2012 F10 535i brake upgrade
Looking for some help from you F10 gurus. As stated above, I have a 2012 F10 535i w/Msport trim. I am coming up on a brake job and want to upgrade to the performance brakes (ie: Stoptech, Brembo etc.) What I would like some help with is if anyone out there has done this conversion? What kit did they use? Where did they purchase? Did you do both front and rear at the same time? It is my understanding in asking the parts guy at BMW, that since I have the Msport trim, the wheels would not be an issue with the Dinan kit. My apprehension is the enormous price tag for that kit and its only the front set. If anyone has a link to a DIY that would help also. I am just doing the leg work on this so I can take the leap, but there really is not that much info out there that I can find. Thanks in advance!

It isn't a boring subject, you're just asking too many questions in one paragraph and realistically you don't need a big brake kit anyway. The stock brakes are perfectly up to the task of stopping a stock or modified 535i. Put some sticky non-RFT tires on the car and you'll really drop anchor.
F10 kits are front only because the parking brake actuator is integrated into the rear caliper. The only way around this would be to use M5 rear rotors and calipers with adapter brackets. |
