I did this a few weeks ago, was a direct swap. I swapped complete 325i trailing arms with parking brake cables and got new soft lines (4 of them), rotors and pads. From what I gathered 318i and 325e/i (early non abs master cylinders) are not the same, so I ordered and have a new ATE brake master cylinder that I still need to install.
Brakes are working fine, although I am not 100% sure right now if it's my left rear/front locking up first under heavy braking. I plan to test a few more times, then swap to 325i/e MC and see what happens then.Mtech1 v8 build thread - https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...d.php?t=413205
