I've got a WMS 4 pot front brake conversion on my 325i. They were very much the thing ten years ago but now seem to have sunk without trace (other than the bones of a website and an email address nobody replies to). I could do with some new discs but they're a custom machining of a 'G60' disc.

Has anyone else with this kit managed to get hold of replacements? I assume it's a case of sourcing the correct disc and then getting it machined to the same spec as the existing ones, but I'm not sure where to start. I'm guessing G60 is VW Corrado G60 but that it literally a guess. I did mention it to the chap at the BMW specialist I use, but when I said G60 he looked at me like I was from the moon, so I'm ruling out it being some sort of industry standard part instead of a specific fit for another car.

Also any clues as to what exact Wilwood caliper it is would be helpful, I'm fairly sure they're the Dynapro, but any confirmation would be great.

G60 refers to the VW they came from. Maybe your BMW Specialist needs to widen his knowledge base as they are very commonly used for these upgrades. All you need to do is have the centre machined to allow it to fit over the hub. A very very simple job for any machine shop if you give them one of the old discs.
