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.

Turner Motorsport has made it easier than ever to get the high-quality upgrade components you need for your next brake service—all in a single, convenient kit. Our performance brake service kit includes premium ECS rotors, ECS EP24 "Enthusiast Performance pads, a wear sensor, assembly grease, and a full set of rotor set screws, ensuring a seamless upgrade process. Expertly assembled for perfect compatibility, this kit is designed to keep your braking system performing at its best.

Kit Includes:

ECS 2-Piece Semi-Floating Cross-Drilled & Slotted Rotors (Front) ECS EP24 "Enthusiast Performance" Brake Pads URO Pad Wear Sensor ECS Stainless Steel Rotor Set Screws AGS Brake Lubricant Compound Packet Upgrade your braking performance with precision-engineered components!

The ultimate upgrade when it comes to improving stopping power!

Complete with stunning, British-engineered six-piston calipers and all the hardware you need to completely replace all equivalent components of the front axle of your vehicle’s stock braking system, these complete kits give a firmer and more responsive brake pedal feel and allow you to drive much longer without the onset of brake fade.

EBC Racing Brake Kits come with fully‐floating 2‐piece rotors as standard. These rotors allow the cast iron rotor ring to float independently of the hub, preventing disc cracking and leading to reliable performance even when subjected to the most demanding driving conditions.

This kit comes with everything you need in the box and a detailed vehicle-specific installation pack, including race-spec brake fluid for the final system bleed.

Key Features:

Apollo-Series 6-Piston Calipers

Two-piece bolted design that incorporates high-tensile 12.9-grade steel bolts for reinforcement of the caliper bridge section (computer FEA analysis shows that this offers significant improvements in caliper stiffness compared to a monobloc design) Machined from heat-treated low-pressure castings (this offers a noticeable performance advantage over conventional gravity cast calipers, exhibiting higher overall strength and a comparable caliper body stiffness to forging) High-temperature fluid seals coupled with full boot-type dust seals give maximum protection against road grime and debris Lightweight, hard-anodized aluminium staggered pistons with serrated/castellated piston noses that reduce heat transfer into the braking hydraulics Every single brake caliper pressure tested to 2,500psi Uses standard pad shapes, giving choice when selecting brake pads Fully-Floating Two-Piece Discs

Fully-floating 355x32mm two-piece discs that allow the outer ring to expand freely in response to heat (this reduces stress which in turn extends disc life and reduces the tendency for disc cracking during extreme use) Drive bobbins machined from a single piece of stainless steel giving maximum strength and corrosion resistance (this reduces maintenance requirements and ensures the outer ring continues to float freely over time) Disc rings feature 48 directional internal curved vanes for improved cooling Unique ‘Swept Groove’ slot design for effective evacuation of braking dust and gases whilst ensuring good initial bite on brake application Now featuring the latest thermic black corrosion-resistant finish – the very latest in rust prevention Bluestuff™ NDX Performance Brake Pads

Now road legal in most markets, Bluestuff™ NDX combines excellent cold bite with the capability to perform well in short spells of track/race conditions Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines

Every hose has a stainless-steel braided exterior that prevents a phenomenon known as ‘ballooning’, this braided exterior prevents the spongey feel of OE rubber lines and provides greater precision and feel under braking Super DOT 4 Brake Fluid

Every kit is supplied with 1 litre of BF307+ super DOT 4 brake fluid. This fluid has a 310°C boiling point – a significantly higher boiling point than standard DOT 5.1 fluid Having such a high boiling point gives the braking system exceptional endurance, allowing you to push hard for extended periods without heat soak causing the fluid to boil and resulting in fade
