Default These badboys should work well on the BMW.......

New brakes for the E39






They are the same as what I fitted to Slowpokes Cossie.

Bargain price at £165 for the pair of them and the best thing about them is they fit behind the standard wheels and will utilise the standard 325x30mm disc

Going to have a little play next week while I have time between night shifts. Should make it stop nicely when on the 'Ring

Yep, a quick scrub with the wire brush and then a coat of heat resistant black paint and some new decals should do the trick

It certainly is - 530d M-Sport - Getting the stopping sorted out before I get it going faster is a good idea

12 pots - awesome

Chris - they will need a little modification to make them fit no doubt, I'll find out over the coming week

What discs have you got on yours? tell me on msn when you're on
