Bimmerworld M3 setup

[Philly]

thanks for the info jess... im glad I didn't try to make them work only to find out I would have clearance issues. I thought about that the other day and thought to myself, "No, ive seen alot of M3's rocking style5's.. can't be an issue."
Oh well, not a big deal, just another PITA!

Also sucks on the logo... went out tonight and bought a can of caliper paint in red for the calipers and another entire can in black just for the 2 little M-logos.
Does this mean I need new wheels? lol

Oh well, they still look massive in there! Can't wait to get em' on, I still have UUC ss lines to put on as well

Yeah, it's really not a big deal, just shave a couple mm's off the nubs with a grinder and you'll be fine. It's a bummer the style 5 barrels cover up the ///M logo, but the cool thing is that the rotors fill the entire wheel center and look massive behind the mesh.

Is anyone running 16" style 42 with M3 front brakes ?

16" style 42 wheels do not fit M3 front brakes

Anybody know if there's any advantage to the M3 spindles/hubs over the TI parts?

I'm going to be upgrading brakes either way to a wilwood setup for my rally car. Nobody makes what I need (big brakes under a 15" wheel), so I'll be making adapters to go from the spindle to the calipers. I was thinking that with the different caliper spacing on the M vs. non-M, I need to make a decision on which spindles/hubs I go with.

Thanks,

Dave
