Does anyone have a clue what the real number really is? If the 328i can do 107 feet, then the 335i must do better, right? And what about a 335i with the M Performance Braking System? Must be in double digits and under 99 feet by then? |
Tires are one of the most (if not the most) important factor for the 60-0 figure.
Keep this in mind when comparing 60-0 distance figures. Pilot super sports on the 328i would give a substantially different result than all seasons.
ETA: I see this has been covered... but it was worth repeating.
Obviously heat transfered to the brakes, a function of weight and brake design, will be a major factor for repeated or prolonged brake usage.
