Does anyone know the size of the brakes and type of calipers?

I've see the base i4 and it doesn't appear to have performance brakes. Then the base M50 has brembos. The tech package M50 looks to have larger discs and calipers.

Anyone know?

Waiting on my Tanzanite M50!

There are 3 types:

• 374mm/345mm rotors, painted 4-fixed piston front calipers (large), 1-sliding piston rear caliper
• 348mm/345mm rotors, painted 4-fixed piston front calipers (medium), 1-sliding piston rear caliper
• 348mm/345mm rotors, unpainted 4-fixed piston front calipers (small), 1-sliding piston rear caliper

I am sad that, to get the bigger discs and calipers, I need to also get the bigger wheels. I may swap to smaller wheels later, if I can get suitably wide tires.

The M Performance brake kit is the same 374mm OEM brake setup of the 20” wheel option, but with slotted/dimpled rotors. And can be used with 18” wheels with wide barrels.

Are the calipers cast iron or AL?

Aluminum fixed-piston, iron sliding-piston calipers.

On a similar note, do you guys know if the brake kit on the e40 with Msport is the same size as the one on the M50? From the images on the web portal they "look" like the same brakes however, it doesn't give any details specifically.

The e40 has the small brake setup standard in the USA; the M50 has the medium setup (2NH) standard, and the big brake setup (33T) optional.

Aw man...the pics doesn't indicate smaller pads as the image looks like it stayed the same. dangit. I gotta take a look at the order again to see if I missed something. Thanks again Techic

I think that the rotor size is the same 348mm, but the caliper is the smallest.

Sorry to revive a 2+ year old thread, but I just wanted to confirm; This is a photo of the 19" 860m aero wheel fitted over the 33T M Sport brake caliper that normally comes with the 20" wheels?

This is the standard brake setup of the EDrive35/40 - 348x30 / 330x20 rotors.
