Randy's Instagram @randallrainz
In this video, my friend Randy and I gave my F30 340i a brake overhaul with a set of F80 M3 calipers, larger rotors, performance pads and stainless braided brake lines. Brakes are a crucial part of your vehicle’s safety. Always work within your capabilities and when in doubt, have an expert help or supervise!

Dude! Awesome job on the edit. Turned out great. We’ll have to do another one! Thanks for the shout out Bruv 🙌

[@flexspec]

Love how Randy describes what he’s doing. Well spoken. He needs to come back for another project. 🔥🔥🔥

[@PLuKE06]

Great video. Randy has a good manner, well worded, clear, calm and slow talk through. Great collaboration. More please….

[@KiesMotorsports]

Great job guys 🔥🔥🔥

Randy and video tutorials go together nicely. Cool, calm and clear.

[@finagansbmw8210]

This is just great stuff. Your vids are the best on youtube. Relaxed - no hype. Ty for keeping it real.

[@djrealz]

Great video! Entertaining as always. Great story at the end from Randy. Keep the videos coming. Love the F30 build!

Great video really well delivered can't wait for the next one keep them coming

[@hernirvilhjalms1304]

Randy is a cool guy. Top notch video as always Justin and a nice upgrade!

[@justinbuice]

Thank you! He’s a great guy!

[@ThicWhips]

Super detailed video man, they look great!

[@justinbuice]

Thank you!! I like how you put your channel name on your calipers. I might have to do something like that since mine are faded lol

[@1ROCKY89]

Nice work guys. I just bought these calipers for my e90 m3 and sending it to the shop and then the track haha yeah

[@chriscartwright9087]

Thank you for putting Randy’s stories at the end. If there is anyone that could make me cry laughing, it’s Randy. Great job dude!

[@anthonyfadel6943]

Good job guys! Awesome video as always. Randy is impressively knowledgeable and mindful of the work he does. Love the channel! 😎

[@omegasak1752]

Haha great video! Thumbs up for your pal to be back again! Seems he has funny stories to tell haha Also where are the shots of the results? I love that blue with that white!

[@TheHunterHofman]

Cool, I just released a video of doing a brake fluid flush and steel braided brake lines on my M2 yesterday. Your car is clean man, just like your videos.

[@justinbuice]

Thank you!

[@ayyyman_]

Looks so good behind those wheels!

[@justinbuice]

Thanks! I love how it came out!

[@tomascortez9799]

This looks awesome man! You mind doing a buyers guide video one day of things to look for when buying an f30!

[@illestprincessforeve]

So nice seeing Randy and you working in a video together! This was such a nice upgrade! Mine next! 😈

[@The_journeyy]

Its been so good to see your progression inspiring 🔥

[@GrittyPhi]

you guys are dope and explain so well

Sweet breaks but love love that seiko as well

[@Bimmerfan_e36]

Nice video as always. Randy was very handy! 😂 nice work

[@justinbuice]

Thanks!!

[@MrOmgSkittlez]

the 335i and 340i both came with the option for the blue brembos. 370mm/345mm rotors, its legit the same stuff

[@sashi_bin]

I LIKE IT MANN! DONING GREAT! ALL THE BEST FROM GERMANY.

[@justinbuice]

Thank you!!

[@bispbingseye6693]

thic whips did this the other day but im always down to watch both videos

[@justinbuice]

I appreciate it! 🙏🏻 he messaged me on Saturday to show that we were both doing our brakes at the same time. I was planning to upload sooner but my computer died while editing this 🤣

[@matthewdagistanli2187]

cool video. do more collabs w randy he was able to make sense of everything very well

[@aaronbrown4366]

Thank you for this. Question for you, a very novice question - would I have any issues just doing the rear upgrade on my M Sport? I have the unpainted Brembo’s up front and the plan would be to just have those painted, then do the rear Brembo upgrade in the rear to complete the look. It’ll mainly be an aesthetic upgrade since I have plans for new wheels and I love the completed look. Just not sure if having that larger rotor in the rear would have any effects if I’m not pairing it with the slight upgrade up front. Thanks!

