Electric for brake change? i4 original brake upgrade.

The G26 i4 has gained popularity ever since its launch. It's an electric car that is also a sports car, with a snappy sense of control. The regular version of i4 already packs about 340hp while the top version, M50, brings that all the way up to 544hp. Naturally, with great power comes regret or responsibility (yeah I said what I said), so in order to emphasize on the latter variant, some owners will go for a high performance brake kit right from the start.
The M Performance brake kit comes with a 4 Pot caliper in the front and a 1 Pot caliper at the rear, together with 395mm and 345mm discs.
Here's more info on this brake kit:

And here's the final result (part 1):

Generally, for electronic cars, eSys is the way to go.

Pressure bleed is all you need for caliper change.

You can clamp the line then swap the caliper and pressure bleed.

Pressure bleeding is easy.
Just make sure the bleeder and reservoir don't go empty.
