Brake calipers for 3.0i

Post by MR BLACK » Fri Mar 09, 2018 2:04 pm

Hi
I’ve got a sticking os front caliper done the usual stuff but keeps sticking.
Can anyone recommend a good place for recon or new.
Also I’m guessing my discs will be 325mm?

Thanks in advance.

Standard brakes on the 3.0 are 300mm, I'd use this as an excuse to upgrade to the 325mm setup from an E36 330/330d...

Hi
Sorry for the late reply let me just measure my discs as I’ve got a sneaky feeling they are more than 300mm.
Thanks

The 3.0i will be 300mm unless yours is a 3.0si? Or a previous owner upgraded it? Either way it’ll only be 300mm or 325mm :)
