Choose the model below, then tell us the original disc diameter and caliper if you can. Add the wheel size, width, offset and clear photographs behind the spokes. A factory option or previous brake change can alter the answer.
Brake buying check: Check the product’s chassis and year range against the car. M, M Performance and standard models can use different hubs, uprights and original brakes even where the body looks similar. Confirm whether the proposed kit is front or rear, and read the notes for electronic parking-brake or wear-sensor work where relevant. Use the maker’s caliper template against the actual wheel. A kit listing for an F-series BMW is not proof of fitment on another F-series chassis. Keep the complete vehicle and kit codes together.
Manufacturer application, clearance and fitting documents for the selected part number are the final references.
Brake work is safety critical. Use a suitably experienced installer and the current vehicle and component instructions. Do not drive the car until the system has been checked, bled and tested as those documents require.
