Brembo Big Brake Kits for BMW F82 M4 (2015-2020)

Every Brembo big brake kit we offer for the 2015-2020 BMW F82 M4 is on this page, front and rear, in GT, GT-S, GT-R and PISTA form. The S55 twin-turbo six makes the M4 very fast between corners, and track days quickly show the limits of the factory iron brakes. A Brembo system replaces the calipers and discs at the axle you choose with a matched caliper, 2-piece disc and pad package.

Brembo lists the M4 kits by brake package, so each kit name starts with whether your car has BMW's carbon-ceramic brakes. Most front kits fit cars with or without them. The 365x34mm front kit and the 345x28mm rear kit are for cars without carbon-ceramics, and the rear kits are split by brake package.

Choosing Your Kit

• Kit: start with your brake package, then the axle and kit. Front kits for cars with or without carbon-ceramic brakes include GT 6-piston kits on 380x34mm or 405x34mm discs, each offered with two caliper families (N and T in Brembo's catalog), and three PISTA kits: a 4-piston billet caliper and a 6-piston forged monobloc caliper on 380x34mm discs, and a 6-piston forged caliper on 380x35mm discs. Cars without carbon-ceramics can also choose a GT 6-piston front kit on 365x34mm discs. Rear kits come in two sets: without carbon-ceramics (GT 4-piston on 345x28mm or 380x28mm discs, plus two PISTA kits) and with carbon-ceramics (GT 4-piston on 380x28mm discs, plus a PISTA kit). The 380x28mm GT rear kits come with two caliper families, P and S.
• Finish: the N caliper front kits, the 365x34mm front kit, the 345x28mm rear kit and the P caliper rear kits come in black, red, silver or yellow, plus GT-S (black hard-anodized) and GT-R (billet-machined and nickel-plated). The T and S caliper kits come in black, red, yellow or fluorescent yellow. The PISTA billet and monobloc kits come clear anodized; the other PISTA kits come in one standard finish. Finishes a kit does not offer cannot be selected for that kit.
• Disc Type: Drilled discs suit street cars. Type 1 Slotted is a street and occasional-track choice. Type 3 Slotted is aimed at regular track days and is offered on every kit except the 365x34mm front kit. Type 5 Slotted is offered on several PISTA kits for racing.

FAQ

How do I know if my M4 has carbon-ceramic brakes?
Carbon-ceramic brakes were a factory option on the M4. They have gold calipers and grey, cross-drilled discs. If you are not sure, send us your VIN and we will confirm.

Which front kit is the usual choice?
For a street car that sees track days, the GT 6-piston kit on 380x34mm discs is the common pick. The 405x34mm kits give the most capacity but need larger wheels.

What is the difference between the N and T caliper kits?
Both are 6-piston GT calipers on the same disc sizes. Brembo lists them as two caliper families with different finish choices: the N caliper offers silver, GT-S and GT-R, and the T caliper offers fluorescent yellow.

Fitment Notes

All kits on this page are listed by Brembo for the BMW M4 (F82), 2015-2020. Front GT and PISTA kits other than the 365x34mm kit are listed for cars with or without carbon-ceramic brakes. Rear kits are listed separately for each brake package. The PISTA rear kits are listed with parking-brake provision. Where a rear system keeps a drum-in-hat parking brake inside the aluminum bell, Brembo rates it for parking and emergency use only. The GT-R 6-piston caliper needs different wheel clearance from the GT 6-piston caliper. Brembo GT systems are designed for cars at original ride height. Many PISTA installs need the factory dust shield modified or removed.

Each kit fits the vehicles listed below. Confirm wheel clearance before ordering.
