Big Brake Kits

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.

Upgrade your BMW's braking performance with the ECS Big Brake Kit, designed to deliver enhanced stopping power and reduced brake fade. This comprehensive kit includes 6-piston calipers from the E82, E88, and the E9X BMW Performance big brake kit, along with original equipment pads for optimal braking efficiency. The package also incorporates 325x25 ECS 2-piece rotors, ECS caliper brackets, Exact Fit braided stainless reinforced brake lines, essential hardware, and one liter of Pentosin Super DOT4 Brake Fluid.

Key Benefits:

• Enhanced braking performance with reduced brake fade
• Includes 6-piston calipers and original equipment pads for improved efficiency
• Incorporates ECS 2-piece rotors and caliper brackets for better functionality
• Exact Fit braided stainless reinforced brake lines for durability
• Comprehensive hardware and Pentosin Super DOT4 Brake Fluid included

The ECS Big Brake Kit ensures that brake bias remains stable, making it suitable for various applications. For track use, consider pairing with a more aggressive rear pad. These calipers are compatible with most 17” wheels; however, please refer to the attached template for fitment verification. Additionally, follow the attached installation guide for replacing the OEM caliper carrier with the ECS caliper carrier.

As an E9X M3 owner, do you feel short-changed in the braking department? The next gen M3/M4 got serious Brembo calipers. With a special bracket the front 6-piston calipers can fit the E9X M3 for a bolt-on caliper and rotor upgrade. The rotors in this kit are 382x36mm - 22mm larger and 6mm thicker than the stock E9X rotor (and slightly bigger than the stock M3/M4 disc). The larger front rotors will help manage and dissipate heat better than the smaller stock rotors. And a larger rotor and caliper mean stronger brakes. Testing has shown the brake bias is very close to a stock E9X M3. Upgraded rear rotors are also included to work with the stock rear calipers. These are the blue M3/M4 calipers with the ///M logo.

Front brake specs:

• 382x36mm 2-piece floating rotors - 50% larger surface area and more cooling vanes
• 6-piston Brembo caliper (blue)
• Custom brake caliper bracket to fit the E9X M3 hub
• Multiple pad options
• Stainless brake lines

Rear brake specs:

• 350x24 2-piece floating rotors (same size as stock)
• re-use stock calipers
• Multiple pad options
• Stainless brake lines

Wheel fitment notes:

• 19" wheels required 
• Wheel spacers may also be required depending on wheel design
• Slight bending of front dust shields is requried

The stock E46 M3 brakes measure in at 328mm and use a 1-peice rotor. While these are great for road use and even some occasional track days, someone looking for the best track set up should look to change their brakes out to the E46 M3 CSL style brakes. With just the addition of a pair of caliper carriers and a new set of 345mm floating 2-piece rotors, you can substantially improve your braking performance.

E46 M3 CSL/Competition brake rotors offer a number of advantages over the stock rotors. First, they are larger, moving the friction surface further away from the center, creating more surface area. This helps to alleviate heat soak issues that would be found on smaller rotors. Second, they have built in cooling designs that allow the rotors to cool down quicker in between braking. Cross drilling allows for better cooling as well as better pad contact by allowing gasses and break dust to pass through and directional veining improves cooling by forcing through and directing the air flow to reduce temperatures.

This CSL rotor conversion kit can be used with factory wheel sizes of 18" and larger and any E46 M3 brake pad set can be used.
