BMW Brakes & Brake Parts for BMW Z Series E85/6 (2003-2008)

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.

BMW E46 M3 & Z4 Front Brake Caliper - Right

Ensure optimal braking performance with the BMW E46 M3 & Z4 Front Brake Caliper - Right available at Turner Motorsport. Brake calipers are essential components that may require replacement at least once during your vehicle's lifespan. Exposed to harsh environmental conditions and subjected to constant use and heat, brake calipers are prone to wear and tear. Additionally, the brake fluid circulating inside them attracts moisture, leading to internal damage over time.

Benefits:

• Restores braking efficiency and responsiveness
• Ensures safe and reliable stopping power
• Enhances overall driving experience

Don't compromise on safety or performance. Replace your worn or damaged brake caliper with the BMW E46 M3 & Z4 Front Brake Caliper - Right today.

Is your BMW showing signs of grinding, pulsating, or reduced stopping power? It might be time to replace your rotors. Ensure optimal braking performance by checking and replacing worn components, including pads and calipers. Keep your braking system in prime condition for safe driving. Explore the Brake Pad Bedding DIY guide below for maximum efficiency from your pads and rotors.

Benefits:

• Improved braking performance
• Enhanced safety while driving
• Increased longevity of braking components

BMW E46 M3 and Z4 Front Brake Caliper - Left

Ensure optimal braking performance with the BMW E46 M3 and Z4 Front Brake Caliper - Left from Turner Motorsport. Brake calipers are subjected to extreme conditions and constant use, making replacement a necessity at least once during your vehicle's lifespan. Exposed to harsh elements and high temperatures, brake calipers can suffer from seizing, dragging, or sticking, leading to compromised safety and performance. Moisture can also infiltrate the brake fluid, causing internal damage over time.

Benefits:

• Restores braking efficiency and responsiveness
• Ensures safe and reliable stopping power
• Enhances overall driving experience

These pads were originally equipped on the Euro E46 M3 models and the US M3 ZCP, as well as Euro-spec M models from the 1990s. Owners of the E46 M3 will know that the stock pads are already quite 'aggressive' from the factory with a lot of initial bite. The initial bite was built into the pad to stop criticism of BMW's lack of 'performance' brakes. Instead of building the M models with exotic - and expensive - multi-piston calipers, BMW engineers turned up the braking power in their pads. These pads go a step further as the pads that originally came on the Euro E46 M3 and all E46 M3 ZCPs. For the street, these are excellent brake pads with excellent feel and performance. The only downside is the dust that comes from an organic pad. The problem with many aftermarket and OEM pads is that they do not match the same level of initial bite as the stock OE BMW pads. This can make the brakes feel 'weak' and 'numb' even though the pads are working properly. If you want to maintain your braking feel, these are the best to use.

Although these pads were originally designed for M cars, they fit other models as well, making them a great first-step upgrade for better braking.

Price is for one set of pads - enough to replace the pads on both front calipers.
