So I've had my 525i for about 6 months. About a week ago I had the caliper bolts fail on the right rear brake, and smashed it's self into the rotor shield. Cut the brake line and broke the caliper arm. So I've tried to get the OEM caliper replaced, but it's not available, so the best option I could come up with is to upgrade the rear brakes to the 540i brakes which are available.

Does anyone have any advise or something I might not be thinking of when doing this swap.

Well

My local parts store screwed up and gave me the parts for the front, not rear. And because I have a good working relationship with them, they're willing to cut the cost to the point it's actually a savings to do the upgrade.

Which is why the thread is called brake upgrade. I just told the backstory on why I have to do it.

Good call on the link if I was going to go that way though. Thank you.
