What's to swapping to N'Ring Pkg. brakes up front?

[95-540iLE]

I am in the process of updating the brakes on my 540i LE to the full 1995 M5 big brake system.

Picked up the calipers second hand off EBay UK together with rear protection plates. Am currently waiting for delivery of the (new) disks and pads and in the meantime are getting the calipers powdercoated and rebuilt.

Have a list of all bits required at work. Let me know if interested.

Cheers

I'm under the assumption that the e32 750il Euro calipers and the E34 M5 3.8L calipers use the same pads.

I e-mailed a german distributor yesterday and I'm certain EBC makes pads for these calipers (see 3886C).

I still need to reply back to them, but I will keep you guys updated.

I have responded to your request a bit further down and in somewhere, but in general answer, it is very easy to get the parts to upgrade to the Nurburgring or big brake package fitted to the 1995 model M5 and the Euro 850CSi - just very expensive.

BMA give very competitive quotes which in my opinion, compare favourably to the UUC, AP, Brembo type alternatives.

Still expensive however!

Good luck with it.

Interested in making this upgrade, and was wondering if you guys could help me figure out what all is involved in this swap?

If it's as simple as Rotors/calipers....how easy it to get ahold of Nurburgring Pkg. calipers?

Thanks again for the help,

Yeah, thanks so much for the info. Looks like it probably makes more sense to go the aftermarket route when it's all said and done.
