260 front caliper query
Hi: i have a Feb 2004 Mk 1 260 (no 95 in Trophy Blue) with just 41k on the clock: had it about 9.5 years. Through lack of use the n/s/f caliper piston(s) is sticking and so requires attention. Where is the best place please to get an overhaul kit or for that matter a pair of calipers if that is required? Presumably they are the same as a 190 or am i mistaken? Advice appreciated.
Thanks and regards Steve |

Are we saying front calipers are the same for 190 and 260, but the rears are different? Also, any advice on where to get both front and rear seal kits for the 190 would be most welcome? |

I have fitted the refurb kit AND replaced the front right caliper (after a mishap with a tapping out the bleed nipple ). They are good quality, and fit properly.
the caliper to my eye was identical, and they claim to be new - so much so, I would suggest they were OEM (in the true sense of the term). Search for Budweg for the manufacturer's website.

Rear seal kit (vented discs - vented disc calipers use a different sized piston to the non vented discs) search for Budweg's website with the part numbers listed, also yields the BMW equivalent fitments for the calipers for future reference.

Parts ordered for front and back and much relief on my part that all the wire brushing and cleaning and painting wasn't wasted! |
