M6 Brakes/Rotors on 650?
Guys
I'm thinking of getting the 650 LCI in a couple of months. Does anyone know if the M6 brakes and rotors can be retrofitted to the 650? |

I'm no expert but I think they could be retrofitted.. The only issue i can think of that you may run into would be wheel offset clearance, then you could just run a set of spacers

You need to spend 5-6K just for brakes if you don't want to change the wheels. After all your car is considered modified and for sure the brake warranty will be voided. In top of that you are doing a favor to dealers to deny any repair/service related to brakes (ie bearing , alignment, etc) under warranty. Also, M6 has high performance brakes and one of the major issue with this type of brakes is the crack close to holes on rotors that will be appeared at 15k+ miles. In a 36 months lease you need at least one time brake replacement (rotors+pads). So basically you are paying a total of almost 9-10K for this modification which is about 250-300 per months on top of your regular payment for 650i! You can get an M6 with this money!

I think you guys are a little bit off with the M6 payment compared to the 650.. For example i took a fully loaded M-sport White on red 650 for $1k a month with nothing out of pocket, not 1 dime.. For the M6 at the same time I was negotiating that deal, they wanted $10k down and $1500 a month, so $500 more and $10k out of pocket, that was the best they were willing to do. If it was only $5k down and $1300 a month I would have considered it, but they would not budge at all on them.

Guys check out R1 Concept rotors. You can get a set of upgraded ones for your 650i on all 4 quarters for less than $1k installed by your shop and have both the look of BBK and better performance without the cost of $5-7k that Bembro would cost you. Unless you need the performance of a BBK and are going to track the car (not a 650i's true forte or an M6) then IMHO other options such as R1 Concepts exist. Ping LACSTER on the forums...he can direct you towards them. That's the path I chose. Looks great so far.

I am sure it can be done as a few 550 owners have put M5 brakes on but this is far from a bolt on exercise. The M5/M6 suspension is very different from the series cars and includes integrated caliper mounts. LTBMW made a bracket for series cars to retrofit.
