M3 Discs & Calipers fit E46 320d?

[Shamma44]

Does anyone know if the rear discs and calipers from an E46 M3 will fit a 320d?

[Neil.D]

Um, no.

I doubt they would even fit behind the wheel.

why would you want to upgrade the bake without upgrading the front.. due to the increased stopping power of the rears will make your car unstable under braking.

[Shamma44]

I'm selling my rears as I've upgraded to AP's all round. The fronts have already been sold. I assume this will be people who have already upgraded at the front.

Why?
Its a 320d comp car hack/most are. You dont need the stopping power of the M3 as you dont have the power or speed in the 320d.
Its a pricy upgrade given that you will have AP racing brakes upfront and then M3 at the rear sounds like it will be a very short stopping distance car - I wonder what you are trying to achieve? 5 meters less than std.
If so why not always carry a maximum of 1/2 a tank of fuel never fill beyond that that way your stopping distance decreases + lose the spare + hal fill screen wash + look into getting a small radiator fitted & remove the internal heater matrix all that waster weight in parts & coolant.

I suspect the OP owns an M3, is selling his stock brakes, and has had an enquiry from a 320d owner.

Ok maybe but the OP with that 320d is crazy. Imagine when selling M3 brake upgrade on a 320d.. potential buyer, so why did you feel the need for this modification? Um std brakes were not up to the my requirements... oh really so the half a million other 320d drivers are better able that you to read the road and understand max cornering & aproach speeds.

Tell me are you one of those people who would take off a perfectly fine exhaust for a performance exhaust on a diesel? lol. Did you replace the std discs & calipers when they were worn out or was this ripping off perfectly servicable & with life pads from the car?

I bet your one of those people who think 8000miles from a set of tyres on a road car is the norm and anyone else who gets 5 times that much must be a grany driver.

What are you on about?

PS, I think 3k from rear tyres is about right

I've snipped the rest of your rant and will spell this out for you.

The OP does not have a 320d. Look at his profile - he has an M3. He has bought AP Racing Brakes for his M3. He now has spare brakes.

Somebody, presumably, has asked if his brakes which he is now selling will fit a 320d. Thats all he wants to know. He isn't going to fit anything to a 320d. He doesn't have one. He also doesn't care how daft it is because all he wants to do is sell his brakes.

Yes?
