I recently flashed my 535i with BM3! It is freaking awesome, a whole new beast! But the brakes feel so weak right now. The original pads that came with the car have lasted me 72k miles and maybe another 5 -10k. If I have to get the set up you have with 20 inch wheels. What would you recommend and where to find it? Please let me know should I just get the zimmerman rotors? I never worked on the brakes and probably will take it to a shop. Just don't want to get ripped off.

If anyone is interested in buying my brake setup I am thinking of selling the complete package, putting the car back to stock and selling it. Included would be front X6M brembo calipers, mounting hardware, ceramic pads, rear 550i calipers, ceramic pads and one piece steel rotors front and rear. The calipers were completely sandblasted rebuilt and repainted prior to install. The whole setup has less than 150 miles on it. The brake were painted burnt copper and clearcoated with PPG clear.

E60 M5 also has 374x36 BUT the center is bigger and overall pad contact area is smaller on them as compared to the ALPINA/760 calipers. Though, not sure if the caliper is a direct fit from E60 M5.. |

how did you get the x5m rotors to sit on the hub given they are 74mm vs the f10 72.56mm bore? also I want to buy a set of those spacers to do x6m rotors and calipers on my F02 ![]() |

I'm glad to see there's some traction here for this mod from others! Regarding your query, I believe that DARKN1GHT kept the F10 rotor (or maybe upgraded to the 550/750/760 rotors that bolt on directly) and just used the X6M calipers. I don't think he retrofitted the X6M rotor onto his car.

Sorry guys sold the car and the brakes. I will post part numbers when i get a chance. I used x6m front rotors,pads and calipers. Brake lines are stock and bolt up to the caliper. Only thing needed for fitment is custom 4mm spacers to offset the caliper outward and longer bolts due to the spacer.

I've had some PMs with DARKKN1GHT, so I thought I'd post some of his responses here so that all could chime in with their thoughts. This X6M brake mod is something I'm seriously considering doing, so I want to be absolute sure that I have all the info before I start buying expensive parts! The following are comments from DARKKN1GHT:
F10 will accept front x6m rotors without issues, the hub bore will not matter as that is integral to the hub of the car and the rotor bore hole is the same across all BMW models. The caliper also mounts like factory but it doesn't center over the rotor like OEM due to the x6m having a different knuckle. The spacer is meant to push the caliper away from the knuckle and center it. It is a 4mm spacer from my research, measuring and trial. Ive had the car up to 130mph plus. The bolts are just longer ones than stock due to the spacer which now takes up space between the mounting surface. The bolts I used were from the front subframe due to them being the same design, rating, but they are too long stock so you will need to trim them. I used E71 rotors but the F86 is interchangeable as well. My reason was due to cost, as the drilled 2 piece are expensive. E71 guys frequently upgrade their rotors to the new ones so that's how I know it all fits. |
