Default E60 M5 Brakes on CSL

Would they fit?

What would they be like with uprated pads?

They are 380mm front and 370mm rear if that helps Bryce, I dont believe they are much better than the CSL brakes though although they M5 brakes are truely awesome on the road, I think I would go with the 6 pot AP's myself.

Don't bother. My mate has changed the OEM brakes on his E60 M5 for a BBK. They were crap on the track, loads of fade and when they were removed they weighed a tonne!

Spend your money on braided hoses, fluid & uprated pads if a BBK is out of reach at the moment.

Easy now...

Just throwing out there. Was some discs and calipers on ebay for £500 and thought if they're fit for stopping a 1.8tonne car, then surely they should be good for the CSL.

It's more the repeat performance that you're after though I assume? OEM setup isn't that bad at stopping the car a few times, it's when you lean on them again and again that they turn to mush
