My Z4 28i

Oh! I like that. I've seen similar spoilers to that with the notch in the middle and always thought they'd not look good vs ones that are a continuous curve across and actually, I think this is better. Nice work.

These are huge in the flesh! Pads must be twice the size of the standard brakes, I cannot wait to get these on!

Fantastic mod Steve. I would love to do this upgrade. Do you have any part numbers or list of parts required. I guess I have the 330mm front discs as per 28i. Any info greatly received pal.

Yes you’ll have the 330mm discs. These are 340mm so not a big difference but the calipers look great!

I’m away at the moment but once I’m home I’ll dig out the part numbers :thumbsup: For ease though these are straight from any of these cars...

Any F series with upgraded M SPORT brakes (could be a 120d for example with the upgrade)
Standard fit on an M135i / M235i

You’ll need the following

Disc
Caliper
Pads
Pins and Clips (these should come with the calipers)
Brakes fluid


They’re a direct bolt on fit.

I love them :thumbsup:
 
Just be aware that the M Performance upgrade is a 370mm disc I believe and the calipers are different. Still a direct bolt on mod but if you’re buying calipers separately on eBay just make sure they’re correct as so many are mis advertised!
 
Nice one Steve,
Thanks for the info and speedy response Steve. I will look into it see what I can find. :thumbsup:
 
I really like the way that spoiler looks... I may have to acquire one.. :roll: Where did you get it from Steve, if you don't mind my asking?

It’s from eBay :thumbsup: they have them in a uk warehouse so was delivered within 3 days of ordering. Very impressed, fits perfectly, it looks great if I do say so myself!
 
I was always under the impression that the hubs on the 35i and 35is were different to the rest of the E89 range, so am I wrong on that or do you need a caliper bracket to mount those calipers on the 35’s..?

Anyone know? :?

I know someone else with a 35i what has fitted them directly with no issues :thumbsup:

Yep Ive seen them on a 35i, so the hubs must be the same as the rest of the E89 range but just use a smaller caliper with the same bolt centres. Unless there is a bracket but I’ve not seen any and I would think the hubs on the M car would be fairly beefy.

Very nice upgrade, the calipers are a bit weedy looking standard. :thumbsup:


Any light shed on the turbo issue?
 
[ref]SteveSmith[/ref], I do think the rear of the E89 needs a little something... but do you think a black spoiler would work on Valencia Orange? :scratchhead:

Yes! Massive failure of plastic boost pipe below wastegate coming from the intercooler!! Booked in to bmw on Thursday, should be a quick easy fix.
