I upgraded fronts with 92 740 calipers, rotors and worked great! I tried the same for upgrade for rears but the calipers are about 5mm deeper and will not catch the threads for the single rotor bolt. Is there a bolt on upgrade like the bolt on for the fronts? Looking for advise, I also have nice rebuilt rear 740 rear calipers for sale.

Trailing arms? sounds costly and alot of work. Which calipers,rotors did you use? My rotors that I have bought are Brembos vented for a 92 740.

i work in a bmw salavge yard so i can grab whatever i want, i got a pair of complete rear arms off of a 92 750il and that was that. the problem is the rear hub has a different offset on the 7 series and the rotor and caliper reflect that be it vented or solid rotor setup
