StopTech has a kit that will fit some 18's download their template cut it out on firm paper or board, take a wheel off and see if it fits!

Wilwood you might have to piece together, again you might need a template

Brembo you'll need 3g's plus 19's, template also

M5 kit you'll still need 19's or an 18's with great clearance, back to that template again lol

or what R1racer recommended with slotted/drilled zinc rotors with like a hawk, axis, greentstuff etc.. brake pads

other than BBKs, we carry replacement rotors that are OEM sized that are drilled and slotted. PM sent
Do they make cross drilled and slotted rotor replacements for 535i's that you know of Nerwyll?

Curious, as I've been thinking about this as well. Or just being an idiot and getting a BBK if I ever move up to 19's

Thanks

i think the m5 brakes will only fit 19" but could be wrong, probably the cheapest and best route to do the bbk...

Ill check on that for you man. it may be the same as the 06 530s because I know that the brake pads for the LCI 535s and 528s are the same as the 06-07 530. Ill just make sure and Ill PM you

I thought M5 rotors alone cost almost $800 for the pair.
