[QUOTE="supergripen, post: 303445, member: 1254"] pussy,thanx bro..yeah,i think converting whole to an M5 or even a 545i setup would be the most cost effective way to upgrade an e60's braking capability..especially if u have a performance enhanced 525i/530i due to the fact the these cars are huge and relatively heavy. Richard.. hope u find ur interim plan hoses. here's some data on M5,545i and even 535d brakes.. M5 - f 374x36mm perforated r 370x24mm perforated 545i-f 348x30mm solid r 345x24mm solid 535d-f 348x36mm solid r 345x24mm solid no doubt upgrading to Brembos will be best but these items costs a bomb plus as Richard rightly said,u'll need 19" wheels if u're going for 380mm ones.and u can't just upgrade the fronts..u'll need to do the rear as well to get the correct brake balance..u wod'nt want a car that's unstable while braking.. i for one find my 525i's brakes utterly useless during heavy braking..doesn't give the confidence required for spirited driving on such a large car. remember,brakes are equally as important as power.
