Title: E36 318is with 318is rear brakes and e46 330i brakes, will it work?
Post by: JackMtech on May 13, 2022, 05:50:51 AM

Hey all, so i have a 1994 e36 318is manual coupe (with the rare Mtechnic package), and plan on building a stroked supercharged m42. But im doing all the other things first clutch, flywheel, suspension overhaul, brakes ect.

What im wondering is that im aware that e46 330i brakes are a great swap for the e36. Although I know it might be more of a hassle for me (from what ive read anyway) to swap the rear brakes on my 318is because of the handbrake boot. Will 330i fronts and 318is rears be fine? I plan on slotted rotors for front and rear nonetheless with nice brake pads. At the moment i have brembo pads in there. For my build im aiming for 300rwhp minimum. I should mention that the car is being built for the track, although not very often. Thanks!

You can also swap e46 325i and 328i rear brakes. Discs are 294mmx19mm and hand brake is same like e36.
