will the e36 M3, carriers, rotors, pads fit the ti? Might get a good deal. I saw the 328 does not sure for the M3? | | | | | 03-28-2007, 10:32 PM | #64 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Florida Posts: 1,595 |
You need the hubs of an M3 to make it fit. | | | | | 03-28-2007, 10:35 PM | #65 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 |

Are the hubs required from an e36 328 for Ti? And are the hubs required from the E46 325/330i for the ti? Or is that just for the e36 m3? | | | | | 03-30-2007, 08:55 AM | #67 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: la jolla, ca Posts: 222 |
E36 front calipers are all the same size (minus M3 and Ti) so all you need is the calipers, caliper brackets and pads. Hubs are not required for the E46 325i/330i either. I pm'd you on bf.c about this  __________________

Dave | Quote: Originally Posted by 1996Bmw318TI ? | I think what Dave is saying is that you are wasting time and $ with 325 brakes if you are doing serious mods to your motor. It will cost maybe another $100 to get 330 brakes(I was quoted $120 for a used pair of 330 calipers.), a bargain if you don't mind the extra weight, and you will need them if you are running big power. You will need all the brakes you can get, and you're lucky the 330 option is available. Otherwise you'd have to spend ~$1k on an aftermarket kit. Of course, there is the issue of front/rear bias, but if you build a beast, your first problem will be stopping it. http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...d.php?t=531881 | | | | | 04-07-2007, 10:37 AM | #69 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 |

So do I understand correctly that my 1999 vented brakes are the same as the 325/8 vented brakes so there is no e36 upgrade except for M3? I would have to go e46 325 to get a larger rotor? Will e46 330 brakes fit a 16" wheel? There is a link to a great web page comparing all these otions but dang it all I can't find it!  __________________
