Any using non-OEM E34 calipers?
Posted: Jul 07, 2024 10:44 PM
Hey gang,
I want to finally do the classic E34 brake upgrade, ideally the 540i calipers. However, while searching it appears they are $1,000+ these days... Although, I'm seeing aftermarket options for 10% of that at AutoZone... ( https://www.autozone.com/brakes-and-tra ... ke-caliper )
1) Has anyone done this upgrade without getting the OEMs?
2) Is it really that detrimental to get OEM on this? (Should I not do this if I can't get OEM?)
3) Where are people getting these things these days, aside from a junkyard or waiting for someone to sell their used set?
Thanks1
