Looking to enhance brakes and rotors(lowest dust brakes and best looking drill/slotted rotors). Not spending Brembo money...lol! Wanted to know if the 2008 550i MTech sport pkg has larger brakes than a smaller 5. Where would i look besides the caliper? thanks for all input

545/550 all have bigger rotors. R1Concept and Hawk HPS are a popular choice on this forum and reasonably priced.

thanks michael, are your hawks the absolute lowest dust brake you offer? I'll definitely grab the rotors soon

It's the lowest dust I offer that still has great stopping power.

Hawk HPS
Front - $100
Rear - $82

535/545/550 all have the same size rotors.

The 2008 ZSP sport package is just cosmetic stuff on top of the regular Sport package suspension improvements. The actual M Sport package (ZMP) came out in 2009. It includes the ZSP stuff as well as Anthracite headliner, M aluminum trim, M steering wheel, M door sills, M footrest, and M gearshift lever with the manual trans.
