On my list of improvements are my brakes. Having previously owned an e86 and a 330d i find the brakes on my 3.0l e86 a bit weak. Now i know i can upgrade to 325 discs calipers and carriers which is on my todo list.
The question i have (finally!!) Would you upgrade the rears too? Logically it would make sense to inorder to keep the balance. Pratically is there a need to? Interested in peoples knowledge on the subject and yhose that have done the upgrade.

I'd like to echo the above, but just for the 3.0
So for the 2.0 to 2.5 you could upgrade the rears. Otherwise there is no need
