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

The SRP version of this BMW front conversion supplies drilled/slotted 13.06-inch rotors and black Superlite 6R calipers. Compatibility is specific to the listed M3 and Z3 M Roadster configurations; the general Z3 name is not enough to select the kit. Founded in 1977 by Bill Wood and based in Camarillo, California, Wilwood Engineering designs and manufactures disc brake systems and components for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. Its range includes calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines, selected to work together within a properly matched 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.

Check the full application table below, including its model-year splits and brake-configuration requirements.
