Let me know if you have a pair for sale.

I would suggest you start looking on car-part.com. The way I found my set was to search for items unique to the F85/F86 and contact the recyclers that had those in stock about the calipers. Its hard to find them listed. Same for Ebay, never any listings.

You can also use the F10 M5 calipers, but then you need to purchase the adapter bracket from Tronik.

Thank you for the advice, that's a great idea.

If I have the MPBK, do I need anything other than the new calipers for parts / brackets, or would it be plug and play?

Assuming that you have SBRE coded already, it will be plug and play.

Out of curiosity, what is the difference between the ones you have now and the F85 calipers? Are your current ones 4 piston and the F85s 6 piston?

Exactly.

I want to upgrade the front caliper then sell my MPBK given I already upgraded the rear.

Got ya. How much you think you would ask for your MPBK?

Hmm really not sure! Depends on rotor life and whether I'd include them. At the moment I think they are in great shape so it may be a "MPBK Lite" for sale!
