Looks like a Brembo caliper.

Yes, he did:

Of course the next two questions are:

1) Will these fit the standard M3?
2) How much?

Checkcaptain · 09-19-2010, 09:47 AM

1) yes
2) depending on the source about 7-8k EUR

Is it a monobloc or a top-loader?

As for the pads, they're new to me. I have to say I find the words on the box a little odd. Are they trying to remind the pads how to behave when they go to work?

WHOA!!!!!! SICK!

I got that and it looks great.

But why photoshop ///M on a perfectly beautiful caliper? It definitely is photoshopped. Perspective is wrong. Lighting is wrong. GTS doesn't have ///M.

Enjoy the great stuff!!! I wish I could buy them here. Eventually I hope BMW performance brings them over here.

Checkcaptain · 09-19-2010, 03:28 PM

Sorry that I have to correct you, but GTS calipers have the M on it.
Your picture is from a pre series car - here is the actual one

I stand corrected. The decal is put on the caliper so badly that made me think it was photoshop.

7-8k for the brakes or front splitter?

aus · 09-20-2010, 01:02 AM

Is it more than Brembo's? Are they any different than the regular Brembo's?

From my understanding it was a 380mm Bremobo kit.

Ralf can you confirm that?

Checkcaptain · 09-20-2010, 01:41 PM

Hi Nate,

actually M uses Brembo BBK calipers with 378/380mm rotors from own development. They are much lighter.

rzm3 · 09-20-2010, 07:24 PM

From my understanding the front 378 mm was developed specifically for the GTS. The rear 380 mm is off the shelf.

aajami · 09-21-2010, 01:11 AM

The rears are larger than the fronts? Isn't that a bit odd?

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??"
