Best option would be to source 374mm calipers and paint them red!
For example, I have a few sets of unpainted 374mm calipers for sale at considerably less than the cost of this upgrade! |

They are only 374mm caliper bodies - you are paying a massive premium for the caliper to be painted and the addition of slotted / dimples brake discs. If you are a m340i owner with the blue 374mm you are literally fitting the same brakes again with the addition of red paint & new discs. If you are a regular G20 owner with the blue 348mm set up, there are much cheaper ways to upgrade to either 374mm or 395mm!! |

But are they identical or are they different? Yes, they are the same size... But do the M-Performance brakes perform better? I'm not doubting you. I just want the facts. If same size means same performance couldn't you say the same thing about the M-Performance exhaust - it's the same size as the original exhaust so you're paying $1500 for the M-Performance logo stamped on it? |

Just like there are no mechanical differences between the red G30 / G11 M Perf calipers and the blue 395mm calipers. The pad part number is also the same (34106888459) If you are a G20 owner who only has blue 348mm front brakes then you will benefit from the M Perf upgrade, but only on front. Your rear would already be 345mm and remain 345mm, except your calipers would now be red. If you are a G20 owner who has 374mm blue brakes currently - then this upgrade simply changes your caliper colour and adds dimpled / slotted discs. You do not increase the size of your brakes at all. If you are a G20 owner who does not have the M Sport brake option, then you will benefit fully from the upgrade! In comparison, I have sold lots of grey (unpainted) 374mm caliper sets, with discs to people and once painted they have a much cheaper brake upgrade. The same with the 395mm calipers, although not offered by BMW - they bolt up perfectly to the G20 hub, along with the 395mm brake discs. |

I have a 2020 330xi without track handling package (so no blue brakes) but interested in an upgrade to the blue M-sport/performance. I like the aesthetics but also have felt the current brakes a little lacking at higher speeds on the autobahn in Germany. Is it simply buying the bigger calipers or is it a complete set/package with other components? Anyone willing to post link or send me some info for a reputable/good way to do this, if it's possible? Thanks |

That's what it looks like. You can choose blue or red.
