335i brakes on a 328xiT
Plug and play, yes? Ground thru a few pages of the F30 M brake swap on the susp/brake forum, and that doesn't look like the route I want to take.
Why the upgrade? Mountain roads. And I have 18s and 19s, so the stock 328 hardware looks a little ... undernourished? And, I'm due for a brake overhaul ( 140,000km) , and 335 bits are easily available. Feedback? |

i believe its just new rotors pads calipers and carriers. I am doing this upgrade at all. you can use 335i ones. doesn't have to be xi. everything should bolt up. got my calipers for about 200 for the full set shipped.

Yes 335i fronts are a direct swap for all E9x, so are F30 front brakes. Theres been lots of threads on this already.

Here's my thread on it.. Direct bolt on front and rear on the 328xit
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1268443 edit: I noticed you replied to that thread! I'm now about 8k miles into the swap with R1 Concepts Rotors (slotted, not drilled) and their ceramic pad and can say that they're pretty good. Really grabby brakes when cold/humid (rainy), but after a few stops they normalize. My crazy mind now wants the f30 brakes since they just look cooler! I drive a super twisty canyon road and farm roads every day and the upgrade is so much better than the old brakes. No more brake dust either Last edited by BurtMacklin; 10-16-2016 at 01:03 PM..
