"Brembo high-performance 4-piston aluminum fixed caliper on the front axle and 2-piston aluminum fixed caliper on the rear axle. Improved thermal resistance thanks to larger, internally-ventilated, lightweight-construction sports brake discs. Drilled (dimpled) and grooved brake discs also reduce water film build-up between the brake lining and the disc surface. Available in M Performance Red, Yellow or Orange – all with an M logo on the outside of the caliper. Drilled and grooved, internally-ventilated lightweight brake disks with riveted aluminum hat measuring 370 x 30 mm (diameter x thickness) on the front axle and 345 x 24 mm on the rear axle (rear brake discs must be ordered separately).

The BMW M Performance sports brake system is only approved in combination with at least 18" aluminum wheels."

Not sure to be honest, but there is the sizes for the discs... 370/345mm... does anyone know the size of the OEM ones? They look bigger.

Cheers

I'm guessing the description must mean from normal brakes to these. But from M brakes to M performance maybe they are same or similar sized discs Derek...



Edit: Doh... appear to be comparing front vs rear here! Will dig out another piccie.

Why did you buy the whole kit when you already had the upgraded M-sports?
You could have just bought the discs as the rest is identical?

Red might look nicer though. And I guess you could sell the old ones too...

Yeah I did go through the process of questioning this myself... but it is giving me:

Vented/Drilled discs
Coloured calipers (4/2 same config as M Brakes)
Better brake pads

The cost after I sold my existing system was around what I'd be paying to have the front and rear M perf. parts carbon skinned...

Are the pads different? Didn't know that.
Too bad though that they don't have a dust-free option.

Some piccies from yesterday... will find a nicer spot for something a bit better sometime.







Very pleased. Yes it's very similar to the blue setup but is different hence the reason for doing it.

The pads are more of a sport pad, and also fit the M135i for some reason. There is a note in the car saying I need to contact my parts guy before it goes in for servicing so he can order them in specially.

I would imagine M Performance kit would be cheaper than to buy each individual caliper and disc of the M Sport set up.

They are the same, except M P you get 3 colour choices, and grooved front discs.
