Z4m brakes.
Sorry perhaps I wasn't obvious enough in my first post. Let me explain for you.
You swap the link pipe with the bleed nipples then use the left boxster caliper on the right hand side of the z4m and vice versa.
Bored of explaining this now to you. Go and read the multitude of guides on fitting your exact brake setup on the internet as I did when I fitted mine. Or get your F1 team to fit it.
eta: if you don't believe me, here's a random post on the internet I've just briefly searched for...
"Well I knew....because the rears on the Porsche are leading and on the M3 they are trailing...They have different sized pistions so to keep everything the same you have to turn them upside down....therefore you have to swap the connecting pipe with the bleed nipples. If you fit them as is they will have the pistions the wrong way round.
Some one else has done it wrong and got uneven pad wear, ie worn a set of pads out in 500miles (to the metal on one edge)"

But upon fitting can clearly see i was wrong as off car I made the mistake of thinking they had crossover pipe the wrong way round as it was ground up effort and had panicked thinking after all the effort and painting I had screwed it up with a school boy error
But I was wrong and can see are fitted and bled correctly and work properly with pistons in from small to larger
Of which can be seen from pictures
So I knew and looked at pics then you could've seen correct, rather than give verbal and incorrect abuse
But that appears to be your style
Act then think

Hahah
Well it was worth the banter anyways
Things off look different from those on and after his text saying had you swapped them panicked me!
By guy that prepped and painted them had already swapped the pipes over as going from front to rear of disc
Hahah.
Love life I guess

Just to throw this in...Vanne wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2017 4:19 am So I was just wondering.. my old Z4m stock brakes, will they fit on all Z4's? i.e. non M's or M's only? Its the claws, lines and discs.
another question i have is (as you guys are pretty close to the Oz inspection and no doubt the Oz inspections are derived from the UK ones somewhere along the lines in the past) for your MOT, do you guys have to get any certificate of install for your BBK? or you just bolt it on and off you go? as long as it passes the brake test, they don't look any further?
Cheers

You can use m3/z4M front calipers with an Si carrier with a 28mm 330mm m3 disc..

Nice one Adam and 345mm ///M discs also fit non ///M's with the 6 pot BMW Performance calipers too as I saw it with my own eyes on your Si, so I presume the standard ///M/CSL calipers and carriers will fit too.bradz wrote: ↑Sun Sep 03, 2017 9:27 pm 20170430_104026.jpgJust to throw this in...Vanne wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2017 4:19 am So I was just wondering.. my old Z4m stock brakes, will they fit on all Z4's? i.e. non M's or M's only?

You have to use the Si carrier with the M3 caliper, the M3/CSL carrier the mounting lugs are too close to the back of the disc.
For those who haven seen its possible to fit them to a Si...
