325ix dics

will 325ix rear dics fit on a 325i

I would imagine you would need to get the 325ix calipers as well, due to the ix rear discs being vented rather than solid, so being thicker, it would all be a straight swop otherwise.

i am going to fit 4pot calipers to them i wanted to no if the dics go no

Ah OK, I've just checked the ETK, and the drive flanges between 325i and 325ix are different, quite what the differences are I'm not sure.

Thanks Simon.

IX has a different offset, so it will not fit! (unless you have the arms as well, you could get anal and say you only need the hub, but for simplicity we go for arms as a whole)

Player where did you get your K-macs from? Bexleys fitted it?

Do you know if it's more offset?

According to the ETK, it's only the Touring that has vents, but mine only lists LHD anyway

, so could be wrong.

Yes only touring! dude the hub sticks out more! so does that mean its a larger offset on the wheels? i get confused with offset all the time.

I would not bother really ive yet to fade the rears!

Possibly, the Z3M and M Coupe rear vented discs are a problem for me to use, I've been wandering around car parks sticking a tape measure through the rear wheels of BMWs with rear vents.

Have you spoke to Ian Godney? He's the man to talk to about all things brakes!
