He has checked and thinks that the only K Sport kit available is a 380mm kit. That may be a non starter because the plan is to run 18" Cups.

Please to share costs if you have them to hand - realistically it is something that needs to be ticked off before the TD season so there isn't an immediate need.

Good to hear so many positive comments, incidentally...

standard size disc on e92 m3 is 360mm, so iirc the ksport kit is 380mm,

K sport have just confirmed it is the Super 8 Kit only for the E90/2 M3 and yep 380mm only cost is £1900 all in, AP is not much more and offer an 18'' wheel option !

Wow - that's expensive considering that the smaller K Sport kits are so much cheaper! Agree the AP kit does start to look a little better.

Thanks for looking that up.

I have just got myself a AP kit. 378mm as I will just run the OEm wheels at Nurburgring and track days. I went for Black and now the calipers are in Gloss black rather than the Matt finish AP use to do.
