BMW Brakes & Brake Parts for BMW E36 (1992-1998) M3

Turner has developed a proprietary zinc-nickel coating finish with nearly twice the salt-spray corrosion resistance of a standard plating. Turner SS brake lines also feature new low profile connecting hardware, for a cleaner mounted look. Get the brake lines that will continue to look as good as they feel!

-Fully compliant with DOT Standards (MVSS-1006) -Lines burst-tested to 3000psi (maximum tested pressure from a BMW braking system is 1200psi) -Zinc-Nickel coating for maximum corrosion resistance -Low profile connectors for clean and recessed look

E46 M3 CSL brakes fit the E36 M3 for a bolt-on size enhancement and more stopping power. The CSL rotors are a full 30mm (1.18") larger than the stock E36 M3 discs. The larger rotor puts out more braking torque and can handle more friction and heat than stock. With the special brackets these larger rotors are able to bolt-on to the E36 M3 hub using your original calipers and lines. Simply bolt them on using the new caliper bracket. The E36 M3 CSL upgrade is a moderate upgrade over stock compared to a StopTech or Brembo Big Brake Kit but has lower upfront cost, lower consumable cost (pads and rotors), and has a wide range of pad choices (any brake pad for an E36 M3 or E46 M3 will work).

We offer these brakes with three rotor choices -

• Stoptech (Centric) CSL/ZCP Cross-Drilled and Floating
• Original M3 CSL/ZCP Cross-Drilled and Floating
• ECS 2-piece Cross Drilled and Slotted Floating (pictured)

With more braking torque, the brake bias is changed. For the street, you will notice more stopping power and more "bite" from the front brakes. You may not notice the front brakes are working harder. If you're using this kit on the track it will be more important to balance the brake bias using different front-rear pad compounds. The front brakes will be doing more work than before to slow the car down and you will need to balance that with a more aggressive pad on the rear. You may notice the front tires locking up sooner, especially in wet conditions. Contact us to discuss track pads for your situation.

Wheel fitment: 18" wheels are strongly recommended for brake clearance although some 17" wheels will work (if they clear a BBK they will work with these)

Whether you are looking to replace your E36 M3's worn out stock components or simply upgrade your existing braking system for a more aggressive and responsive feel, this kit has been hand pick by us to suit your needs. Featuring Hawk HPS 5.0 performance brake pads for increased bite and better heat resistance, these pads offer significantly improved braking power and less dust, compared to the stock brake pads, without compromising the ABS system and without the harshness typically associated with performance style pads.

Kit Components:

• Front and Rear Pagid Premium Coated Rotors
• Front and Rear Hawk HPS 5.0 Street Sport Brake Pads
• Front and Rear Brake Rotor Set Screws
• TYP 200 Brake Fluid - 1 Liter
• Front and Rear Brake Sensors
• ATE Plastilube Anti-Squeal Compound

In some cases, we offer performance alternatives to the OEM items. For an enthusiastic BMW owner, the standard BMW part may be inadequate and we offer an upgraded part, based on our 20 years of BMW tuning experience. We seek out high-quality suppliers and designs that we would want on our own vehicles. Many times performance parts will fix a design flaw with the original BMW part, improving your performance at the same time. 

This kit fits the following BMWs:
1995-1999 E36 BMW M3

The latest in the Yellow line takes all of the RSL29 characteristics and adds a bit more aggressive behavior. Friction levels go up for more initial bite and better fade resistance. Modulation and release stays close to RSL29 levels. Pad and rotor wear is a little more than on the previous Yellows but still within reasonable levels and the RSL1 is still considered an extended endurance pad. Its development stemming from GT classes at Le Mans and Nürburgring.

Since Pagid pads tend to "out-gas" we recommend using these pads with a new gas-slotted or cross-drilled rotor for the best performance. Pagid brake pads are not compatible with previously used rotors, especially if used with a carbon or Kevlar based race pad.
