        You can't easily put E36 M3 brakes on an E28... two things: 1) even
though the bolt pattern is the same, the rotor hat depth is completely
different and 2) There's no way to attach to calipers other than a set of
custom brackets.  Thanks to Jason Lile (www.zionsvilleautosport.com) and
Michel Potheau for this info awhile ago.

    Basically, the answer is no.  I looked into that before doing the RL/BB
(LOL!!!) E32 upgrade.

    You could just spend $4500+ for a set of Baer Racing 4- or 6-piston
Alcon calipers with 13", 14", or 15" rotors.  Ayuh.
