure needs coding, right?

[@burntavocado5033]

Hey bro just some constructive criticism, I've been watching your videos for a while now, and being here for a while, I feel like I've seen this channel start to plateau and stagnate. I just feel at this point the Instagram style "look at this, look at me" videos are growing old. And although your excitement is real, I feel like we are missing the 'it' factor that captured us BMW fans and owners to this channel in the first place. The passion seems to be fizzling out, weather you or us (your viewers) realize it. I think it would be best to take a step back and become more humble. I think what captured us to your channel was that, for the most part, everything you did to your e93 was something we could do ourselves. Most of us only have our driveways to work with, not a multi million dollar shop to do the dirty work(literally). The M5 is out of our price range, the e90 has a budget that is greater then most of our lifetime savings, the E46 M3's are getting more and more expensive by the day and E30's are too rare and daunting for us amateur enthusiasts. Basically what I'm saying is that there is little for us normal folk with your current lineup. Maybe for your next BMW, get something more affordable. Or more common like a f30 328i, or a offroad X5 build. Start with something that needs some work and really focus on the diy! Remember this is your channel and you should be the star. Not the guys at PSI. Instead of the M5 I was really hoping you'd get a F10 550i. It's something that's more affordable to us. Stick to simple bolt ons and retrofits, with detailed DIY vids to guide us with our own projects. I'm glad you're in a position in life where you can afford to do these builds, but ironically your financial ability to do these builds is what is putting a rift between you and us. Teach us how to upgrade our sound, touch up our paint with BMW paint stick, restore our headlights, and throw on some bolt on mods. Heck, a diesel build would be cool because it's different. Separate your self from the pack. M539's channel has exploded in no time. Meanwhile your current videos struggle to get the views and response they once easily achieved. Just my .02¢ Because I care and would like to see you do better.

Looks like a great brake system! But the rotors got put on the wrong way. The fins inside the rotor are meant to "scoop" the air and channel it through the rotor, helping to cool the rotor. There is a duct in the bumper/fender liner that flows air to the rotors. If they are put on backwards, there is no cooling air flowing through the rotors.

[@ModMINI]

That is incorrect. They are meant to 'suck' air from the center of the rotor by creating a vacuum as they rotate (think 'venturi' effect such as a carburetor)
