Affordable BBK Option - Brintech Customs

[jbfrancis3]

I've watched a few Brintech Customs YT videos (they did the weight comparison between S54/S65/S85) and discovered they have a BBK kit for the E46 M3.

Six piston / 365mm fronts and four piston / 350mm rear. No idea what the bias is. They machine their own caliper brackets and rotor hats. Rotors are DBA brand and pads are Bendix-something.

I note that the front calipers do not have the bridge that the Brembo E46 M3 kit has. That has to affect rigidity but may be less a consideration for street use.

Cost shipped to USA is approx $6,300 Australian pesos, which at this time of writing, is about $4,500 - $4,600 real dollars. That's pretty attractive.

I am in the process of selecting a kit for my project, and this definitely seems like a good option. The idea of custom paint, etc makes it a good proposition. Curious about the brake bias myself. With the right piston size, this could be the holy grail.

It's the 18Z caliper off a Porsche/Audi. I believe p0lar and a few others on the old forum adapted this kit for the E46. How about 650 for 4 calipers and pads lol -

I think the only issue is they only fit 19" wheels.

Do you think Brintech machines them for fitment on the E46 M3, or this is a bolt on? Maybe special brackets?
