    Looking for an E30 M3 Passenger Front Brake Caliper

    hey guys,

    We have a 88 E30 M3 needing the front Passenger Front Brake Caliper. The Caliper is seizing up and we are having a hard time finding one on the usual Turner/BMW south atlanta, etc.

    If you or anybody you know might have one in storage and are willing to part with one, please let me know. or if you have any suggestions on where to look or who to contact. Any help would be very appreciated.

    Thanks

    Hi,
    Put it back on the car leave the brake pad out and then pump the pedal to push the piston out, wrap some rags around it incase the piston pops out and splashes brake fluid around.

    Usually compressed air is enough to pop it out on the bench.

        If your M3 has a (heavier) swapped engine, you can fit e28 calipers. They have slightly bigger pistons which will help balance the extra weight on the front axle with the increased piston area. And they are dirt cheap... Many parts on the e30 M3 came from the e28...
        Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

                      I'm pretty sure I do. I paid $325 for a pair last year. Having said that most of these are powdercoated. What are you looking for?

                              I need the bridge/caliper carrier, if willing to split between us?
