I a cannot take credit for the using the rover calipers that credit goes to another board member" ilias051266" He did this upgrade first.

I'm going to do this mod soon, but one thing that I'm not 100% sure of is the brake line. OP said he replaced the brake lines for new braided ones, but did not include info about which model.

Can I use the stock E53 brake lines or do I need the E70 X5M brake lines?

Now there is a million dollar question.. I bought SS standard lines for the E53, so I hope they work. I have everything to do the job but the rotors yet. I worked it out with R1 to get the mismatched set for fronts and rears, they just need to be ordered.

I was able to get a KILLER deal on new wheels, 20s off of an X3M, so wheels and tires have been changed from the original 18s.

I think they will work as Jay did not list them in his partslist, but I want to be sure. :-)

I found a complete set of calipers, rotors and pads for 600 EUR in Germany. Cheap I think. I will paint them to match the rear calipers. Can't wait!! :D
