    Brake Caliper Stuck ON! Have a 2003 330xi 6 Speed Manual, bought it as a cheap project and fixed it up. Currently finishing a pretty big brake line job that turned into a complete rear end tune up. After driving it for the first time the rear brakes became stuck after the first press of the...

    Hey everyone! A quick question, because I wasn't able to figure this out myself: What is this little thing on the MC (in red circle). I see it being "plugged" on most reservoirs online, but on mine there is a pipe going from it to behind the firewall Thank you!

    So I have a set of F30 brake calipers sitting around. I noticed the calipers bolt on to the stock mounting points of the e46 at least the fronts. My question is will these work? Do I need new rotors has anyone done this? What issue could I run in to?

    I have a 2005 330ci zhp. I had just put a set of raybestos high carbon front rotors with carbon ceramic pads on about 11 months ago and they've already warped. Contacting raybestos doesn't work sadly so here I am already looking at buying new rotors and pads. As these raybestos have been such an...

    Hey guys! So I’ve managed to crack my front rotors on some touge runs and am up for new front rotors. I’m going to be putting new pads and braided brake lines in as well. Idid a little bit of research and I found that the front rotors on my 320CI are 300mm but I can’t find the rotors I want in...

    Hello all, I just bought a E46 M3 and i am planning to go trackdays with it. I know the stock brakes are bad for track, and the rotor and pads are worn out right now. I also have a 220D with M Sport brakes (340mm front 345mm rear) I heard someone swapping M4 brakes on M3 and like it. Also M...

    Hello guys. My front breaks locked up while I was driving, so front rotors/pads are dead, so I though I could upgrade them when I'm buying new ones. I have BMW e46 320i 1999 m52. Will 300mm rotors fit with stock brake calipers ? I think stock 320i have 286mm ones. Thanks for answering.

    Hi guys, so a bit of background info, I know what I’m doing with brakes I’ve got all the anti Rattle clips and shims, I’ve greased up my slider pins and everything is nice and tight no loose bolts. I started my front brake restore by getting some used calipers they were then sand blasted and...

    Hey, I have a brake problem, when driving on low speeds, brake pedal gets solid, and hardly brakes, on high speeds it is just fine? This happens when pressing the pedal hard, while pressing softly it brakes just fine. Anyone know where the problem lies? Brake booster or maybe vacuum pump?

    Good day all, I'm about to do a brake job on my '03 M3 Vert (stock brakes, not comp) and I figured it would be a good time to do a small brake upgrade. Originally, I was going to go with the 'CSL Upgrade Kit' but at $2k for what is essentially just a new comp rotor and a carrier for the STOCK...

    I have an 01 m3, my rear brakes are intermittently locking along with DSC pressure sensors 1 & 2 codes. Did some research and its seems like the code dosnt cause the problem im having. What could be causing them to stick if it isnt the pressure sensors? I attached a pic of my brake circuit...

    I have a 2000 328i and plan on doing the usual front 330i caliper/rotor/pads swap but will I need to swap the rears? From what I’m getting I’ll need to swap trailing arms and other stuff to keep the parking brake? Anyways If I just get new pads and rotors in the rear will I be good or will the...
