S50b32 rebuild - Z3M Coupe content

[Peter@AEW]

I see you evolved from a hammer & chisel to an angle grinder and a drill...

Respect:bravo:

:roflol:

Those clearance problems with the calipers have been resolved.
All I needed was some inspiration which I got by meditating next to the white Z3.........

Brake line hardware.

Lookin' badass!

 

[Peter@AEW]

Used 18mm spacers behind the disc
Discs are 330mmX28mm semi floating.
Pads are Ferodo Racing
Setup just fits under the wheel with enough clearance for the balancing weights.
I need to run the pads in before I test for brake efficiency so will give feedback in roughly 300Kms.

I take it this is to be Alex's future track car?

Oh wow, that is so pretty.

Studs?? On a BMW? how did you manage? How do you secure the studs from turning in the hub?

Well done on upgrading the brakes BEFORE any performance modifications

not sure what Peter used but H&R sell studs to do the job they have a 'bank' spot on the thread so you cant turn them in too deep and also come with thread locker applied

Nothing compliments nice wheels like nice brakes, looks fantastic.

The studs are awesome and the brakes are beautiful.
I can just imagine this is a huge upgrade especially on fade and maybe feel?

Tell Alex I say congrats!
