Brembo on a budget! Let's make x5 great again :)

Still looking for coders who can code the M brakes for me! Preferably on east coast/remotely. Thanks to all!

How much does the dealer want?

Dealer had no idea what I was talking about. If dealer saying that, I won't even bother explaining it to them.

[Maverik259]

haha yikes...that's a bit ridiculous, although were you talking to the SA or a service tech? SA's aren't exactly smart when it comes to BMW's as they typically deal with oil changes and standard every day repairs. Maybe try again but ask to talk to a tech

I got it done from same person who did my cluster... brakes honestly feel a bit better (10-20%) but wasn't worth coding. Others claiming I'm only getting 40% power but who knows maybe mind tricks

Brake pedal should be up high and takes very little brake pedal travel to start slowing down, stopping normally should be effortless and it should bite hard when you get on them (hard braking). Since your rotors are new I’d give it 500 miles of driving normally to break in the rotors and pads before it gets better. And depending on what pads material you use (ceramics are notorious) cold rotors and pads can affect braking performance.

Yeah I don't feel that. I'm sure I put in 500+ miles already. I mean it feels good to me how it was before. Didn't take much to brake. Overall I'm happy with the product anyways

As Mr. 47 said. I didn’t notice too much of a difference after installing and coding. Then my wife drove the car for a week (as it’s her daily driver) and the next weekend when I drove it after new pads and rotors were broken in I’d say she drove around ~300-400 miles and it was just as described above.

I also coded the car the morning after installing the brakes and I could tell a huge difference before and after coding similar to what others have described on this forum. Before coding it felt worse than the stock brakes.

Oh so you guys saying after it is coded, there is a break-in period?

All brakes have a bedding/break-in period regardless of coding.

Still coming down to my level of stupidity huh? I guess we know who the stupid one now is 🤔🤔

I am guessing english is not your first language based on your lack of understanding.

I spoke to your stupidity blowing up in your face, karma is a bitch, you learned directly, and it was documented in the thread for all to enjoy. Keep pretending you know what youre talking about, spouting off baseless opinions on threads you have no knowledge to offer and then asking others to solve your problems when you fail, it's truly entertaining for us all and we get to watch you struggle along the way.

Lol you keep saying "us" or "we" but yet no one has come your aid on these "claims". Stop clogging up the forums because you might not have nothing else to do. Just give up and enjoy the day.

Haha I love trolling you, laughing at your posts and watching you flounder. Go back and read the posts where I tried to help you but you know it all. I have had a few members appreciate my posts calling you on your nonsense and even sending me PMs about you being a leech/drag on this forum.

At this point, I feel like it's too easy to clown you while you're struggling to figure out the basics. Luckily, there is always someone willing to get rich off your mistakes and ineptitude. You will learn that you earn more respect and support if you would research more (search), read the thread (read) and then ask questions to fill the gaps (ask educated questions). Until then, you get laughed at and disregarded.

Whatever helps you sleep at night man! My reputation "points" are higher than yours but I guess I'm still a drag to the forums. Must be hard not getting laid so taking your frustration out on forums and label yourself as an e-thug. Smash away man, smash away.

Agreed. 🙏🏽

Hello,

I was just wondering if 410x36 discs from Rolls Royce will fit our X5's? They have part number 34116786631 left and 34116786632 right.

Rolls Royce's calipers 34116855461 pretty much look the same like E70 X5M 34116789341: Here's a link to an eBay offer. The part number of both calipers is different and so are the numbers of the brake pads although they have the same measurements (135mm length, 114mm width, 19mm thickness) and even the same brembo part number 24524.
Both calipers share the same guide pins 34 11 6 789 293 and repair set brake caliper 34 21 6 780 515.
What is more, RR and E53 both have 5x120 bolt circle and 72.5mm wheel hub diameter.

I think RR's 410x36 discs should fit our E53. What do you think?

You might need to find out about adapter since rotor size is different. Custom make adapter is not cheap

[sese]

You think of an adapter to move the caliper (410-395)/2 = 7,5 mm off centre? Are you sure whether this is necessary? Maybe the 410 rotors will fit without any changes?

Read the thread ...there's 32 pages of great information.

[sese]

Oh good lord I was hoping to get some proper answer whether 410x36 rotors will fit any X5 model instead of reading >30 pages of text. Easy to answer for those who know anyways.