[@AlanNoMoney]

Finally a new video 🙌🙌

[@justinbuice]

😎

[@SASWarlord]

Awesome video! Only one question: I'm going to use my stock fluid pipes because the msport kit I bought is used and they cut off everything. Should I use the same wood-on-pedal thing?

[@monninracing]

Did you code the sport brake option in the vehicle order? if you didn't you should, your brakes will feel even better.

[@VNEMUS]

Justin, I can see why you and Randy are friends! Similar personalities, analytical,detail oriented and articulate like you. Has Randy kept up with the skateboarding as you have?

[@justinbuice]

He still has a board but at this point I think he’s gone all in on cars. I’d love to see him get back in to skateboarding though. I’m the only one from our original friend group who’s still skating regularly. Im trying to get him to start his own KZbin channel. He has a ton of knowledge to give!

[@WhatsyourForte]

Looks good bro

[@justinbuice]

Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@Kalashnikov444]

Going to be doing this install soon! Are the front rotors the same exact ones from the M3? Or are they different for the F30?

[@TheHunterHofman]

Interesting that your lug nuts of Motorsport Hardware have a lot of rust of them too. Mine are already quite rusted as well.

[@justinbuice]

Yeah it seems the finish on them becomes compromised after taking them off and on a few times

[@PassieD]

I read that your old setup would work on my E90n 335i 😋 you selling those parts?

[@bajamedic]

Cool vid, why not go through everything and clean it up while it was apart?

[@pixelcharlie]

Don't you need to replace the brake dust shield when changing your rotors to a larger one to match it? honest question.

[@Enthusiast_Plus]

I need to do this on my F31

[@ScottPC]

Im surprised you get the smaller brakes on the 340i? We literally have the larger ones standard on the M140i here and its a smaller car!!

[@GB19751]

BMW's in the UK don't come with turn signals either (we call them indicators)

[@jaya6454]

👍🏿 happy thanksgiving

[@justinbuice]

Happy Thanksgiving!

[@timkebienda1809]

I have an F32, and the braking is kinda dull. If you were to say in percentage, how much will the f82 brake overhaul improve my braking?

[@hoonywise]

Don't forget to VO code to either 2NH or SPBR, and change the rotor sizes under DSC! Otherwise it is going to feel mushier than stock.

[@justinbuice]

Good looking out :)

[@oOs4MzOo]

How do you code?

[@michaelhall9138]

Ummm….. You’re supposed to bleed the brakes starting at the caliper furthest from the master cylinder (right rear) working toward the closest (driver’s front).

[@subsenix]

quick question..if you're mounting new calipers...why don't you wipe them off before installing them? they have brake dust inside them :(

[@dma2811]

Aren't there two more soft brake lines in the back underneath the car?

[@tomv8240]

I wish I had friends to do car projects with

[@maziarzarea2540]

I wish I had friends

[@hyde_official]

why do I feel like this video is a déjà vu??? lol, like no kidding. Anyway. Feel the stopping power. I should be doing mine soon, just waiting for the rotors to come.

[@justinbuice]

🤣🤣🤣 Good luck! This job really wasn’t too bad especially with two people

[@hyde_official]

@@justinbuice yeah, also this is achievable for 1 person job using the bleeder tool which I already have and works great.

[@recklezz_9738]

Need this for my whip but that price tag😩

[@omarspost]

Why do others say you need an adaptor plate for fitting these exact callipers (370/380) to an e90? Im looking to do this same upgrade to my e89 Z4 35is which shares the same calliper mounts as the e90 335i i think. There's not much love online for the z4 so Im relying e90 posts.

[@kevinmiller4757]

can you not use a suction gun for bleeding the brakes??

