Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced brake upgrade for 325i. I'm doing a 2.7 ETA conversion and wondered if 325i brakes are up to the job??

I am running standard brakes with both my 2.7 and my M50!

I have adapters so you can fit 312mm discs and E38 Brembo calipers or E34 540i / E32 750i calipers but you need to run 16" wheels and wheel spacers. WMS make a set of 4 pots that will fit under 15"

If you want to stick with standard 15" wheels then you need a kit from Keri.
