Small Brake Kit for M2C ? OE /aftermarket

guardodoc · 11-17-2018, 11:31 AM

What would be the best way to run a small brake kit in order to run 18" wheels in the US ? Use OE Blue brake components off of the OG M2 or is there some other solution ?

I will never track my car and prefer 18" wheels for the extra rubber under the wheel on the So Cal roads. I've run 18" and 19" on my e92 and much prefer the 18s for my type of driving.

Sure. I'll swap mine out for yours. Rotors included.

If I were you I'd find someone with an OG M2 or F80/82 M3/4 and see if there's any interest in them trading plus cash to do a straight swap. Then use the cash to buy some beautiful 18" style 513m wheels and you're all set!

I think that's what I'll do
