I have a Z4 search saved on Ebay and these popped up,in the listing it doesn't mention Z4 but don't E85's and E86's use the same brakes as an E46.
Not interested in them for me but thought i post for someone who maybe.Apologies if the brakes aren't compatible but i'm no expert :thumbsup:

This guy is a bit confused/misinformed I think, but z4 owners look away now.

The calipers are 4 pot brembos from and 840ci and will bolt straight onto an e36m3/evo but NOT the "lesser" e36s. If the discs are plain e46m3 then they will bolt straight onto the same car. Under 17 inch wheels. This I know because I have done it. You would need spacers on certain wheels too.

The front calipers are getting hard to find now so would fetch good money over on e36coupe.com (but not £1200!). It looks like he has only done half a job though (fitted new bolts and crossover pipe etc but are they torqued up properly?). Assuming the pistons are all good, why not pop them all out, clean them up and fit the seals with a smear of new fluid?

I have reason to believe that the calipers might bolt straight onto e46m3, but NOT "lesser" models. Not z4m as they run the CSL setup and NOT lesser models. The difference between the models is in the "spider hubs" (steering arms/stub axles) from m3 to non m3.

Wheel bearings are all the same.

If you snapped these up for a bargain price there is some good stuff that you could sell on though
