Brake swap: brakes from BMWs
Hi all,
Testing the plausibility of something here: given that the R60 comes in a 5x120 bolt pattern, is it possible to run OEM BMW or BMW upgrade brakes with the right size wheels to clear the calipers? I read something about requiring some spacers or something earlier, but am curious as to what would be possible.
I know the 135i brakes are OEM JCW now, but let's say I wanted to go bigger... That's the question I'm after. M3, X3, etc. Thoughts?

The bolt threads shouldn't matter, that's just a bolt and thread.
This is a good replacement from the factor bolts: http://www.apexraceparts.com/apex-pr...eel-Stud-Kits/

I think I missed something, here. Isn't he asking if a BMW caliper will fit over the Mini rotors, and behind the wheels. Essentially, will a BMW caliper bolt up on a Countryman's hub? That doesn't (shouldn't) have anything to do with the bolt spacing on the hub.
I'm asking because I was curious of the same thing, like could I used an M-series calipers on the Countryman, mainly for the looks of a 4/6pot brakes. Think one might be able to find them for way cheaper than for Willwood/Brembo, maybe even at a junk yard?
