if I have the 286mm x 22mm vented disks, will the E46 brake calipers still work on my car or would I have to get a whole different set of carriers off an E36?
I just checked and according to realoem the E46 325i brake rotors are 300mm x 22mm. That means the carriers you have are spaced out too far and will not work properly with the 286mm rotors. What you should have gotten was an E36 setup or maybe the E46 323i seytup to use those rotors.
The calipers are all the same, all E46 and E36 22mm calipers are the same until you get into the M stuff, it is the carriers that vary the posistion to work with the different diameter rotors.
Either send back or sell the 286's and get some 300s or your going to have to change carrriers.
sorry,
Dave

The E46 carrier and callipers will bolt right up no problem.
