Hey Guys whats up, just wondering if any of the big names in brakes make a big brake kit for the 5er? I was thinking of my next upgrade and i was thinking a nice big brake kit would be perfect.

Ive seel the brembo cross drilled rotors for sale but not the actual big brake kit.


Thanks for the input
Kris

Try StopTech.

If they don't have something off the shelf, they can definitely customize something for you.

Just did a search on Brembo's site, apparently, they have both front and rear kit for our cars. You might need 19" wheels to house those 14" rotors.

A less expensive route to take is to replace just the pads with ceramic pads. A friend of mine did this on his E90, and it eliminated his brake dust and improved the bite as well. His report is here:

I see Tire Rack listing the rear set of pads for the E60, but I don't see the pads for the fronts. Same company as in the link above, Hawk Performance.
