Delivery time ESTIMATE: 2-3 weeks
The Front Big Brake Kit for the BMW E46 M3 (EURO SPEC) 2001-2006 (PCD: 5x120) is a high-performance upgrade that enhances braking power, stability, and handling. It features larger rotors, multi-piston calipers, and high-performance pads for superior stopping power, reduced brake fade, and improved pedal feel. Designed for easy installation with direct fitment, it provides better heat dissipation and a more aggressive look. Ideal for track use or spirited driving, this kit is a significant upgrade over the stock system.
Brakepads: The kit comes with "Street" pads (for street use). For track use we recommend the "Race" pads, which are more resistant to heat.
Calipers: The performance calipers are manufactured from the highest quality solid aluminum. Despite of its lightweight construction, it provides extremely increased braking performance. In addition, the brake calipers are equipped with heavy-duty aluminum pistons combined with heat resistant seals.
Brake discs: The rotors features a two-piece design with a brake disc and a "hat". You can choose from two types of discs; drilled or grooved. Both types help to dissipate heat under the most extreme braking conditions.
