Look for a set of front brake calipers, preferably in perfect condition. Alternatively if anyone knows where to get some new or remanufactured ones in stock, will take that too.
who is Tom Baruch?Hi Charles - call Tom Baruch. I think he has a pair.
I think that was rears only?I think I remember seeing a post here that W&N has new calipers for sale, no cores necessary.
You are correct, rear onlyI think that was rears only?
Hi Mark -- Tom is a friend of mine; part owner of a good independent repair shop just outside DC. Retired now. Restored a bunch of coupes, raced a couple, still drives one.who is Tom Baruch?
My point, you can probably find E3, not E9 vented, the difference is the spacer and the bolts, which you have if you have the old ones

Interesting, looks like fronts onlyW&N sells the spacer and bolts to go from
solid to vented.

More than likely the route I will have to take, but was looking for some in like new condition to match the restoration to be one less thing to do. All signs point to none being in existence, and all the remans I have found (including the ones I bought) are incorrect, and for the earlier 2800cs or E3 with solid discs. The rebuild kits are available, and ironically, I sold the BMW OEM rebuild kit I had.Are rebuild kits available? Seems to me a great solution is to just service the ones from your car. Not difficult, it is economical, and quite rewarding.
I had a pair rebuilt through Jim at Mesa Performance.
