Bottom bracket question

This might be a daft question but my current Bronson has a RaceFace BB fitted which need replacing. If I was to buy another such as an M8000 XT BB would this fit OK with the current RaceFace cranks what are on or do I need to fit another RaceFace BB to suit the cranks?

It is the standard 73mm threaded type BB.

Thanks

    Raceface are usually x-type BB which is interchangeable with Shimano HTII.

    Thanks. It is an x-type so I will go for an M8000 hollow tech then :)

    Pay the extra and buy the shimano xtr bottom bracket bb93, these last longer than the ordinary xt ones.
