M-performance brakes on my Atlantis M3

Hello guys,

I own a beautiful Individual M3 e92 (see below). I want to go BBK. However Im from Czech rep. and we have some issues with currency right now, which means everything except OEM BMW part became 20-30% more expensive.

So what Im asking: can I put OEM BMW M-performance 370/4 front brakes on my M3 e92. I have seen some retrofits to non-M e9x.

I know the carriers will be different, which is not problem for me, however what about other stuff? Is this retrofit even possible?

Thx for response.

I'm sure it's possible for the calipers. As for the rotors, I don't know if the M Performance brake set up has different rotor hats. Meaning, your rotors may not line up with your new calipers even though you had someone CNC you a new caliper bracket. Might be worth looking into.

Correct. The shape of the rotor hats may be different. If you can find a way to make the calipers work with the existing OEM rotors, then you'll be in business - although I can't comment on how safe or efficient that will be.

Beautiful car my Czech friend! I cannot offer any useful info on your braking issue. However I can leave a wise ass remark like most do on this forum, so here ya go;
"I can see all the currency issues in your country by your mods, and everyone else's BMW's in that garage"
GL with your brakes. Again great color ///M.
