hi guys i wanna upgrade my brakes, well for looks only.
I know m5 brakes are bolt on but the replacement cost is extremely high. Has anyone upgraded their 530i brakes to 545i brakes? i know the front and the rear rotors are bigger compared to 530i

You need calipers/carriers/rotors. Others no need. You can also change to Stainless Steel Brake Lines if like. Front and rear in same case.

Sachal its really not a hard job to tackle, I would say less then 4 hours if you took your time. And cost wise yes they are a lot better compared to M5 setup.
