Well, if I had used this exact kit, it would no longer be new now wouldn't it.

To be clear, I installed an identical kit (same exact part numbers) on a 328xi. The kit for sale is brand new, never mounted, most of it never removed from its original packaging (some was removed for the pictures obviously).

Rich

So by saying this, you are confirming fitment on 328xi? or no? If not, can we confirm with BMW?

What I am saying is that I installed an identical kit, the same exact parts, same calipers, same rotors, same everything on an E90 328xi. Is your car absolutely positively identical to the one I installed the kit on? I don't know, I have no way of 100% telling whether BMW did a design, engineering or supply chain change that might make your specific 328xi different from the one I installed it on.

BMW won't confirm it because the ETK doesn't reflect this kit fitting the 328xi so they will say "no, it won't". But, just because a part isn't specified in the ETK as fitting a model doesn't mean that it won't.

Heck, I have 135i calipers on my 330i. People here have put 335i calipers on their 325, 328, 330, the ETK doesn't have it that way obviously and you would be hard pressed to find a BMW dealer that would say "yes, they fit".

So, you keep

Regards,

Rich

From the looks of it, this kit is almost or maybe the same as the 135 brake kits. The front would definitely work for your e92 328xi but the rear rotors would not because the 328 and 328xi is different in the rear. However, the rear calipers should work on your stock rotors as it did when i installed my 135 BBK

The front of the performance fits bro. But the rear, you need custom bracket. Nlakind was able to install the front 135 brakes both rotosr and calipers without any modification on his 335.

I have had 135i calipers (identical other than color as the BMW Performance calipers) on my 330i for a year now. Of course, a purportedly reputable BMW dealer on this forum claimed that BMW Performance calipers and 135i calipers were completely different, but apparently they don't always know what they are talking about.

They are, I have compared them side by side. That is why I found this post so humorous:

Obviously this isn't true so be careful what the purported "all knowing dealer" tells you.
