E90 335i stock brakes for 320i PFL?

[macholoi]

Hi all,

Got my pre-owned E90 320i XL PFL abt a month ago. Looking to upgrade my stock brakes for a better safety performance. I dun track, just street driving.

Initially thinking of BBK but decided it may be overkill, hence looking at whether if 335i stock brakes will work on my 320i? Just fit without modification?

Anyone have advise where I can get them and estimated pricing?

Thanks in advance!

My current understanding is that it should fit, but need to make mod to the rear rotor to fit? My rims are 18"..

Front is a direct bolt on.

Rear need modifications being that the rotor housing is bigger.

Thanks bro, im just gonna change the front n rear will be stock
Hope there wont be any problem on the pedal feel...fear it will be softer pedal feel than stock now. Any experienced on this? I hope current master pump able to cope with the bigger caliper..

This upgrade seems to be very common, Im also a commoner and have been thru this.

Hi wt know,
e90/92 335 and e93 335 all use the same brakes correct?
i was contacted by a fellow bro saying he got a e93 stock brake set to let go, but his unsure if its gonna fit onto my e90 320 even if the rear hat is mod.
I see from past threads everybody asking for e90 or e92 335 brakes only. is there e93 335 locally in the first place?

you cannot reuse the 320 rotor for 333 caliper as the 320 rotor size is too small.
if you go with the 335, get the front+rear as a complete setup. you can either use the oem 335 rotors or rotora x-drilled/slotted rotors (more expensive). in term of brake pad, i suggest to use oem (perfect fit for caliper, no screeching sound, cheap and good, problem is heavy brake dust)

if you go with bmw performance brake, you can either get the front which is direct fit and leave the rear. else, you can also modify the rear to fit. the modification cost, i forgot how much already. the bmw performance front cost about $2.8k + rear should be $4k++

my advice
a. if go with 335, get a used set > cheaply > front & rear
b. if go with bmw performance, get front and rear as a complete set

To mod the 335 rear disc to fit a 320 is $450. We need to have the rear disc to be machined and requires a couple of days.
Labor to install all 4 brake disc and calipers including partial removal of rear disc plate is $200. We have to do bleeding and replacement of brake fluid for $70 using Motul dot5.1 brake fluid.

the following mods will cost $580 and is only before GST. We flush and bleed the entire braking system with Liqui Moly dot5.1 brake fluid. If you wish to proceed with the following job, I would need you to bring the rear brake disc to us like 3 days in advance to get it modified to fit your rear

Re: E90 335i stock brakes for 320i PFL?

Thanks Vansoh! So advisable to go for a set of 335 ie front n rear is it?
Or front only no problem? As i manage to get a front set only n didnt plan to do all the modification to fit the rear..

 

[Vansoh]

Re: E90 335i stock brakes for 320i PFL?

Its always best to change it as a full set.
Changing the front only is also acceptable, i reckon alot of bros here only changed the front.
BTW, I'm on stock brakes myself.

Cause after 1 big round, i relised that to be really fast and furious, you gotta forget about brakes.
Till now, my balls havent grown big enough to remove the calipers and rotors.
