Well, I BLOODY hope so.

I decided that I had a choice after selling the M5. I could either sell the kit, or keep it (as I will never get the deal I did on these ever again).

But, it was never going to be an easy job. Dropped the car down to Godspeed in Bridgend to let them do the deed. It was supposed to be a 2 day turnaround, so when I dropped it down last Wednesday, the plan was to pick it up on Friday....hmmmm.

They tried test fitting the kit and the original thought was that just custom brackets would be needed. But got a phone call Wednesday afternoon saying it would have to be new hats instead and some tweaking to the brackets.

Today, I finally got an email of the new hats and then the kit test fitted before the hats get anodised.

So here you go:

Rear Hats


Front Hats


And finally how it will look on the rear






And then the fronts behind the Rim






Picking up the X tomorrow so will take some proper pics then.

For those that don't know, the kit consists of:
- 6 pot ST60 Stoptech Calipers with 380x35mm discs front with new custom hats
- 4 pot ST45 Stoptech Calipers with 380x32mm discs rear with new custom hats
- EBC Yellow Stuff Pads front/rear.

Hope you like.....

Excellent mate! Got quite a few things to do sunday but hopefully shouldn't take long!

Some very smart work there mate

Cheers for the comments. They are huge brakes and fill the 20s nicely. They were awesome on my 530d round the Ring. Finally picked up the X from Godspeed in Bridgend yesterday. Will post some proper pics once I've washed it tomorrow.

Took some more side on pics of the X with the BBKs fitted. They really suit the X5 so much.

Now then Raj, that looks like some serious stopping power

Brembo's always look good, but they look great on your X.

I wouldn't be supprised to see to see a few copying you

Thanks. The pics just don't do them justice. I thought the brakes looked good on my 530d and then M5 but the X5 just looks so right.

Still got ICE, retrim, respray, exhaust, wheels..... it's never ending...
