My Ride: BMW E-60 530I

I did that with my Volvo - used a 14 rotor with brembo F50 calipers with custom CNC made brackets and the braking was superb.

I wanna do the same with the M5 brakes, use the stock rotor but use Porsche cayenne or AMG 8 piston calipers - unfortunately the person I used, an 89 years old engineer, has retired from work . :thumbsdown: thumbsdown

My plan:

Buy a used e60 spindle
buy Cayenne 8 piston or AMG 8 piston Caliper
M5 rotor
and have a machine shop fabricate a T6061 aluminum bracket.

The only thing, i need to find someone who can do that - if you guys know anyone, please do let me know.

Thanks in advance.

here is a picture of my volvo



I miss her
