Blue m sport calipers upgrade

Hey everyone, i have a good deal on changing my grey calipers on my 340i to the blue calipers.

What do i be cautious for since it will not be installed at the official dealer:

1- do i need bigger rotors front or back?
2-does it need coding?
3- are there any sensors have to be mkved from the old to the new calipers?

Thanks guys, appreciate the help.

Hi,
1. yes you need different rotors and brake pads
2. yes, you need to VO code them.
3. you need to transfer (or buy new ones) the old brake pads sensors to the new pads.

Thanks so much.

Why does it need coding?

Probably because the dsc system needs to know that the car got different brakes to react differently in emergency situations.
