Sounds good, it would be really interesting to see if the m3 calipers cover the 300mm rotors!

That actually gets me thinking . . . could the front m3 caliper also be fitted onto a different bracket to fit over front 300mm rotors from the e46?

The only reason to do this would be to be able to fit a smaller wheel over the brakes - which could be helpful to some people who have different regulations for their series/group/etc? ?

Imagine: 300mm vented rotors front and rear with e36 m3 calipers all around with wide 15" wheels and stick tires . Could be interesting, and useful to someone!

I know the 300mm rotors/e46 calipers will work with the correct offset 15" wheels but if the m3 caliper is bigger it might be tough. hmmmmmm...
