In Reply to: Where to source Euro M5 brakes? posted by Tony Wu on May 09, 2002 at 05:41:23:

You might be just as happy with non-Euro brake setup from the E34 M5.
My experience with the E28 was that the brakes tended to warp very
quickly... There was an upgraded hub thingy (technical term) that was
supposed to help (see item #20:
http://www.garageboy.com/bmw/brakefaq.html), also here is a page that
outlines your "stock" options:

eE28M5.html

I don't know that the Euro setup is going to offer better (faster?
Slower?) braking, but certainly the cooling / heat dissipation is
better. You might look at the UUC "very serious brake" alternative
though (http://www.uucmotorwerks.com/). I'd link directly, but the UUC
site is very frame intensive (Rob! :).

Other alternatives, the expensive Mov'it
(http://www.ultimategarage.com/bigbrake1.html) kits, or the StopTech
(http://www.stoptech.com/bigbrakes/bmw.htm) kits --
