Bigger brakes cheaper "custom" alternative

[DuSh]

Again not my pics, but owner did following:
1. Front rotors from M5 F10 - they are even bigger 400mm than X5M F85 rotors (395mm)
2. Front calipers, pads and brackets from 7 series F01
3. Custom made bracket fasteners

Why do you think so? It's all oem bmw, parts are from M5 and 7 series F01. This is not mine, it was done in other country. I think main goal was to save some money compared to MPBK. According to OP it's 1/2 the cost while braking surface and performance is at the same level as F85 X5M brakes. Don't get me wrong - these brakes may not be huge improvement in performance, but I think it was more done for looks mainly and cheaper price rather than to make a car a track beast

In US/Canada we may be better off with MPBK - again don't get me wrong - I'm not saying or implying anything - this post was just to show what "mods" other people have done - just for bmw enthusiasm and fun, that's all.

P.S. Another pics I wanted to post was about putting a manual transmission in x5 f15 (which was done by some guy) - again as one of the crazy things fans do, but I'll probably skip on it lol as I see some of my posts are taken the wrong way and people start questioning lots of things haha while this was just posted for informative and entertainment reasons
