Yep Phil/Graham will fit those quick time !

www.bmminiparts.com never lets me down on parts ! BMW dealer is up at £795.................

x2 338mm x 26mm Front Cross Drilled and Slotted Solid Brake Discs
x2 BMW Performance Brembo 6 Pot Front Callipers
x2 Front Mounting Brackets
One set of Brembo Front Brake Pads

We need to get the Frits Mounting Brackets or make our own and modify the control arm slightly. So its not plug and play...but no serious concerns here either.

I am also thinking I am definitely going to Belgium at some point soon, so might as well get Frits to do the Brakes while I get the Tiaguano full detail including leather !

My problem is I am thus far only 70:30 in favour of this setup (Our 345mmX32 vs these 338mmX26). If I consider it with the assumption that they are better than stock but not as good as lets say the StopTech et al 355mm or bigger kits....then I am slightly more comfortable with them.

But then I got Frits, speed demon, melts stock brakes in 15 miles, sideways man, got a supercharged E30 M3 for the Ring saying : they are good on my M5, no fade in 10,000 abusive KM +

Maybe I ll try them with uprated pads too ! Who has heard of Pagid 4-2-1 ?

Oh man...any UK owners want a pair of brand new (0 miles) front discs, but fitted to my car ?

I don't have a supercharged E30 M3, that's Thordur (Blue Thunder), I just got a NA E36 M3 for the Ring. Which will be on a drift training next Sunday

If you come to Belgium anyway, let's meet up at my place, and I'll take you for one of those famous abusive joyrides, and you'll get to feel what the brakes are up to...

I'd try the brakes with the stock pads first. If you have issues with those, then you can always look at other options. If you don't track it, the stock pads will be more than enough.
