They are thinner too and I am pretty sure the Caliper piston is bigger on the e36 m3 then the 330i - performance wise I think e36 m3 is still better, but the 330i has a bigger rotor so may look cooler.. of course it works fine too.

I think:
E36 M3 front 60 vs E46 330 front 57

*specs brought to you by google.

Oh and lastly, apparently the pads are exactly the same. So e36 m3 > e46 330i
you are right the rotors are bigger in diameter. thats what i meant when i said bigger.

to me having it bolt on without any hub replacement was good enough.

then mate it with E34 rear brakes to balance the brake biase


by the way guys for the sake of this thread, i went with ground control.

cant beat their thanksgiving sale. $1500 shipped
