Are our brakes the same as the m-perf on the F30?

RJVIII · 07-23-2015, 04:21 PM

Thinking about purchasing those calipers in red or yellow, but don't want to waste the money if its not compatible.

Thanks!

100% the same. Ordered the orange ones.

Where you able to source calipers only?

I ordered the complete set with discs for the F30 on leebmann24. Not installed yet cause delivery in september. I have the same set on my m135 at the moment. Compared the partsno. of the calipers: fronts are the same as F30, backs are the same as m135, but performance brakes for f30 and m135 are all the same so calipers are all the same. the pads are different, so put your original pads in the new calipers. Discs can be sold separately afterwards to an f20-f30 owner.

These are what I am considering for those that are curious.

Those gold/yellow calipers definitely look nice; especially when rolling. Why not just get the existing calipers painted though? Would probably be significantly cheaper.

I got quoted ~$900 to get them painted. Factor in another $900 to have them reverted to blue at some point and I'm out the same amount of money.

Right on then. Your reasoning is sound. Post up pics when you install the calipers. They're gonna look great.

Are these the same as the standard F80/F82 brake kit?

Zerouali · 08-04-2015, 04:42 AM

Calipers yes, discs no as far as I can tell.

$900 for powder coating? That's criminal.
