AP Racing by Essex Competition Brake Kit

Fits BMW E46 M3.

⚠ Removes the Factory Parking Brake

Essex state plainly:

“Track focused - removes OE parking brake”

This is a track-focused kit. Fitting it removes the OEM parking brake mechanism. Consider carefully whether this is appropriate for a car you also drive on the road, including any legal inspection requirements in your area for a functioning parking brake.

Specification

• AP Racing CP8350 four piston calipers (now with black AP Racing logos)
• 325 x 32mm, 70 vane AP Racing J Hook disc
• Saves approximately 5 lbs. on the rear axle versus the OE M3 rear brake system, while upgrading to 4-piston calipers and discs 12mm thicker
• Front and rear kits use an identical pad shape and iron disc, allowing front-to-rear swaps as parts wear and reducing the spares you need to hold
• Change pads with only a single bolt while leaving the calipers in place
• Pistons sized properly to allow for seamless integration with OEM master cylinder and ABS system
• Designed to work with the CP8350 Competition Front Brake Kit

Fitment

Contact us with your year and trim before ordering. We will also confirm the correct matching front kit for your car in writing before your order is processed.
