On the other hand, I saw this BBK, not sure on price ??

What care do you have? If it is a 328 then you will need bigger rotors too.

As discussed with another forum user, 335 upgrade might be the way to go BUT I dont think even thats a cheap option ?? I have a 320D

Yea so you got the smaller rotors. In your case if you want bigger calipers you will need bigger rotors too. And I don't know what size rims you have but if they are 16s then you will need to get bigger rims too if you want to go with the setup above.

Yeah the 328 sedans without sports package came with 16s. Given the fact you have 19s I can see why you would want bigger calipers and rotors.

I got my 335 brakes for my 318d from a breakers for about £200 for the calipers and carriers then got some new discs and pads from BMW. Great upgrade in terms of performance and aesthetics. A nicer caliper design and much bigger for filling behind the wheels. I've upgraded to the BMW performance 6 pots now which look awesome but it depends how much you wanted to spend

The Nashin look nice. There's a good thread on them somewhere on the forum.

hwn1011 · 02-08-2017, 12:01 PM

Sorry to dig up an old thread but has anyone tried Nashin brakes yet? They look great which is normally a good start.

I've never heard of them but they might be a company who hasn't really broken out of their home country, honestly I'd go with someone well known.
