So I'm paying $3k+ for better rear brake calipers and upgraded rotors? Unless you track the car you won't notice much at all.

That's not far off. I did notice a difference with the larger rotors and different pads but you're right that the base BMW has a great set of brakes to start with. When it comes to appearance, no comparison. You can find that brake kit online for around $2k from dealers so not a bad deal especially if you install yourself.

I'd rather just get them powder coated for about $400-$500 with BMW decals lol. The yellows are usually on sale, but I really want the orange haha. No way I'm paying $2,400 for them though.

Still have those pygmy rotors though the rear calipers, even though still 2 piston, do look a bit different with the BBK

@ZTZ1010…great system. I just installed mine and I love it, especially after flashing to accommodate it. By any chance do you recall what the tip inlet diameter was. I got the 102 chromes based on availability but I don’t really like them.

any difference between AWE vs Dinan midpipe both seemed to be made with T304 steel so guessing both are in same quality. Depending on which midpipe I get in future I may add their respective axle back exhaust.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

AWE midpipe is resonated, its going to get you a cleaner tone
