6 Series Brake calipers on E86/86

[ollie_owen_84]

In the far distant future when I have a ever so slightly higher disposable income, I'd like to, at some point, have some massive looking callipers behind the front rims. I see you can get four pot Tar-Ox for about 1k, but not really seen much cheaper than than. Today I walked passed a 650, and noticed it's rather large anchors. So, as the title suggests, does anyone know if there is a 6 Series Brake carrier for the callipers to fit on a E86/86?
Would there be any other issues that would make it not worth while?

General opinions please.

The 5 or even 6 series brakes are suitably huge and wide.

Your stock wheels might not fit over them.

I'm sure you could fit them on but maybe with a custom bracket or spacer.

You may also need to cut the brake disc shield but that's normal when fitting bigger callipers.

See if you can pick up a spare set from ebay.
I did know of some m5 callipers for sale somewhere.

Might be worth speaking to Hack Engineering about a bracket though as above it would be custom sooo you're doing all the r&d (or paying or it)

They have dabbled in making the BMW performance calipers fit e36 & 46's below.

Or, speak to Machine Monkey and get him to whip you up some custom brackets!

What exactly is involved with front discs regarding forces etc. I converted the drum brakes that I was going to use on my westy to discs using a simple metal bracket. The hub set and drums were from a sierra. The bracket allowed me to use sierra rear callipers.
