I have heard that E32 750il front brakes will simply "bolt right on" to my e24 M635csi. Is thais true? I would love a bigger set of brakes, as I drive like a complete moron, and need all of the stopping power I can get!

Are there any other secrets KNOWN to work for this application? 850 brakes, perhaps?

The first upgrade is to replace the rear calipers and 284x10mm rotors with the E-34, M5/540 calipers and 300x20mm rotors. I suggest that you use the M5, Jurid 547 pads in combination with the OE E-24 pads, calipers and 300x30mm rotors. The increase in brake feel and balane is unbelieveable just ask around.
Many will disagee bit I think the E-32 750 brakes are a down grade for the M6.
If you want more fronr brake the 840/850 Brembo brakes (324x30mm rotors) are a better selection for the M6.
If you want he whole deal, upgrade to the Euro '95 E-34, M5 brakes 345x32mm front and 328x20mm rear rotors. However, the E-34 M5/540 rear brakes are the best bang for the bucks upgrade.
