Calling all 2gurus. I lately purchased a lease return 2021 230i xdrive with 30k. I find it irresistible.
I’ve a number of older BMWs (2 E36 M3s and a 1969 2002) I autocross and do monitor days. I’ve completed engine swaps.
This automotive is my Day by day. It’s changing a 2005 330Ci sport coupe that had reached 210k and was beginning to have severe electrical gremlins.
The paperwork from the seller says it has 07AC Sport Line, 0ZPP Premium Package deal and 0346 Chrome Line Exterior Trim.
I would like to switch the rear brake pads.
Once I buy groceries A lot of the typical distributors checklist M Sport Brakes with painted calipers.
This automotive has the Brembo fastened calipers (4 Piston Entrance and a couple of Piston Rear) and the massive rotors. BUT the calipers are plain unpainted grey.
I spoke with a tech at ECS. He ran my full VIN and mentioned I had customary brakes with the one piston and the smaller rotors!
The automotive has sport seats and steering wheel. Paddle shifters. I’ve searched and located no point out of those stealth Brembo Calipers. The automotive is gorgeous. It’s spotlessly clear and wasn’t abused in any respect. It was a lease so I might doubt somebody would add these brakes. It looks as if they changed the entrance pads however not the rears a while earlier than returning the automotive for the reason that fronts are high-quality however rears are right down to 2mm.
I understand this was close to the tip of the F22 automobiles. did they begin emptying the elements bin or is that this a typical setup for Sport Line automobiles?
I’ve a set of Akebono EUR1656 coming for the rear and I’m planning to place EUR1880s on the entrance if these match.
Thanks for making it by means of this novel. It is lengthy as a result of i feel it helps to inform the entire story.
Additionally it was once pretty straightforward to discover a VIN checker on-line however I have never discovered something the works. I attempted working the VIN on RealOem and it did not work there both.