[@hahababyboy]

Are you brakes pedal feel mushy / Spongey? I’m fighting with mushyness with my recently changed m sport / Perf calipers. Already coded It’s firm when new brake pads installed, but after a while it’s soft and need to double pump for a rock solid feel.

[@arov235]

Looks great! How is the dust with the EBC Red Stuff pads?

[@justinbuice]

So far so good. Im going to put some miles on them and I’ll report back

[@carloscortez1219]

So we can’t use the f80 rotors ? With this swap on the 340 ?

[@zackrides265]

So you didnt do anything to the rear dust shields?

[@momchilmestchiev1583]

There is a german adapter for the 340 caliper to use 380 m3 discs

[@brunosanchez8509]

I seen a video someone code these is that necessary or no ? After install

[@othellondaba6333]

Notification gang stand up!!!

[@MegatronTheGod]

I have a 2016 BMW 435i with 19-inch wheels, will this fit my car without going up to a larger wheel?

[@itsthememestealer6522]

Does this fit on any f30 ? For Example like a base 330i ?

[@qwertyqwerty-zi6dr]

Are the stock brakes bad?

[@DerekMantei]

does it really stop 3 grand better?

[@tomyenemy]

Entrarán sin espaciador si coloco unas style 260m? (Llantas de m3)

[@justsomecanadian]

I had the red m performance big brake kit installed on my F30 this past summer. I believe they are the biggest OEM brake kit for the F30 and they had to be coded to the car, did you not need to code those blue ones too?

[@Hi1off]

i wanted to ask the same thing As far as i know you have to code the dtc that the car has a bigger brake system

[@andrewmarshall541]

Will I void my warranty if I put m sport brakes on my e 330 2023 ?

[@uklmngubane5661]

Is the braking better!!

[@josecathcart473]

Hi I just bought rear calipers blue from a 2016 m3 They say p244 Can I use 2016 f80/m3 rear calipers on my 2018 340 I 19inch rims. The f80 M3 calipers had 370mm rotors in the rear original with the m3 car. The stamp says p244 I’ve seen p240 on other research with m performance package The 44 is a bigger piston same size as the m performance Can I use the 345mm rotor on the p244 blue caliper I know they originally came with the M3 and 370 rotors My big question is Can I use the calipers I bought and just use the 345mm rotors I know my rear cannot hold a 370 rotor From my research, it can hold a 345 rotor

[@tethatethy3085]

is that 370mm rotor? is it fit to 18inch wheel?

[@d2eraisk]

Don't they need to be coded??? I had to code my BBK on my f30

[@carloscortez6839]

What is your wheels set up

[@Anurag-bp7ku]

The only thing now is the digital cluster!

[@sootherelax2802]

Your channels making me want a 340i xdrive. How’s reliability on yours?

[@justinbuice]

Havent had any major issues yet. Got it with 34k miles and now at 51k. So far so good!

[@marcin020799]

Do steel braided brake lines make a significant difference in braking predictability? On my E46 sometimes during emergency braking I have an impression it won't make it to the complete stop but eventually it stops when it should. I'm planning to install Brembo discs and pads along with braided brake lines and hope it improves the predictability and "braking force feedback".

[@piovo5222]

Did it?

[@gianellicapone8740]

I had a 03 E46m3 and ss brake lines don’t make you stop faster but it’s a firmer pedal feel, I liked it.

[@marcin020799]

@@gianellicapone8740 Thanks for the reply! That's what I wanted to hear 😄

[@skunkpowergarage]

It's more easy to put a spacer that converts your PCD to fit a specific wheel when u have bolts, like Fahre Films who put Porsche 5x130 wheels on his BMW E91. Sry but i'm from Europe and all EU cars have bolts and i can't see the benefit of having studs. You can also remove the brake disk without removing the caliper and so on

[@justinbuice]

Those are good points. To me, for general purpose - taking wheels on and off, the studs make it easier. And the fact the BMW sells an alignment tool that imitates a stud is evidence of that. Unless they only sell that tool to Americans 🤣

[@DarkHokageSFL]

How much have you put in your car so far? I have a 2016 328i and I'm starting to do work. Just bought some rims and I want to upgrade the screen like you did for your car. You think 10-15k would be enough?

