 Topic: 4 pot conversion
Posted: 25-August-2005 at 14:56 |

I recently got a tip off that my local motor factor does the 850i 4 pot calipers for about £65 each exchange. I will find out what the penalty is for not having an exchange caliper also the carrier interchangability and let you know what gives.

I thought so, but as they are coming from a factor and are refurb'd I thought it better not to say the "B" word but by Heck they will help things haul up a bit,,,

"4 pot conversion"
Del, are you advocating fitting a 1.8 4 pot M10 to a 7 series?

Only as a new starter motor for my V12 
The four pots I refer to are the Brembo ones LMAO and my local dealer has confirmed a direct fit so I will now no longer be doing my Xenon conversion insted a new set of stoppers on the front

The single pots are ok for the 735 but not up to the job of the extra weight on the 750...
btw, Del drives his car like a pampered poodle

It's how it looks Philip, with the 18"s on you can see the caliper and the four pot ones are so cool in comparison.
The final price I am getting quoted is £150.18.00 plus VAT each with a £30 surcharge for no exchange unit. This is still about half what they tend to go for on ebay for used ones these are new exchange.
