Msport brake package- "BMW" on front calipers?

Herakles · 08-09-2016, 02:33 PM

I noticed on the 2014 i test drove today- had "BMW" on the front calipers- is this just standard or are they msport brakes/calipers?

I believe Msport brakes are determined by color. If its Blue then you got it, if not then no.

claykin · 08-09-2016, 08:37 PM

The standard 4 piston calipers on the 335 have the BMW logo starting with 7/13 production (MY14) .

JamRWS6 · 08-09-2016, 08:54 PM

M Sport brake cars have blue calipers front and rear with "///M" on them.

zamboni · 08-10-2016, 01:43 AM

Msport brakes came with orange, red and phoenix gold color.

Incorrect. M sport brakes are the blue calipers that are a factory option. M performance brakes must be put on after the fact and come in those colors you just listed.

Do a search I've seen other F30 came with red calipers.

You do a search. If it already came with M Performance Brakes, then it must have been port installed or another reason.

Blue = M Sport Brakes ($650 option)

Red, Orange, Yellow = M Performance Brakes/BBK (Around $2K and requires new Performance brake discs that are dimpled/slotted)

Just another new trend from the Ultimate Accounting Machine, whoops I mean, Ultimate Marketing Machine.

zamboni · 08-11-2016, 11:52 PM

Thinking about switching out the blue calipers to red version.

For the 4-series the "BMW" logo is standard on the calipers, but they are gray. "MSport" calipers are painted and have the "M" logo on there as well. Most of the ones I have seen are blue, but I believe you can get different colors as well.

335=4piston silver/grey with bmw logo
m sport= blue m logo
m performance= red, orange and yellow with dimpled disc

MachinesWithSouls · 08-15-2016, 08:38 PM

Forgive me guys, but I think you missed the OPs question. If you chose M sport, but did not get the upgraded brakes, you still got different brakes than a regular F30. These brakes say BMW on them.

I did not know this until I changed the brakes on my own F30, with the same option setup I just described. Apparently the pad material on these are different than the standard model, but I'm not sure about that.

NightWriter · 08-15-2016, 09:31 PM

Mine have W/// on them? Weird.

rjc32000 · 08-16-2016, 01:01 PM

+1. I've a 2014 M Sport. Mine say BMW on them. My 2013 m Sport did not, which makes me think this was added for 2014.

What are the actual performance differences between the M Sport, M Sport upgrade, and M performance brakes? I have a 2013 328i Sedan with the stock M Sport brakes, fluid, lines, rotors, pads and calipers. I’ve tracked the car quite hard at the Lime Rock and Thompson Speedway road courses in Connecticut (4x25 minute on-track sessions with at least 45 minutes between sessions), and the stock M Sport brakes performed very well. I did increase my braking zones compared to when I’m driving a Spec Miata, but I've experienced no brake fade in the 328i and the bias was very balanced and stable. My point is that the (relatively inexpensive) stock M Sport brakes on the 328i perform very well on the road and track despite the fact that the calipers aren’t painted or flaunting logos.

AS per BMW only the front is with the upgraded package you get the rear

jdang9 · 08-18-2016, 10:51 AM

I have a 13 335i M Sport Package, but I don't think I have ///M calipers. I'd like to install them, but idk if I should since they current standard ones (I think) are still pretty good.

I believe the newer models come with only the front
