Wilwood Front 13.06-Inch GT-Slotted Brake Kit — Black Superlite 6R for BMW M3 E36 (1995–1999) & Z3 M Roadster (1998–2001)

This black-caliper front kit is specified for the E36 M3 and qualifying Z3 M Roadster applications. Its six-piston Superlite calipers work with 13.06-inch GT rotors on separate hats, leaving the original BMW hubs in place. From its base in Camarillo, California, Wilwood Engineering designs and manufactures disc brake systems for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. Founded by Bill Wood in 1977, the company also produces the individual calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines used in these installations. Selection should account for how each component works within the complete brake system.

Fitment & Compatibility

The confirmed applications are 1995–1999 BMW M3 E36 and 1998–2001 Z3 M Roadster with the 3.2-liter engine. This is not a general Z3 kit. Retain the original hubs and verify the factory spindle and brake configuration against the exact model entry.

Use DS495 to check bracket seating, caliper alignment and wheel clearance. Separate hose kit 220-8799 supplies the Wilwood-compatible hydraulic connections. The hat-hole clearance specification does not change the BMW hub bolt pattern.
