BMW Performance Brake system

Prodipper · 03-10-2009, 09:49 PM

I have a 328i with stock non sport and I'm thinking of changing the brakes

system to the BMW performance brake system from Tischer. I wanted to

know if there's anything better out there for the price or just suggestions in

general that you guys can think of. Thank you in advance

You mean 'brakes'?

I'm pretty sure they are the same brakes as the 135 and I've seen some issues with hardcore tracking.
I think that they should be great for spirited driving.

BMW Performance brakes are the same as the OEM 135i 338x26 and 324x22 6 pistons

Do you think that these brakes are a good upgrde for 335i ?
OEM 335i has 348x30 336x22 but with one piston

thanx Mr.5

spirited driving is what I'll be doing. I also wonder if it's worth upgrading?

it's definitely an upgrade, But, you may want to change pads first, before dropping a few grand on new brakes. A more aggressive pad compound can make a big difference in braking performance, and is probably all you really need if you are just street driving.

Thanx a lot guys this makes me think twice before dropping all that money just on brakes. I really hate the way my small stock callipers look too any suggestions on that? Honestly the stock brakes I have now are fine I just wanted to upgrade to make things look better but I guess I have a lot to think about and more research to do.

Plus you can only get them in that ugly yellow color. I wish they were black or charcoal gray to go with more exterior colors.

Yea I know this one really bummed me out ...... I guess the brakes will remain the same and maybe upgrade the suspension

I think you will be much happier with a suspension upgrade, it will change both the handling and the look of the car.

^ thank you guys for the input.

I disagree. For the price, you cannot do any better. The calipers are made by brembo, and I actually love the yellow color. Red is so played out.

DAMN i wish they'd come out with a 335 kit already!!!

I wouldn't hold your breath. If we haven't seen them yet, it's doubtful that we ever will.

Is it worth to upgrade 335i to the existing Performance kit for 135i?

I can get it for 700euro....

but again is it better 338x26 6 pistons brembo or 348x30 one piston original 335i????
