Upgrade the pads, lines and fluid.

why you call that frankbrake? if m4 rotors fits just like oem+m4 brake calipers+m4 brake pads, only need adapter for calipers?? many after market kit from what i saw comming also with brake adapter lol. then aftermarket brakes are also frankbrakes.
+ i all got for a few hundreds € |

Not all of us have the money to blow on a set of AP Racing brakes like you!
Using the brakes from the newer platform isn't going to affect bias in any significant way in this particular case. |

I already got new rotors and upgraded pads , new brake fluid bleeded .still e92 m3 calipers is for sure the weak point. You cannot go wrong with m4 brembo oem calipers ,at least that should be a upgraded over oem e92 m3 calipers. |

My skepticism is based on the fact that you are installing brakes from a completely different platform, possibly different bias, and different???, onto your car and calling it an upgrade. I'm not a brake engineer and I don't know if the two cars have the same brake bias. Hopefully you have researched that and any other potential issues. I'm thinking not based on your responses. An aftermarket BBK from a reputable company has been designed and tested to work with the car it is to be installed onto.
