Hi,
A search will provide a number of threads with various options... Here is one option that several of us have done: https://www.xbimmers.com/forums/show....php?t=1401599 Thanks, John

Thanks John. I have read through that thread and others but I am looking at a slightly different setup. Specifically I'm wondering if the calipers from an F15 X5M will fit on my non-M e70 X5.
This thread: https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1053648 shows the F15 calipers fit on an e70 X5M, but doesn't mention whether they will fit on a non-M. Thanks, Nick |

You're welcome. Yes - I run the F85 rotors and F15 F/R calipers on my 35d. You will only be able to use one set screw in the front so order 2 x 34111123072, these dont have a flange like the ones needed for the f15 rotors. Can't use the set screw in the back at all but it will be fine. Last edited by Deftronix; 04-01-2019 at 06:46 PM.. |

If not going used market it would most likely be a better value to get the F15 M performance brake kit (34112348054) which comes with F & R and all the other things you need like dust shields, expansion springs, pads, rear caliper carriers etc for $2.7K. The front F15 rotors and calipers (without hardware, pads, or dust shields) would be $2.4K alone.
What I did was bought the kit and flipped the rotors so I could offset the cost of some F85 rotors. Ended up spending 3.5k for F & R with F85 rotors, ECS SS brake lines and 2L Castrol SRF. |

Night & day difference. It stops extremely fast for a 5400lbs car. Can't tell how much of the improvement came from the brake kit compared to the SS lines since I did them at the same time. |
