Brakes from an E32 735, will they fit on my '92 E34 525?

[Spice Boy]

I hope so, because I can get the calipers etc etc VERY cheap if they do fit!

He has posted a couple of charts that show the interchangeability (I think) of different brakes (Disc's and Calipers) it also has the part numbers as well.

Cheers!

bmwe34.net talks about it in detail

[markus]

arent they the same calipers?

[JesterE34]

slightly larger i believe



rotors are a little larger so i'd assume the calipers would be too. different part numbers at least

E34 540i, E32 735i-il, 740i-il, 750il, front brakes will fit the E34.
E32 front brakes are an upgrade for non M5/M540i

the chart and this ^^^ is taken from bmwe34.net

my mistake, the rotors are larger 28mm vs 22mm. different carriers on the calipers then.

front, the calipers and 28mm thick rotors are a direct drop in
rear, the hubs have a different offset but it doesn't really matter as they are pretty much the same brakes on a 735 as the e34, 740/750s have vented rear which are nice, i swapped the trailing arms (bolts right in) to get them on my 535, slotted e32 fronts and vented rears work well

so how big of a difference are you expecting if you swap out the front rotors and calipers? I have access to a parted 735 is it worth the swap? Is there noticable bite? or will it throw off the balance from front to rear?
