The performance kit on the E46M3 has 345mm rotors. If it can fit on an M Coupe, it'll be a lot cheaper than a BBK.
Thanks.

It doenst fit, but it sure would be cool if someone could make that willwood caliper and E46M3 rotor setup work again.

Thanks. | You don't want it anyway. It's the same old standard BMW caliper: heavy cast iron with one big sliding piston. You want lightweight aluminum 4 piston calipers that are matched to bigger rotors held by aluminum centers. You'll save almost 20 lbs with this set up and where it counts: unsprung weight. Forget Brembo, they're off the chart pricewise. Look at Wilwood, AP, StopTech, UUC. I swear, BMW doesn't get it. Even the new M5 V-10 has the same old cast iron corporate monsters.

The StopTech's work in conjunction with the factory rears.

The StopTech are on my wish list, I was jealous of the white coupe's calipers and rotors when I saw them.

E46 M3 brake kit will work if you custom make a bracket. You can make any brakes/calipers fit any car even if its not for the correct application, you just need to make a custom bracket.
