Hey, I have a 1986 BMW E30 316i with a Toyota 3sge beams engine and am looking to upgrade my stock brakes. I dont want to go crazy so performance brakes are not really an option I was wondering if anyone had done such a swap and if they could share some wisdom. I was thinking e36 brakes, but also not sure if they would fit.
Thanks
Any brake recommendations that fit 15" wheels?

welcome buddy,
never heard of a 3sge swapped e30 before.
as for better brakes that fit under 15's then danthe on here (dan) may be able to help you as he does a big brake kit that fits under srandard 15" alloys, can't hurt to PM him.

Dan does some great kits wich use OEM parts. There are kits available from the likes of Wilwood and Hispec which I supply to lots of people. It's handy to know what wheel set up you will be running?

The kit I do is put together from new road car parts, so you dont get the rattles/squeals assosiated with some of the 4 pot race style kits, it also uses a much larger mass disc than many other E30 brake kits available therefore the performance is superior,
They fit under all OEM/factory 15" BBS wheels, there are 3 or 4 versions with slightly different dimensions, so you may want a 5mm spacer for a little extra clearance which I can also supply with the kits.
