Our conversion

Our customer Daniel sent us the following components:

Front axle E36 Z3
Brake caliper: BMW E38 Brembo 4 piston part no. left: 34 11 1 163 757 right: 34 11 1 163 758
Brakepad: BMW E38 Brembo 4 piston part no.:34 11 6 761 254
Then we plugged the components together once to determine the required tuning adapter for the brake conversion. Here we could see that we had to clarify whether there was any obstruction on the car side. Daniel told us that there was no obstruction , so we could continue with the development.

3-D Prototyping

The finished prototype is tested directly at our premises to see if it fits the front axle of the BMW E36 Z3.

We always work with a 3D-model in advance, because it always happens that certain dimensions and conditions cannot be taken into account in advance. With the 3D model, we can be sure that everything fits

Production

After Daniel's approval we machine the brake caliper tuning adapter for the BMW E36 Z3 with the E38 4-piston brake system and the E36 M3 325x28mm brake disc.

Afterwards, we send the tuning adapter to the surface refiner, and as soon as it has arrived back at our premises, it is sent directly to Daniel.
