E34 Big Brake Kit *UNDER £500*

This is the second part of the big brake kit for the E34, this job has given me hell! What could go wrong, did go wrong but the end result is great brakes are 10x better (after I bled the brakes a second time) and have additional cooling so ideal for some track time!
Parts used (if you want do it yourself)
4x M12x1.5x55
4x 10mm 30mm OD 12mm ID spacers
OEM PN: 34106799805 pads
OEM PN: 34116799465 left caliper
OEM PN: 34116799466 right caliper
OEM PN: 34116792223 discs
you can reuse standard brake lines I opted for braided lines for better pedal feel and the old lines were in shoddy condition
Thanks for watching!

@11:16 i thought i was the only one who done that😅 my 17mm socket is still missing, never work close to grass,you will find nothing back in that stuff.

[@PinkGuy120]

Awesome stuff

[@Agris13]

Awesome! Thanks for the vid. What about rear brakes?? Any upgrades?

[@CSAutoWorks]

None yet I know of a few options but trying to source parts is an issue atm, stay tuned I’ll hopefully have something sorted soon!

[@die-spirituellen]

Nice 👍

[@richardaustin4728]

What length of braided hoses did you use? Are they standard length e34 braided hoses?

[@CSAutoWorks]

I used standard size braided lines for an e34 the length and fitting size are correct!

Hey man, you good? My question is, do you have 18inch rims on this video? Do you think or know if all this could go into a 17inch rim? into oem bbs rc 19. I am talling about the diametwr space (not betwen the iner face of the rim, in my case i have 16mm soacers).
Or in case if you could gice me the mesurement betwen the center of the qheel hub until the end of the caliper would be super..

[@CSAutoWorks]

So I’m unsure on which 17s fit I do believe that a couple of oem do fit, I’ll have look see if I can find some info for you!

[@artiomradetchi242]

@@CSAutoWorks thnak you a lot

[@vMaTas14]

Doing the same brake swap myself, did the spacer thickness end up being 7.5mm as you mentioned, or 10mm as in description? Cheers.

[@CSAutoWorks]

10mm is the needed thickness, I’d suggest getting them made out of 6061 aluminium also

[@kirilchuk]

Nice video , where did you get the caliper spacers and the caliper bolts

[@CSAutoWorks]

I made the spacers on a lathe and brought bolts to suit the required length

[@daneitor97]

Did you need wheel spacer?

[@CSAutoWorks]

For the wheels I’m running i needed like 3mm spacers but ran 12mm for better fitment in the arches
