The Ultimate OEM Brake Swap: E9X to F8X Brakes to Dominate the Road!

[@mauricioruffatti9531]

Al fin un KZbinr sensato y objetivo, te felicito. Los demás han quedado echando espuma por la boca. Como dijo Don Quijote: “Ladran, señal que cabalgamos”.

[@aaronbrown4366]

Nice! Love these brakes. I have a 435i that came with a ton of options, but didn’t have the brake package. I kept the from 340mm and just retrofitted the rears to the 345’s. Absolutely love the look. I had mine painted in BMW Manhattan metallic green. Shout out to VYS garage!

[@finemperor3694]

Sick upgrade. Thinking about doing something like this for my 08 335i since I'm big single now.

[@jack.dahl1]

Nice. I just painted mine a similar color! Can’t wait for the BBS E88’s 😎

[@ThicWhips]

😎

[@SOCIALLYDRIVEN]

Nice man! Id recommend the AP BTCC Kit for the front and then F8X for the rear 👌🏽👌🏽

[@PureThrottle]

New brakes looks awesome!! 😍

[@exiteternium]

As Seems Legit now has the adapter piece for the front M brembo calipers, do you still recommend goign with the F8X front carrier's, or keep factory E9x front carriers?

[@joshuafidone]

This M3 is superb, i want one along my M2. Still searching for a good 1 series to modify like you did.

[@chinallue]

I'm surprised you didn't put the 'THIC' decal on the calipers!!

[@Dentprotony]

Very nice install! What paint code is it ? Id like to paint match my brakes

[@ezequielvega7820]

I love your taste!!! The M3 looks clean 🧼

[@ithinkweregoingtoneedabigg8525]

I ordered ECS 2 piece rotors all around, flushed brake fluid and swapped pads. I also fashioned functional brake duct hosing from my gt4 front lip. Immediately eliminated brake fade and feels amazing. Would suggest checking out for a video idea.

[@v8_sami]

Do you have the link to the product? I still have the stock brakes and don’t plan on changing it until I have to change the pads and rotors again.

[@m3sneakerhead465]

Not sure how much better the F8X are, but I purchased my Stoptech 6 piston front/4 piston rear BBK for 5k. I checked the prices in the description and to do this conversion it looks like it could surpass that total.

[@ThicWhips]

For sure. Majority of people doing this conversion however, are doing so with used parts. Saving thousands that route

[@adisonsichampanakhone1070]

I was told these brakes would need a 19inch wheel. I’m glad to see it works with 18x10!

[@miguelosterroht]

He has the 4 calipers painted in gold, the original BMW gold comes in the CCBs and has 6 pistons, then yes, you need 19 inches. In the M2 CS for example they barely clear the 19s

[@user-vj6bx3ks7s]

19s or spacers

[@arthur_chung]

Why did you need the new hub? I’ve seen some people do it using their E9X hub and not changing it. Just curious.

[@Kontravercee]

Did you connect pad sensors on this setup? i just ordered these front and rear calipers for my 08 E92 m3 to do the similar

[@Oakleyicon]

I’m guessing your new wheels are same or similar to the ones on the 135?…… matching the gold calipers? 🤔

[@palchiu]

This is awesome! Amazing brakes swap. May I ask where to find these rear calipers brackets(adapters) for F8X rear caliper swap? Thanks!

[@ThicWhips]

Seems legit makes them

[@palchiu]

@@ThicWhips Found it, Thanks alot! Love you videos.❤

[@joshhdtx]

making me want to grab a set of 18s for my M3. they're so clean with the meaty tires. hopefully one day i can take my e90 to the nurburgring and on the autobahn

[@edwardwerley8831]

Niiice upgrade. To your knowledge do you have to do any upgrades on the master solenoid for this conversion on the non-M E9X vehicle?

[@ThicWhips]

You’ll need an m3 master

[@Ananasbrot]

How are the wheels called? Are these the M513? Greetings from Germany.

[@101daomations8]

How did you mount the front wheel speed sensor? Did you use a f80 or e92 sensor?

[@Jbpgarage]

Looks great, OE ++, I have them on my E46 M3 👌🏾👌🏾.

[@MeSs2007]

Will the offset of the wheel be affected? :)

[@mueedk2]

Would they work with stock Competition Pack wheels 🤔

[@Shingorani]

Do you plan on paint matching the rear trunk lid? Would look so much more complete with it paint matched!

[@jackse82]

But then what’s the point in buying carbon fibre. Painting a carbon fibre part for a modified road car is sacrilege. Show off the carbon 👌🏻

[@Shingorani]

@@jackse82 it's about showing the carbon and making it look classy at the same time. The whole trunk not matching looks kinda off to me similar to when people get gts hoods and don't paint match. Could easily paint match most of the trunk but leave the wing part of it exposed. Just my opinion though

[@ThicWhips]

Patience my friend, I’ve got plans 😉

[@jackse82]

@@Shingorani M3 has carbon roof, he now has carbon boot, if he gets a carbon bonnet then itll all flow together. Theres no point buying carbon for a road car without showing it off because you could just get fibreglass and paint it for the same price as Carbon, and barely a weight difference

[@m3sneakerhead465]

@@jackse82his M3 has a sunroof….not the carbon fiber roof. I myself have a carbon csl trunk and had the back side facing rear completely painted and left the top part completely exposed to match my roof.

[@michaelcho2747]

why not go with the turner tie rod ends as well to fully finish off the front end?

[@ThicWhips]

No sir, I Already replaced inner AND outers.

[@KIINGS100]

Why doesn’t any1 135m brakes all around ?

[@Wolff36]

The grey ones? BMW Performance?

[@KIINGS100]

@@Wolff36 yeah

[@vinnys3781]

Why did you have to change the steering carriers on the fronts for? I thought you only had to get the caliper adapters for the front calipers. I’m looking to do this upgrade to my 08 335i

[@jackse82]

It’s only for the M3. 335i just uses adapters, same with E82 135i, barely any modification. But it’s different for the 92 M3 as it has different knuckles.

[@serghrndz4288]

Do you have to replace the spindles on a e9x 335i?

[@ugurpolatarslan]

I have an e 90 may I install to my car ?

[@mihaildikov5150]

Why F series knuckle is required I run 370 mill rotor from F30 335i Performance package and m4 calipers which bolt on on my e92 335i? Is this in order to run the M3 rotor?

[@ThicWhips]

It’s different on e92 m3. You need the knuckle in order to run the f8x caliper and rotor

[@Slowspeed]

Love it!

[@ThicWhips]

Thanks man, hope you are well

[@tonykemper8896]

what wheels are those? id like to have a set for my e91

[@BimmerFordDude]

No master cylinder upgrade required?

[@ThicWhips]

Nope. Not on e9x m

[@odaysh1667]

nice color, do you mind share the color's code?

[@ThicWhips]

I’m not certain on code, I just showed my paint shop a ccb gold brake and said : match this!

[@BigBootFaramir]

Did you have them paint the M decals as well or did you put those on yourself?

[@ThicWhips]

The paint shop applied the decals for me

[@xxshadowmanxx8552]

Why u change the hubs

Excellent upgrade, Jonathan, one of the flaw of the E9X M cars were that the stock brakes were insufficient for either spirited driving touge or track use.🔥🔥🔥

Nooo don't change those wheels the look AMAZING!!!!
