BMW Brakes & Brake Parts for BMW E46 M3 S54 (1999-2005)

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 fittings, 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

When replacing your worn out brakes, the market is flooded with performance options. If your BMW doesn't see track time, it's not very practical. Performance pads and rotors tend to result in a lack of bite at low braking temperatures and cause excessive noise in daily driven vehicles that becomes irritating. BMW brakes from the factory are perfectly suited for trips around town, across the country, and even the occasional spirited driving session, delivering smooth, quiet, and long lasting performance. 

Included in this E46 BMW brake package are all of the OEM equivalent components needed to replace your Rear brakes with comfort, reliability, and optimal lifespan in mind.

Brake components in this kit:

• Akebono Euro Rear Brake Pads
• Centric Rear Rotors
• New Rear Wear Sensors
• Brand New Stainless Steel Set Screws
• Syl-Glide Silicone Brake Lubricant 

Fits the following BMWs:
2001-2006 E46 BMW M3 (Non-CSL/Competition Package)

Whether you are looking to replace your E46 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 suite 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 OE BMW Rotors
• Front and Rear Brake Rotor Set Screws
• Front and Rear Hawk HPS 5.0 Street Sport Brake Pads
• 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:
2001-2006 E46 BMW M3 Competition Package 

PRESSURE BRAKE BLEEDER:

We know bleeding brake alone is not only no fun, but much more complicated than it needs to be. Having a pressure bleeder give you the ability to keep the pressure on the brake system while you go under and crack open the bleeder screws to relieve the air pockets.

Features:

• Holds a full 3-Liters (3.17 qts) of brake fluid
• Easy to read 0-30 lbs pressure gauge built into the tank top
• Pressure relief valve for safe release of pressure
• 40" hose with detachable swivel fitting

FLUID CATCH BOTTLE:

keep your fluid's off the floor and into our catch bottle.  The bottle has fluid level markings from 0.2L to 0.7 liter. This feature allows you to measure how much fluid you have sent thru the system.  Our bleeder bottle features an expandable/collapsible top portion for easier storage. Gasket in cap prevents leakage. Tubing is extra long at 24" from cap to nipple. Flexible hose can be pushed down into bottle for storage when done. Bottle now features a handy hanger bracket to hang bottle from bottom of car.

Note:

• Do not exceed 20 PSI
• LIFETIME REPLACEMENT

This caliper bushing kit will eliminate flex caused by weak rubber caliper bushings. As the brake pedal is pressed the caliper grabs the rotor and twists on its mounting bushings. The rubber bushings allow the caliper to deflect and twist which affects pedal feel and results in uneven pad wear. These solid brass bushings will not twist or deflect so your calipers can squeeze the pads evenly on both sides of the rotor (sort of like what multi-piston big brakes do). This will give you much longer pad life and a more consistent pedal feel. This is the most complete kit we have ever sold with stainless steel caliper slide bolts, o-rings, and new dust boots. Unlike other kits, these bushings are pressed into the caliper and will not shift or slide on their own.

Installation is straightforward: remove the old rubber bushings and press in the new brass bushings (we recommend special tool 003326ECS03). High temp caliper grease or anti-seize is required. The new bushings include an inner o-ring that helps trap grease on the slide bolt, reducing friction and wear.

For most models with floating calipers. Fits the rear of E90/2 and E60, but for the front you'll need the kit found here. Does not fit E30 models with Girling calipers, but is compatible with Ate calipers. 

Installs bushings straight and true with minimal effort. Includes tools for both iron and aluminum calipers. Purchase only one tool set for your entire caliper guide bushing upgrade - tools are not one time use.

ECS Tuning designed these caliper brackets to allow you to upgrade to CSL rotors without the pricetag of OEM part #34112282619, they are functionally the same part.

These will work with any 345x28mm E46 M3 rotor, and you do not need to upgrade from stock brake lines, calipers, or pads - they will all work with this bracket. Allows you to upgrade the size of your rotors!

This kit includes a carrier for the left and right side of your vehicle, allowing you to convert to ZCP/CSL rotors for half the price of the OEM carriers!

A high-performance street pad with much-improved braking performance and without the levels of dust from a factory pad. The Street 5.0 pads are perfect for drivers who don’t want an ordinary replacement pad and want something that will hold up during aggressive street driving. The Street 5.0 pads are similar to the established Hawk HPS pads but with more initial bite. While the HPS pads fill the need of a direct replacement OEM-type pad, the Street 5.0 kicks braking performance into the next gear. With the Street 5.0 pads you can expect:

• Better stopping power even when the pads are cold
• Good initial bite (more than on Hawk HPS)
• Excellent resistance to fade during street use
• Moderate dust during normal street driving
• Quiet operation
• Easy on rotors

Fits the following BMWs:
E32, E34, E36 M3, E46 M3, E39 528i 525i, Z3 M

These 2-piece floating rotors help dissipate heat better than a standard cast iron rotor and are also lighter for less unsprung weight. Managing heat in the brake system is vital to braking performance, especially on the track or when driven hard. It's why your brake rotors have internal vanes that vent heat as the rotor spins. These 2-piece ECS rotors feature an outer cast iron friction surface ring that is separate from the aluminum center hat. This allows better airflow through the vanes and for the friction ring can expand as it gets hot. The rotors are also cross-drilled for better ventilation and slotted to improve brake pad performance.

ECS 2-Piece Rotors feature:

• Aluminum hats for light weight
• Heat-treated cast iron friction rings
• 2-piece assembly improves brake cooling
• Anti-corrosion coating on non-friction surfaces and hard anodizing on rotor hat

These are the same size as the stock rotors so your stock caliper and mounting bracket will fit and there will be no clearance issues with your wheels or to other components. Stainless steel rotor retaining screws are included. You can use these with any brake pad.

Price is for the pair of brake rotors.

This item fits the following BMWs:
2001-2006 E46 BMW M3 with CSL or ZCP brakes
2006-2008 E85 E86 BMW Z4 M Coupe Z4 M Roadster
