The M-Sport brakes (2NH) are a $650 option and they are NOT the same as the standard brakes. Here are the details, based on your model:
Original Brakes on 335dx, 335i are:
Front rotor: 340x30mm (Millimeter) / Brake Caliper with 4 pistons
Rear rotor: 330x20mm / Brake Caliper with 1 piston
Original Brakes on all other models are:
Front rotor: 330x24mm (Millimeter) / Brake Caliper with 1 piston
Rear rotor: 300x20mm / Brake Caliper with 1 piston
Pricelist Option (Factory upgrade) with 2NH M Sport Brakes (blue colored) will bring that to:
Front rotor: 370mm (Millimeter) / Brake Caliper with 4 pistons (for 328i, 335i, 325d, 330d, 335dx)
Front rotor: 340mm / Brake Caliper with 4 pistons (models below 328i/325d)
Rear rotor: 345mm / Brake Caliper with 2 pistons (on all models)
(So the 2NH option one can order from the factory is different. It is not the same for a "high power" or "low power" model!
High power models (328i, 335i, 325d, 330d, 335dx) get 370mm diameter rotor in the front. Others get 340mm rotor in the front. But the brake caliper will always be blue color)
