Is this as easy as the right adapters?? Just wondered why theres no comments on this post
Anything is possible, personally I'd like to see a bit more about what would be required.
"could fit" and "right bracket" is still a bit open-ended.

This is the sort of project that you need to either find a trail blazed by someone else to tell you all about it, or need to do a lot of research:
What diameter of disks do they come from, thickness, offset, etc. Are they then suitable for a Z4?
How compatible with the existing master cylinder stroke and bore?
What shape and size of carrier will you use and who will machine it up (or is it a common concversion done before).
Just a few for starters, but doable I'm sure if you have access to or engineering skills.

Cj all very good points which either make this a great steal or an expensive pile of steel..

The brakes are ally btw!
Its not a direct fit to any bmw king pin apart from the e38's (unlike 8 series brembo's that fit on a E36 M3 kingpin)
No company makes off the shelf brackets but bespoke brackets could be made similar to page 2 of this http://forum.performancebmwmag.com/viewtopic.php?t=9468&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=56k+warning&start=15
I don't have the skills to make them fit my Zed myself or money to get an engineering firm 2 do it, hence they are for sale

Just a pun.. Take no offence.
But I would love to have some brembo brakes but reading above could potentally be alot of work maybe too much

Oh couldn't get link to work.. Have to be a member
This actually could be interesting as calipers are approx £150 a side in refurbed state....
I will be running the 334 discs on mine these are 30mm wide, however I might actually buy the 355mm also to see what they are like also for reference purposes only really, I only have the 2.5si so don't really need a larger disc, but I fancied a little project.
I have picked up some cheap callipers and did a bargain as the threads were stripped that hold them on to the hub, so I will re thread these to a larger thread and thread the adaptor to suit. I then have a quote to fully refurbish and spray them from a brake specialist, so I will have 'new' callipers for a steal!!
At my company we manufacture almost all Elise components and supply Mercedes AMG formula 1 components so we are a dab hand with automotive parts so these wont be an issue, its as long as the brake servo can cope which is my next investigation.
I will update as I go along on another thread and post a link here.
