135/BMW Performance brakes for your E36 and E46! This kit uses the factory BMW Performance Brembo 6-piston calipers (same as 135i) with E46 330-sized rotors (325x25mm / 12.8") for a bolt on braking upgrade. Everything comes complete - 6-piston calipers, rotors, custom caliper bracket, brake lines, and a pad sensor. Choose your preferred brake fluid and brake pads below (or call us for a recommendation).

Brake rotor options -

  • OEM Pagid Coated - blank rotors with anti-corrosion coating
  • Turner/Centric cross-drilled
  • Turner/Centric slotted
  • Turner/Cetnric cross-drilled & slotted
  • BMW Peformance floating and cross-drilled
  • ECS 2-piece floating with cross-drilled and slotted

Brake pad options -

  • OEM Textar (same as stock 135i)
  • Centric Posi-Quiet - nearly dust-free (Turner preferred!)
  • Hawk Ceramic nearly dust-free
  • Hawk HPS performance
  • StopTech performance

This is a direct fit to all E36 and E46 (not E46 M3) and comes with a lot more braking power than standard (especially on non-M E36). Consequently there will be more front brake bias - the front brakes have more bite than before. During normal street driving all you will notice is that the brakes feel stronger. For track driving we recommend a more aggressive rear pad to balance the brake bias or a StopTech or Brembo big brake kit that has been properly engineered for the chassis (not a retrofit).

Requires 17" wheels and wheel spacers may be required depending on wheel spoke design. E46 Style 68 wheels shown are used with 5mm spacer.

Hawk DTC-30 brake pads fill a spot between the entry-level HP Plus pads and an all-out race pad like the Hawk Blue or Pagid Orange. If you started out with HP Plus but feel like you are ready to advance to a more aggressive pad these are an excellent choice. The DTC-30 pads have greater torque output than an HP Plus and a very consistent torque curve which makes them more capable during hard track use than an HP Plus. These are intended for advanced users but should not be considered all-out race pads (unless used to balance brake bias).
