Paragon 370/378mm BBK group buy

Cross posting this from the E90 forum as the Paragon folks have told me the F8x kit is eligible as well.

Original post: https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2039164

I've been talking to the Paragon folks for a few weeks now after being turned on to them by another forum member. They have 2 piece floating rotors w/ aluminum hats and a 6 piston caliper. The rotors are 36mm thick instead of the stock 30 and have a high directional vane count. They advertise it as working with stock rears and not causing bias / DSC issues. I know that the person that turned me on to them is running that configuration (stock rears) on track.

This is the kit:

I reached out to them to see if they'd do a GB for us and they've offered us a pretty sweet deal:

1. Minimum of 10 participants required
2. 10-19 entrants: 15% discount, 20+ entrants: 20% discount.
3. Group buy start date: Aug 7th, 2023
4. Group buy end date: Aug 21st, 2023 (subject to a 2-week extension)
5. $1,000 flat rate deposit required to lock in group buy entry *applicable to all orders, for each participant
6. Remaining balance required within 48 hours of group buy end date
7. Shipping will begin within 1 month after group buy end date
8. 10% CA sales tax for CA residents

Disclaimer: I don't get anything extra for putting this together. I've already ordered my kit and will use it either way, they'll just credit me the GB discount if we hit the minimums.

If you're interested, drop your name in the thread below (I'll keep an updated list on this post so people can see), and then put the deposit down directly to them, they've set up a checkout page for it:

I'll do my best to get answers to questions as they come up.

Keeping the thread in sync with the E9x forum.. we're up to 6 deposits, and the GB has been extended until 9/4. I just received mine and installed it, super happy so far. Check out the other thread for full deets.

I’m running an 18x10 apex arc-8 and they fit just fine, but I would print their fitment template and check it on the wheel directly.