[@justinbuice]

The total retail value of parts so far is around 17-18k. You could get a lot done with 15k

[@denist1593]

First I hit Like, after i enjoy the video !

[@justinbuice]

I appreciate that!

[@alexandermakhorin5533]

Thank you for video! Will these brakes fit f32 440i?

Yes

[@utpaldas6293]

Super ❤

[@matthias12345654321]

I think you may have put the discs on backwards?

[@justinbuice]

That’s what I thought too but that’s they way the manufacturer designed them. This link has a diagram showing the rotation direction ls1tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes/1918136-stoptech-slotted-rotors-hawks-pads.html

[@realtruth97]

What size tires dude?

[@davec5237]

Very nice 👍

[@justinbuice]

Thank you 👍

[@rob180bhp5]

Should have fitted f80 discs

[@stephenwilson2793]

Aren’t those directional sided discs/rotors?? If so they are on the wrong side. (Just saying)

[@justinbuice]

They are directional and were labeled by the manufacturer. See link with diagrams here www.zeckhausen.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=6446_6515

[@2011Transformersdotm]

Performance wise there is not a big improvement because your 340i already got a big brake system. The difference is really noticable on the 4 cyl. models. The F80 brake system is almost the same as the 18 inch bmw m performance brake system which i would go for. The stock brake system is more than enough, even if you plan to tune your 340i so its more astethic reasons than actual improvement.

[@Dubgamingstep13]

Can you fit the f80 brakes if you have 18in wheels?

[@DiogoSilva-hr8ee]

What do you think about the ebc redstuff pads? I wanna buy them but I heard they are a bit noisy at low speeds

[@justinbuice]

So far so good. Im going to put some miles on them and report back

[@DiogoSilva-hr8ee]

@@justinbuice thanks 😁

[@FrankiE90jl]

Did you sell the f30 calipers yet?😂

[@ruvdan]

I saw Thic Whips do this and he said they needed to be coded to get full functionality. do you know what that means/entails? what more functionality do they get from coding?

[@justinbuice]

From what I understand, it’s letting the car know which brake option is installed to help calibrate the dynamic stability control system. Im not sure what the real world difference is after coding, but I’ll code mine and report back

[@ruvdan]

@@justinbuice sounds good! also another question you may/may not be able to answer but would this retrofit work on a car with stock f30 brakes (non-msport/non-brembo)? I have an F31 that I’d love to have f80 brakes and calipers on.

[@justinbuice]

@@ruvdan that I’ll have to check on. Im not sure if it will be a direct bolt on or if you need to change the knuckle

@13:39 it's 380mm not 370mm

[@AutoMarExtreme]

Nice ! MMM

[@nobody.no-one]

[@jeromea.4215]

Get a pressure bleeder. They're inexpensive and save a lot of time flushing brakes. No need to do the pump/bleed "dance" with a friend.

[@la.m240i6]

what size is the rear rotor?

[@justinbuice]

I will have to double check but I believe the ones we installed in the rear are 340mm

[@la.m240i6]

@@justinbuice ok makes sense. So the rear was mostly an upgrade for the calipers going to a 2 pot. Thanks

[@GingerHamster19]

they're not f80 brakes. just the optional extra 370mm brakes

[@franksilva2600]

They are f80 brakes. The f80 m4 comes with 380 rotors but the non m cars come with 370 rotors.

[@rawsick]

Seriously wonder how much someone would pay for your car

You know guys it's not F80 brakes??

I woulda just got the f80 if your gonna put f80 parts on. Just my opinion

Ohh in that case knock yourself out. 😂
