Yes, you have to source the rotors yourself but i help with part numbers and locating best price available. Front/rear rotors are from 2014 bmw 550iGT 364/370mm

Can't brag enough about this upgrade. Tony's kit is the way to go! Two years in and still beautiful and stopping on a dime.

Only difference is size and rotor price (kit doesn’t come with rotors but includes everything else ). ///M rotors are a hood bit pricier.

Heres a video from the install i done for one of my local customers:

Tony, just want to confirm rotor size. You mention several sizes in the thread. As I mentioned, I run 22" wheels and my stock one are 20". Thank you.

+1 for Tony’s kit. Have had the front and rear installed for almost a year with zero issues. Didn’t even need to do the coding.

Without the coding, do you feel a change in paddle firmness?

I am look into getting this kit for my f15 50i, the stock brake does not give me much of confidence even during daily driving. The paddle feels softer to what I like also the braking power is just not good enough imo.

I’m with him on the brakes…my stock 50i brakes felt horrible. Lots of pedal travel with no braking, then all of a sudden you’d get SOME brake action, but not much, then you’d have to press pretty firmly to only get kind of decent stopping power. At first I thought it was electric over hydraulic brakes. Then when I put the brakes from an F85 on all was good…pedal feel was “normal”, thankfully.

Not a huge change in pedal firmness but I did do stainless lines and upgraded fluid at the same time so I’m sure that helped.

I might do stainless lines as well while in there, would you mind share the link for the lines?

Your discription is very accurate! That is exactly how mine feels now!

I’d try flushing your brake fluid…that helped some on mine. But the big difference in pedal feel and power was having the 6 piston brakes up front with larger rotors. The rear is now larger rotors but the same caliper. I’m definitely going to upgrade the rear caliper at some point when funds allow.

I actually just did the brake fluid flush with my oil change two days ago. It helped maybe like 5%, funny how similar my experience is to yours.

I have other bmws and by far brake feels worst on this one. That’s why I started searching for solution haha
