e90 brakes on an e46?

[Jakg]

Quick question - would the calipers from an e90 fit on an e46?

[Jakg]

To advance that a bit, I have an MG ZT CDTI. It uses the same brake calipers + carriers + pads (not discs) from an e46 320d. The top model, the ZT 190, used larger brakes from an e46 330i. If you get new carriers, calipers, pads, hoses and discs its just bolt on.

I'm wondering if I could use e90 330i calipers on the ZT. If they would fit on an e46 then I can - but I dont know

No, I don't think E90 brakes would fit a ZT - there isn't enough in the wheel to accomodate bigger discs/calipers. Mate looked at buying my old E90 330d front calipers to go onto his ZT260 but alas, no-go

is it worth replacing bmw brakes with bmw brakes - imo (and owning a couple of bms) there are always the weakest point...

look elsewhere for replacements.
