In Reply to: FS: 1999 M3 Front & Rear Brake Calipers w/Brackets posted by GFMIII on August 12, 2001 at 07:41:13:

You will need a spacer and some machine work to get these on our cars. This will also move your front wheels out about 10mm out which might be an issue depending on the suspension setup & tire size. I ended up spending an additional $400 US in machine work and labour to get this sorted.

My car stops great with these bigger brakes, but I need to roll my fenders, change back to a 205X50R16 in the front, or goto Evo III fenders to accommodate the wider front track. The fronts rub with 225X45R16's at full lock and I have pulled the lip out from going up a driveway while turning.

I am also going to a 25 mm brake booster as the stock item was a little tired and the big brakes need more fluid. Note: e36 m3 has bigger booster then ours.

Finally, some members of the SIG m3 list have suggested to swap the whole e36 m3 front including the hubs, struts.. etc. This might be the way to go...

I have a full set of front and rear brake calipers with mounting brackets from a 1999 M3 in excellent condition. Includes half-worn stock pads.

BMW list price for a single caliper is approximately $450.

Asking $500 + shipping.
