  • Price
    $1,550
  • Location Mentor, OH, 44060, USA
  • Condition Used
Description:

Listed as used, but these a fully refurbed, as the pictures would suggest. 

Facts:

  • The 135i brackets were modded to align the caliper correctly for use on the R53-R56 Series cars (4-lug cars) with no mods needed to your spindles. 
  • The coating is a 2-part ceramic urethane (high heat) paint with painted-on logos (same chemistry) wet-over-wet for a chemical bond.  
  • The rear JCW units have a custom vanity plate recessed into the caliper and epoxied on.
  • The steel brackets are sealed with epoxy primer and top-coated with a wrinkle coating
  • Stainless screws swapped in for the weights
Fitment Support:  (HINT:  You'll need about 2.5" between the back of the front spokes and the rotor face)
Notes / Recommendations:
  1. Ensure that your installer (if you're not a wrench) will install aftermarket parts.
  2. Dust shields may need trimmed or removed to fit the massive front binders.
  3. Accessory items such as lines, sensors, and fluids are not pictured or provided.
  4. Rotors are NOT included.  The correct geometry for the matching rotors should replicate the following:
    • Front = Centric P/N 12X.34160
    • Rear = Centric P/N: 12X.34113
  5. Pads are NOT included.  The correct pad shape for these calipers can be found using FMSI# :
    • Front = FMSI D1371
    • Rear = FMSI D1309
Shoot me a mail or pm with any questions that the above information will not answer.  Between the scarcity, the craftsmanship, and custom rear end, I personally think these are priced to move. If I'm wrong, we'll open it up to Ebay in a week or two.  (NAM folks get dibs).

Just confirming I am seeing it properly, that unpainted steel bracket on one of the photos of a front caliper is what bolts to the knuckle? Would it fit an R53 with 17" wheels?
These use a 12" rotor. Unless I am not remembering correctly I believe my JCW R53 has 294 mm or 11.6 inch rotors. So a 0.2 inch rotor radius increase.
Wow, they look great.

These are effectively GP2 brakes. They use a 13" / 330mm rotor in the front. There are only a few 17" wheels that fit over these without spacers.

Well said.

For the R53 guys here's some info on that: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ns-on-r53.html

To answer questions on the MC upgrade, it is indeed just that. An amenity (not a necessity). The piston area of the 6-pots are roughly the same as 1 or 4-pot units they are replacing, which is why the pedal feel has previously been confirmed as unchanged with the 6-pot caliper upgrade. (pi*r-squared)

Wow. What fantastic work!

I need these for my '06 dealer installed JCW that didn't get the brakes or suspension bits!

135i and GP2 calipers are not the same! They can be used, but they should be used correctly.

You just need to make sure you bleed from the top port. I doubled up on traditional bleed screws for this reason. The piston stagger is correct if you keep them on the same side when you go from trailing (BMW) to leading (Mini) orientation. The only difference at this point is the connection port is pointed down 45* instead of up.

Was the paint on these applied using a paint gun?

What would it take to install these on a 5 lug R61 Paceman JCW? Or not possible?

Thanks again Nik. That is correct. The R60/61 package I came up with has a number different geometric tweaks.

FYI - These are SOLD.
