Brake Backing Plates?

[UNHCLL]

M3 ones will not work on a non-M suspension.

Also, using a style with a U cutout makes like much easier than pulling hubs.

They aren't coated, they don't have the "lip" around the rotor inside, and their hose attachment pipe isn't as long. They're also cut differently - instead of a hole for the hub, they're cut with a U to the inside, so hub removal is not required to install.

Thanks, you've been super helpful. I contacted them :).

Thanks Sam. Do they look like the ones in the BMP link above?

[Sam Lin]

No I don't, and they don't have pics up of them. They're well made, tig welded stainless, very well finished.

I'm not getting any pics to load on that site: Do you happen to have a photo of yours?

Hmm. BMP calls them "M3 Brake Duct Kits."

The ones sold by Turner Motorsports for the E30 M3 are $239.

Is it safe to say the E30 M3 ones fit the E30 325i? In that case, one could order the Turner E30 M3 ones for $60 less than the BMP items.

Bmp has been making them for a while. They seem overpriced to me and I am not a big fan of BMP in general but the product seems pretty good. At one point someone was making prototypes, it was in the Group Buy section but never seemed to fully materialize(suprize)

Does anyone know if there's someone manufacturing backing plates (carbon fiber or not) for 4-lug E30's?

A la the Turner plates (these ones are for E36):
