Ceramic disc and brakes

Zitat von Noggie;56652

I just checked the ETK myself, and compared p.nr. the p.nr is 34116757746 for front 850.
Smileatme. where did you find that number? it does not match the one I found in BMW ETK?

For the e39 540i it is only pre 03/2000 production models that use the front same p.nr as the 850.

As for the e38 only the 740i uses these brakes, the 750 has bigger rotors (334x32) 735i has smaller.
740i front and rear are the same as the 850.

the e32 7-series has smaller brakes. (750i 302x28)

so it the front will fit e39 540 up to 03/2000.
front and rear will fit the e38 740i only.

even if the size is the same (324x30mm) it dosent mean that the hub is the same, if the hub is not as deep, the offset of the car will change... if the calipper will fit at all.

I'd stick with the e31's, the e38 740i and the e39 540i front as the same rotor. For those cars the p.nr match, not just the size.

Hi! noggie!
i´ve got this information from an older german version of ETK!
but also your numer is in ETK see the list.. its a crossover list
i agree that there will be differences between models and years..
for example the e32 IL version has 4Pod calipers with 324/30!!
and my E39 built 99 had the same disks..
but fact is that my number 34111159895 has been replaced by yours 34116757746 and 34111159916 has been replaced by mine..
so there is a big history of different numbers but the same product..
and they´re ALL replaceable with the other one (rückwirkend austauschbar)

So be sure that there will be different numbers for the same thing with different prices.. but they´re the SAME!!
See pic´s below!

Thats ok.
Thought you might have had an older number, I got mine from www.realoem.com and the 2008 catalog on that website.

Just to clear things out there are model differences as you mention, so I just thought it was a bit over the top and say that they would fit all e32, e38 and all e39 540s.
would be a shame if some guy with one of these cars ordered one and it did not fit.

you know.. same same but different

You've been to Asia??
We used that phrase all the time in China and South-Korea.

Typical situation was to guys ordering beer.
-I'd like a beer (first guy)
-ok (waitress)
-same same but different (second guy)

Otherwise you might end up sharing a beer

same same..

*rofl*

no.. but a good friend of mine..

so i´ve also learned something today! *g*

nice Sunday!
