I was staring at my brakes today and realized if I didn't have them on my ride life just wouldn't be the same

One of my favourite upgrades ever!

Could that be because different pads?

The calipers and rotor size are the same vs the blue 370mm ones.

Although the slotted and drilled ones like mine look great, I'm sure they are noisier than your blanks. If there was a blank option I probably would have taken it.

Yea agreed. Love the slotted/drilled look but based on the feedback here (from many members) I opted for the blanks. I may end up doing 2 piece lightweight rotor next time around, but that is a long ways out... happy with how my current setup looks, performs and feels... so thats all that matters to me

I think you're right relative to the blue ones, but my car came with the brake system beneath that (grey). The sensitivity of the brake pedal feels significantly more immediate after installation.

Great looking car! I had same brakes/wheels on 335i and got most compliments on those (also had MPE). Don't miss the heavy brake dust, but looked and performed great.

As soon as the stock ones are semi cooked I'm going to get the yellow ones, on the black car, just like that pic.

Is anyone bothering to change the lines while the calipers are out? Stainless lines (hoses) are so nice but I haven't really seen anyone do it with the f30.

I will probably sell off the OEM pads / rotors, if I cannot buy just the caliper parts. I always ran cheap rotors and hawk pads and the best fluid. To me good brakes are quite fun...

Nice pics .. would like to see the CSL/arc8 wheels
