Hello!

Platform BMW E70/E71 F15/F16 F85/F86.
In all the geometry of knuckles and hubs is identical.

Thus, on before mentioned cars you can install following brake kits:

1) Kit №1 — Sports braking gear retooling kit M-Performance, in substance it’s a braking gear system of BMW X5M E70 (X6M E71)
Primitive 4-pot caliper is a significant drawback.

It’s different from Kit №1 as it contains high-tech brake caliper and  original M brake pads are used.

Though, there is a fly in an ointment.

Laziness of a BMW construction engineer (otherwise I can’t explain why) was the reason why the geometry of brake pads 395-36__385-24 BMW X5M E70 and BMW X5M F85 absolutely identical!
Apart from the adjusting screw hole of rear axle.. which makes no difference..
So, this way we have a very wide brake rotor blade and an increased weight.
