Yes and No, you will see when I install them :)

The Z was delivered at ESS yesterday for some supercharging Looking forward to pick it up again

Before I drove the Z to ESS, I got the time to mount my new brakes :)

This is the parts used:

Front:

-Original Bmw Performance calipers
-Original Bmw M3 CSL rotors
-Original Bmw Performance brake pads
-Special made brackets for caliper made to fit Z4

Rear:

-Original Bmw 3.0Si calipers
-PF drilled rotors
-Original brake pads
-Mercedes E-Class caliper covers

Those front performance brake calipers was not a great match to my new paintjob, so I decided to paint them Lamborghini Rosso Mars 3 stage red.
As I kept the original rear caliper, I had to do those as well.

Rear brakes:

Those rear brakes was not that good

To get a nice finish on the rear caliper, I grinded them smooth, a work from hell

After the pro paint job

To give those rear calipers a nicer look, I modificated a Mercedes E-class brake cover

After fresh paint, the logo was oversprayed and sealed with some clear coat.

New rotors mounted

Cover mounted to caliper and spring

Very nice solution.

What means: "I modificated a Mercedes E-class brake cover"?

Modification = painting?
Mercedes-Partnumber?

I had to cut the tap you see at the picture. And yes, the mod was also painting it.

No, sorry. They still installing it. This kit is manfactured for the E90. So there is a little extra work with piping and some other small differences. They use my car as mole to manufacture the Z4 n52 kit :)

I will update on dynos as fast as I get my car back. Hoping it will be this week..

[Beachpapst]

Have u planned any more engine mods e.g. pistons, clutch cooling etc for durability or is the engine ok with sc? I can hardly imagine..

Yes, I can see it now. Did not remember how it was fitted since my brakes was gone for a week when painted. Thanks

I like to have a little Individual cars, but at the same time not over the top :)

No, the kompressor kit is built to cope with original Internals. The pressure is just 0.35 bar. The Bmw clutches is really good and don't need an upgrade for this low torque kit.

Waiting for News from the Kompressor Kit

They are a little slow at ESS, I have been promissed to pick up the Z for some days now. But it is still not finished

 

[Kev92]

What did they say how many hours they Need for install? Cause the Kit Looks easy to install on Pictures.
I just dont know about the mapping. Hope you stay without any error Motor codes...

Do you have a Performance/ Drift Box? It would be very interesting to see times (100-200km/h)
