Can you confirm if this is definitely applicable for the CSL?
Also, the discs are the same size as the standard CSL brakes, presumably the fact that they are 6 pots make a considerable difference? Thanks |

That part number is available .. but it's just a CSL front brake upgrade for the normal M3 ...
The BMW/Brembo 6 pot performance brake isn't available for the E46 series ... Link to the part here http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...=34&fg=95&hl=1 |

so the front calipers are £54, rears £42 each and just bolt straight on as the disc is the same size as standard csl discs?
What sort of pads fit these calipers?

This thread is misleading.
The BMW performance kit is basically the CSL brake set up for an e46 m3, great. No use to any csl owners. |

csl doesnt have 6pot fronts and 2 pots rears tho??
I would have the better calipers if they just bolt on and work with standard size csl discs

You can fit almost anything, from any manufacturer.

The standard CSL brakes are just bigger discs on the front than the stock M3. The are single piston, fully floating calipers front and rear. I was running Pagid Blue pads on the front with an otherwise complete standard set up and it was a very good set up. I have just upgraded to APs front and rear and the difference is massive. Don't forget the other benefit of getting rid of the standard CSL brakes is to save a whole load of unsprung weight. Anyone who has compared the weight difference between one of the massive AP front calipers and a tiny standard M3 front caliper will know what I mean |

Hi Guys...
Just want to enquire if anybody has tried fitting these brakes to a CSL? If so, were there any benefits? Was it a straight fit?? Please let me know as there is a set of these 135i Performance calipers available pretty cheap here.... |
