What brakes should my 328i m sport come with?

Just purchased a 2014 328i m sport with 50k miles . Noticed it does not come with the grey brembo up front? What brakes should my car come with . My vin is
Wba3c1c55ek111900.

I had a 2012 bmw sport line before this and it had the brembo grey calipers up front.

I plugged the last seven digits of your VIN into mdecoder website to list build codes. See photo for partial list. P337A at the top should indicate type of brakes that you have, only I don't know specifically for the 328.

On a 335, it means grey 4-piston Brembo on front over 340mm x 30mm rotors and grey Bosch 1-piston on rear over 330mm x 20mm rotors. But P337A could mean something different on a 328. Check on the Turner Motorsports website. They have two separate write-ups on all the brake combinations for the two platforms. It will be spelled out there. Do a bunch of searches on that Turner site. Not always easy to locate on their website but definitely on there.

Hope this helps!

For upgraded brakes on the 328 you'll need package S2NHA. P337A for the 328 means M Sport TRIM. More info here: https://www.turnermotorsport.com/t-b...ke-Differences

Turner Motorsports has the best summary of F30 brake options. See attached photo.

P337A for 328i has larger rotors and a more aggressive brake pad. They use the same calipers as the regular 328i. This is standard equipment for USA-based M sport 328i.

If you have seen larger calipers on a M sport 328i, they either retrofitted it or they have the optional M sport brake package which are blue Brembos.
