Any more information on this? I'd be tempted to upgrade my brakes to help with driving on these mountain roads.

Want to improve performance, go with a more aggressive pad. Larger calipers won't help you stop any better.

Thank you for this. Any recommendations on pads? Seems like mine are acting up and ready to be replaced after only 25k miles.

May I ask what M sport callipers fitted on yours please ?
I have a 2017 M sport 20d which I am looking for upgrading my callipers.

Thanks

I highly recommend: https://www.crossdrilledrotors.ca/bm...?brake_type=80

They have the performance version with ventilated, cross-drilled and slotted however I find that the "Premium" kits are the best value. You get stainless rotors that are zinc plated/koted with ceramic brake pads and all the hardware including this shims. You only need the sensors that are $50 Canadian Dollars from OEM per pair. Your also get 18 month warranty/60K Kms for $286 Canadian. The rear brakes don't wear out as fast. These will outlast many other brands...You will have to pay for shipping if you're located in the US. I've been using their products for years as many other friends of mine and I'm truly impressed with the quality, durability and performance. Also you'll have a hard time beating the price.

The EUR market (the one that we receive here in Mexico too) has the option to fit M-brakes in the X1 LCI. You can find the parts here: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=34_2781

Here you have an example configuration (in Spanish): https://configure.bmw.com.mx/es_MX/configid/b6m6j2d8

BMW states that the bigger brakes (360x30 rotor + M-calipers) should fit in 18" wheels (first screenshot), but I should go to 19" just to be sure (second screenshot).

I made a quick estimate time ago, and the cost was too high to make a conversion in my 2017 X1, similar to a WilWood set, which IMO are way better.

So I will fit a set of EBC Brakes (slotted rotors + yellow-stuff pads) and SS brake lines; maybe I will change the brake fluid too (Castrol Ultra or Motul). You can choose drilled rotors instead, but slotted are harder to crack and works great with yellow-stuff pads, which are designed to support higher temperature without fading. That should give me 30-40% better braking, according to reviews and tests.

You can see a full list of EBC kits here (I attached some pictures too): https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automoti...0)-2015/51013#

Do the LCI calipers fall on non-LCI models, specifically x1 2016-2018? I have a 2017 x1 m sport.

Yes, they do. One user in the forum did the conversion.

Remember that you must replace the mounting bracket, heat/dust shield, pads, and rotor to fit the new (bigger) calipers. Also, I recommend 19" or 20" wheels for appropriate clearance.

Yes, this is completely fit on, make sure your rim must genuine BMW 18" or above

this is what I sold to my customer in Hong Kong couple years ago.
He is driving 2018 X1 18d, 19" BBS rim, offset 45

Do you guys have replaced the servo unit before to apply the M sport breake kit?
