So far ~400km the wear on the disc is even - on top side of the disc the lip/wear continues from the same spot that the original e92 m3 pads touched so ~1mm from top. On bottom side where the pad was cut they go over the disc little bit so no lip there anymore. With new pads i can use them as template to get correct size pads.
I used G11 7 series 2017 non m brakes. (not painted calipers)

The M brakes on 7 series are bigger (the two cylinders on front of the caliper have some room). This video is very informative but misses the non painted calipers, exactly the same but not painted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGf_I-4DXhE&t=137s |
Hey man I see you are pretty informed regarding these retrofitted calipers coming off a 740i.
I found some local calipers that came off a 2018 X3 that have the exact same numbers on the back of the caliper as the unpainted 740i calipers. I was wondering if you knew if they were the same caliper?
The blue painted set is from the 2018 X3
And the unpainted set is from 2018 740i
Thank you in advance.
