Need to install line lock

R_lara · 07-30-2016, 06:22 PM

Can anybody point me in the right direction where to get a line lock Kit for my M3.

Thanks

Doubt there is one made for your M3. Just buy a generic line lock. Ideally one with M10x1.0 inlet and outlet but you may have to use adapters. I put one on my turbo 99M3 but do not have one on my 08M3 so I cant help with placement though it is fairly obvious. You find the line out of the master for the front brakes.

There is a Company that apparently went out of business called AR designs that used to make a kit that worked with the OEM single piston caliper on the E9x M3. I found a company called VAC Motor sports that used to sell it and the item is out of stock but they say they are developing a kit.

Looks much like the $45 biondo line lock I installed on my 99M3. But for the extra $350 VAC will supply 1/8 npt to m10x1.0 adapters and m3 specific instructions. VAC is using 2 and putting them in each front brake line, which may mean it is installed after the ABS rather than before it, assuming the master runs a single line to the abs that splits after the abs.

Do you get any abs lights do to rear wheels spinning and front standing still?

No.

I'm sure if they had a product that was complete and ready for purchase they would have made an announcement as they always do and it would be on their website.

But asking never hurt anything, so...
