Affordable track brake setup

I can’t really afford a huge BBK but the brakes are the priority for upgrading before I go to the track again. Ruined all my fun but I only have the base 312mm front rotors on my 430i. I do have hawk pads and use their fluid but I definitely need something like the m sport brembos, like $2100 from getbmwparts. Can someone offer some advice on an affordable track oriented setup?

Get the M performance brakes for the F32. I have these on my 435. The front rotors are 370mm & the rears are 345mm I believe. 4 POT front, 2 POT rear.

At one point I ran Powerstop track day pads with Motul RBF fluid on the track. It was insane. The stopping power was ridiculous. At night you could see sparks fly up LOL

That's the M Performance brake kit you're looking at, not M Sport. They have the same calipers (4/2 pot Brembos) but the M Performance version accomodate larger rotors due to a slightly different mounting area.

Check out post #10 in this thread. johnung lays out a bunch of options, and he knows his stuff. https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1676659

The M performance brakes are phenomenal. I drove a friends 335i equipped with the oem bmw M performance brakes at Buttonwillow in the summer and it had no problem with fade or feel. He did have Endle$$ fluid though.
