Product details

Red six-piston calipers accompany the SRP rotor pair in this BMW M front package. The kit provides radial mounting brackets, hats and pads for the documented 13.06-inch installation on retained factory hubs. Bill Wood founded Wilwood Engineering in 1977; the company is based in Camarillo, California. Wilwood designs and manufactures calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines as part of its disc brake systems and component range for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. Each component must suit the requirements of the complete brake installation.

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.

The table below gives the detailed vehicle coverage; match the individual entry and each referenced note.
