I have one question that may or may not impact us US owners as far as your research is concerned... Are you aware of any difference between the euro e36 323ti factory front brakes and the US factory 318ti front brakes? The earlier US models (95-97 I believe) came with a solid rotor, while the later years came with vented rotors, which means slightly different calipers. If there is a difference, how much impact could this have on your findings? I have followed your rear custom brake project and I look forward to the results! __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.
