rear disc conversion sedan or touring?

[markus_74]

Hello,

Should I use touring rear disc brake? Or stay with sedan rear disc?

I'm in the process of buying the calipers and discs so I think the price more or less will be same.

Does calipers ate 33 is for sedan with solid discs and ate 35/10 for touring with vented discs?

I assume the rear arms are same.

So the different is only at calipers and discs? Or what else should I aware?

Thank you
Markus

Touring and saloon both use the same solid rear disc. The only difference in the rear brakes is that the touring uses a slightly larger piston in the caliper.
The difference is small, and as long as you use a matching pair, the choice doesn't really matter.

I see a rear vented disc what is it belong? Cabrio?

No E30s with vented rear discs. Nearest thing you will find with these is the Z3M, but those are 5 bolt discs, of course.

Thank you Brian. I sorted step by step all parts because I buy the part one by one.

My last question, I see that my drum brake use metal pipe to the master cylinder to push the pad, so if I will use discs brake I should connect it with additional hose(34321108134)?

Definitely need the extra flexible hose. Part # is 34 32 1 159 881. Don't recognise the part number you have.
