And I want to paint in this thread in this sub-forum in the entire site spacers for some wheels, 5mm upwards. consumables: fluid, washers (2x 34111123072 of note), sensors (apparently need to splice E46+135i: take the new 135i sensor and keep the "modern" side that connects to the new pads, keep the vehicle-side of the E46 sensor. If too short, use eg an E39 wire + 135i sensor) etc. Rears: From what I’ve read here’s the parts needed to for the conversion: 1. 330i front callipers. 2. 330i calliper brackets. 3. 330i brake disc dust cover. I’m not sure but I think the brakes might be the same on the 330d and 330i. Best place to get these parts is off a 330Ci or 330i/d that’s being stripped. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk. Z.

I have a 2004 330i with a major brake shudder issue. In the past year, I have replaced at least 3 sets of front rotors (BMW OEM; dealer supplied) which fixes it temporarily; invariably, within a few hundred miles of driving, the brake shuddering returns. The car is not tracked and my driving consists for mostly orUe08.
