Will m3 calipers bolt up to standard 325i hubs?

Maybe run g60 discs and e30 m3 calipers

I Think the E30 M3 stuff was straight off an E28, so probably not a straight swap.

Mmmmm, for track use, I wouldn't. Myself and a group of friends spent a lot of time trying to get our e30 M3's to work well with the stock brakes on track. They just aren't up to the job, that solid iron caliper retains heat like an aga and everything gets cooked slowly but surely. I removed my fogs, installed piped backing plates, solid bushings, race pads, SRF, they were ok when they worked but ate through components constantly.

I would look at alternative options. In the end I fitted AP's, cheaper in the long run and utterly reliable and pretty indestructible. Never changed a disk yet (5+ years), no steering shake, no fade, pads last longer, I know they are not cheap but there's a reason why.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

from what i can see on bmwfans.info the m3 calipers only fit the m3.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
