Hey, I have a 1986 BMW E30 316i with a Toyota 3sge beams engine and am looking to upgrade my stock brakes. I dont want to go crazy so performance brakes are not really an option I was wondering if anyone had done such a swap and if they could share some wisdom. I was thinking e36 brakes, but also not sure if they would fit.

Thanks in advance!showbox speed test

Talk to DanThe, he does about the best brake setup you can get under the 15" wheel.

See links if you are on facefook

These fit under original 15" BBS, very close, a 5mm spacer is recommend which can also be supplied

You can fit a Wilwood kit under a standard 15inch BBS wheel. I've recently fitted a set of Hispec 6 pot calipers and 295mm rotors under my 15inch TD1.2 race wheels.
