F10 m5 Brake swap

[smashe]

Im installing f10m5 calipers and rotors on my f15 in the next few days. I need to know if i can use my oem f15 brake lines, or do I need to order f85 or f10 lines? Couldn't find any solid answers in the brembo thread.

As I remember someone posted that the f85 lines are longer so I think you’ll need them. The calipers are the same on m5 and x5m, just the brackets are needed for f85

I think E70 and F85 brake line part numbers are same. I did that for my X5M caliper upgrade. I just did a quick cross reference on ECS?

I guess im going to pull my wheel off tomorrow and see if I'll be able to use the 50i lines. I don't see why they wouldn't work. Unless they have a different fitting on them.

Hi, im also looking to do this mod! Where did you get the brackets to install the M5 calipers? Did you have them custome made? Thx

What did you find? Pics of the end result?

50i lines are about an inch short. I could have modified the brake hose bracket to make them work but i just decided to do it right and get f85 lines. Brakes work perfectly.

Trying to post a pic but this atupid forum womt let me. I constantly have issues posting pics on here and it randomly logs me out after i make 1 post.

What's the total damage $$$ for this setup, if you don't mind me asking?

Finally got round to fitting the M5 brake setup on my F15.
