It looks like a good job well done Marc. Im interested in the Range Rover calipers? Do they fit ok on stock carriers or have you made some new carriers for them?

Hi Marc - I'm another one interested in the E46 disc conversion (will be fitting 19'wheels to my MC and thinking of going with the larger diameter M3CSL discs just to fill out the wheel arches a bit more). Have seen a couple of people at Z3MCoupe.com who had it done and they had an engineering place in Germany machine up the caliper brackets - wasn't cheap but I'm more put off by the language barrier etc so would be keen to hear more about getting it down locally.

So would appreciate it if you would post up some more detail when it's done - be interested in pricing on the calipers as well. Cheers ...
