Looking for 1 series with M performance brakes

[whiskie]

Am looking to buy the M performance brakes. Not sure if my current 18's will clear them. Any bros that has these brakes installed able to let me fix one of my rims to your ride to test fitting? Thanks.

hi, yup, original BMW 18's will have no issue clearing. but the itchy backside of me changed to aftermarket rims without doing research.

Most aftermarket 18"rims cannot clear the M perf BBK. If on aftermarket rims, you need 19".

M perf bbk is only 4 pot. Definitely can clear 18". It jus depends on your rim design & offset. Using concave rims might not clear.

It's the rotor size at 370mm which makes most 18' rims hard to clear.

Yup. Previous VMRs unable to clear. calipers unable to clear inner rims.

Looks like OEM BMW rims are the way to go.
