The sunroof is a tad annoying. How do you find the Brembos compared to the original brakes? Have you tried 17s over them?

They are brakes, and work. I'm totally happy with their performance, but I wasn't unhappy with the original brakes either.

No, but I think it's very unlikely they'd fit. The 348mm standard brakes are tight with 17"s, and these 340mm ones have much bigger calipers, so unlikely.

Thanks for the quick answer. I’m happy with my 348 brakes and run 17s in winter so will probably stick standard.

Just to go back to that exploded bulb.. I had the same happen to my E89.. I had to try and fish bits of glass out of the tail light housing through the bulb hole.

Spotted this frame in a video showing a 17" E46 wheel over an M135i with the 340mm brakes so... maybe it would after all?

Thanks, I’ve got a set to have a play with.
