westy 614 Report post Posted May 25, 2010 Later e36 M3 used a two piece rotor. All you'll ever need for a 328. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thorburn 121 Report post Posted May 25, 2010 trying to make these work. The calipers already have mounts for the e36 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted May 25, 2010 Can you not just buy another set of rotors the same as in the picture or are they completely different ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thorburn 121 Report post Posted May 25, 2010 Can get new 1 piece rotors out of the states but they only come in cross drilled and are known for warping There are also 2 piece available 332usd for each hat, 312.95usd for each vented rotor and 81.95usd for each of the hardware I know i really shouldn't be trying to go cheap on bigger brakes I haven't been able to find a substitute from another vehicle Dimensions i need are 320mm diameter, 28mm thick and 60mm height If all else fails they will be for sale Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted May 26, 2010 If it's just a standard road car ie: E36 328I... just buy some brembo slotted rotors and use genuine pads. Thats what I'm using and theyre great. Would save alot of coin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CamB 48 Report post Posted May 26, 2010 Dimensions i need are 320mm diameter, 28mm thick and 60mm height My amateur opinion based on data-mining the excellent spreadsheet at http://www.ebcbrakes.com/catalogues.shtml is that you're not going to find anything from another car in this wide world! Can you get new brackets made to suit a more common rotor option? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted May 26, 2010 To answer your question. http://yellow.co.nz/companies/Automotive-P...176558_317.html E36’s bloody common so there is a good chance he might have something off the shelf. If not account for $1,500+GST initial top hat set up cost, once done you can have disks supplied easy enough when the expire. I had the same problem sourcing disks for my Brembo’s, seems Renault wanted to be different. Woth a try. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brembo's for mine which are the same as yours cost me $160 each and genuine pads are $130 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JiB 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2010 What pads do they use? And are you sure they take the specified rotor? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thorburn 121 Report post Posted May 26, 2010 just got in contact with znoelli and they were very helpful and can sort out rotors for it but they will still be going up for sale Thank you everyone for your help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have the code of the brake pads somewhere but can't find it The calipers etc are from the brembo gt brake kit As seen here: http://www.jlevistreetwerks.com/3-Series-E...oduct_info.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
