E9X brake discs don't work on the Z4M - wrong offset - see this thread: viewtopic.php?t=144853&hilit=brakes+2023
These calipers do work with the OE Z4M Discs (which are identical to the E46 M3 CSL Discs).

You should be able to use your existing rubber grommets? I think they're split so you can get them off/on the hoses, if not a Stanley knife to split them and then pinch them back in the retaining clip and they won't come undone pretty certain that's how mine were

Hmmm... I've hit a snag...
Are you sure? I fitted new pads and had no issues with this?Meds wrote: ↑Sun Jan 07, 2024 4:22 pmHmmm... I've hit a snag...
The disc will not fit between pad gap. Bugger.
It fits between the caliper opening, but the pads (with pistons pushed far back as possible) close the opening by another 2mm or so.
The disc will not go..
My only way around this is to grind the pads down? (the pads are nearly new)
Does the disc rotate with the pads in?Meds wrote: ↑Sun Jan 07, 2024 8:27 pm OK.. if I really push, the caliper with pads go over the disc.. but with zero wriggle room.
It's like I need .5mm shaving off the pads.!
I've done this in the garage, off the car, I'm sure of I proceed with the actual install, they'll be rubbing away until the pads wear down.
How very odd.. and a real downer.
These brakes will be the end of me, I'm sure..
