If thats the 4 pot ones, theres a chance they are a bolt on job for the E30 M3 (although it may be the 8 series ones, I cant remember which), then its some custom bell and rotors or E46 M3 discs and spacers between hub and disc.

For a standard E30, it will be some custom brackets to mount the calipers, but I have no idea about what disc could be used - I guess a custom bell and rotor setup again.

One thing to remember is that they may restrict wheel choice, because of the spacing from the back of the wheel to the face of the caliper.

its a standard e30, i just wondered if anyone uses them, i was hoping i may be able to use the standard discs but just use the larger caliper. probably not a brilliant idea mind you.

They'll not work with a standard 260mm disk or the 280mm M3 disk.
Neither will the E31(8series) or E34 M5 ones are thay are all the same size, just with slight differences in the mounting bolt spacing.

You need to go bigger, disks need to be at least 302mm diameter and no less than 28mm thick,with bespoke mounting brackets.
Disk offset AND wheel offset are absolutely critical,tyre width less sootherewise you will encounter problems

I managed to get a pair of these fitted under a 16" wheel when all the doubters on here said it couldn't be done.
It does require a fair amount of work,but it can be done
