Will a Brembo or Stoptech front caliper fit my M4rotor?

I have the normal BMW M4 brakes in dark blue. I believe the rotors are 380x24,
with very small looking calipers. Does anyone know if Brembo makes an off the shelf large front 6 pistton caliper that will work with my steel 380mm rotor (plug and play)?
Thank you
Mario

Hello Mario,

Unfortunately the BBK calipers you've seen will not fit, as there are many variances between the OE hardware and the performance upgraded hardware:

Caliper piston sizing

Mounting style (axial mount vs radial mount)

Disc thickness



You can, however, replace the front brake kit only, and go with a front big brake kit to improve both the look of the brakes, and their thermal capacity.

Would you need to redial brake bias if you do this?

Yes, which isn't a realistic proposition unless you're willing to install an in-line bias adjuster and re-engineer the braking system most of the way.

Id just really like to buy the gold 6 piston calipers with normal disks and throw them on... Theres a kit out there for the previous M3... someone should make it for the F80 and take my money...
