Upgrading to Bigger Rotors/Calipers
Hi everyone, Just bought a 07 3.0si E70 and am going to upgrade to 22" wheels in a month or so. I came from an 07 530i full tricked out with 20" wheels, Stoptech BBK's, etc.
I hate the look of the stock rotors/calipers after upgrading to 22's... Other than the fact they look like booty, no matter the size. Can anyone recommend a good source to upgrade our caliper/pads/rotors (slotted or drilled, etc) WITHOUT HAVING TO GO THE BBK ROUTE AGAIN??? I dont feel like dropping $7k + again... Any recommendations or links/shops would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Ryan |

that would be a wasted for a 3.0i e70 with a brembo or stoptech big break kits. it would be better to get a set of used x5m x6m oem break and maybe paint them red after you get them. a whole set should not over 2K.

Buy the BMW OEM rotors (385mm) and caliphers (very Large) off a X5 M50d, bolts straight on, buy from a UK or European BMW dealer.

Yes I had the calipers painted, and I installed ceramic pads because I hate all that black dust also.
