Can you explain further? Did you add an adjustable brake proportioning valve?

No, what I meant is the X5 doesn't have a static brake system. Its fully capable of altering the pressure to various calipers. The rear X5M caliper (piston size) isn't significantly different from the non M either. There is a bigger rotor and pad for more swept area.

Why, when the X5 M front calipers retrofit nicely (see signature). You'd have to fabricate a custom mounting bracket, and do all the calculations for piston sizing etc to see if the brake bias is affected.

Hi Blue dragon from the UK.

Just purchase a full set of X5M brakes & plan to fit to my X5 40D

Did you program your brakes to the car ?

Thank you

The new brakes work GREAT with no changes to anything.
Just install them and enjoy!
