Brake Changes from 15' vs 16'+?

///Mvy · 05-14-2021, 12:00 PM

The previous owner broke off the bleeder nipple in my rear passenger brake caliper. I tried to extract using a reverse bit extractor but the aluminum caliper ended up breaking before the bolt let go. I guess I know why the bleeder broke off now...

Anyways, I'm trying to source a caliper. The only one I've found used is from a 2017 M4 which states that it fits 16'-19's. It says that it doesn't fit 15' but these online catalogs are notoriously inaccurate in my experience.

Any insight if this 17' caliper would fit a 15' M3?

I'll answer my own question - I just called Turner and they said it's the same part number. I'm going to purchase the used one.
