From the looks of it, new m perf brake kits don't have that colorful zinc coating like on new aftermarket brembo kits so I don't think the bedding procedure applies.

Has anyone heard a whistling sound when coming to a stop with the M performance brakes?
I took delivery of my 335 yesterday and the brakes made no sound. Today, i heard a whistling sound when braking to a stop starting at around 10-15 mph. It doesn't do it every time. I have about 200 miles. Any input is appreciated. |

Don't worry, it's normal. Usually it's just a little pebble stuck on the brakes. On my car the squeal will happen for a few days and then go away for a couple weeks, and then come back. It's very common on BMW brakes.

Is it confirm that the M Performance Brake need you to press on the pedal a longer distance compared to the stock? The stock brakes give you a very firm pedal pressure, does the M performance bbk give you that firm pedal feel?
I'm contemplating whether to get the brakes after reading abt the soft pedal feel. My previous ride was on AP Racing and they were fantastic. Good bite and excellent pedal feel. I was hope the M Perf BBK will have this feel and not like stepping on a Logitech G27 on GT6.... |

I have friends with the same brakes and other BMWs and they don't have any brake noise. The dealer that I took it to also said that it wasn't normal. |

Hi folks, and please don't flame me here. I believe this is my first post and this is a f30 forum.
I originally was thinking of getting the f30. But ended up getting an F10 instead. In between my purchase, I actually bought the M performance brake for the F30. Was wondering if anyone could share their insights on whether the brakes can be fitted on an F10. To my knowledge, and just like generic Brembo brakes, all you need to do is to get the right bracket to fit the brakes. Thanks and appreciate it. |

Nice. I have a few questions: The stock F3X 35i front calipers look very similar to the M ones (well, it's bare aluminum and not colorful). Are they the same size? Can we just replace the front rotors with the M slotted and dimpled ones for better braking performance?

Looks like the standard rotors are 340mm, but I found the cross drilled & slotted version for the smaller size as well.

I just ordered the M Performance Brake kit for my F30 from BMW of Mountain View. My install is scheduled for June 1st, so I'll report back after the install regarding the difference. I'm currently running stock 328i brakes.

Just swap the pads and you'll be happy. You can either use the M-Sport pads or I think the F8x standard pads fit as well. |

So I got these installed today on my F32 MSport Coupe. Love the look of them, the touch of colour and the filled out look of the disc.
Driving away from the dealership felt like the car had no brakes. Very soft and mushy. I had expected this from what I'd read here, so will report back in due course after some more miles, but wow... soft. Kind of worried they didn't get the install right, however the dealer insists he re-flushed with new brake fluid, and programmed the on-board to state the correct rotor size. I asked dealer about bedding in, he said "keep it very calm up to 1200 miles". This directly contradicts the other bedding in advice seen on this forum which appears to be "stand on them repeatedly" from high speed (after maybe 125 miles). Also, is there a 'direction' that the rotor needs to be installed? Ie, the slot direction? My fronts, for example, have the slot angled such that the line of the slot is closer to the calliper at the wheel centre, and further away from the calliper at the wheel rim (when looking at it from the side of the car, hope that makes sense). I noticed the OP had his differently mounted on his fronts. Cheers. Last edited by alexkyriak; 09-07-2015 at 04:37 PM.. |

Hi all, just installed my mperf brake kit yesterday, dealer claims to have bled it 3 times, but it's still soft and spongy.
Is this one of those things that get better with time? Cause I don't like having to drive the pedal in each time I wanna kit the brakes moderately. |

I had the same issue. Took it back, they bled it, they confirmed that it was still soft and spongey. They then bled it again, then checked the bearings that they replaced in doing the work, turned out the replacement bearings were not right, replaced them, and the brake feel is fixed. Brake travel is a little longer, but allows great progressive feel on braking. Braking power is very good indeed.
