    Just wondering, would brake discs from newer BMWs fit E34?

    E34:

    E60:


    E65:

    Same bolt pattern (5x120), same center bore(79mm)...

    Observe D, B, H

    How you would fit caliper to make it work with dimension D and B being different?

    What would happen with larger H dimension?

    Replacing brake fluid completely (flushing) and new pads + calipers would usually make big improvement already.

    Well, with custom-made adapter/carrier.

    I am really curious about the D dimension.
    There are kits for bigger brakes on Lada, but they cost a lot and seem to be high-performance Fiat ones(because the bolt pattern is the same), but their D and H dimensions are different.
    What effects would that have?
