[QUOTE=BIMMER_BLUEBLOOD;974115]anybody know a mechanic talented enough to do a brake retrofit with the Big Brake OEM for an e39 onto a e53?? [IMG]
OEM big brake kit being the M5 kit? this was on another thread here. stock 4.4 brake rotors are thicker and nearly the same diameter. You would probably have to machine a custom caliper bracket as the compatibility of the brackets is unknown between the E39 and E53, the only shared brake component is the pads and caliper. That is of course if the rotor hat is compatible with the steering knuckle of the E53. It's easier to just get a 4.6/4.8 brake setup which was larger than any other vehicle of that era (unless you count the E60 M5 or M6).

Mclaren must have figured out their mistake. This from the new P1 hypercar:
