M Sports Brakes
Does anyone know the pricing of these?
I'm not sure what specs they are.. I'm thinking it could just be the 335 rotors + blue callipers..?? I've been contemplating if I should go m perf brakes for a while now, I am sure some of u are as well. Just couldn't wrap my head around which color would match my black m sports.. the red on black combo has been pretty common, thinking blue on black could be kind of a standout. Thoughts boys? |

I ordered the m sport brakes as an option in the blue so hopefully if I get the car in the next week or so I can show you what black msport car with the blue brakes look like.

I'm sure any workshop that specialises with BMW can fit them for you. |

I have the M Sport brakes on EB colour which worked out well. I was told the M Sport brakes are the same as the BMW Performance brakes except for the colour.

Both the M-Sport and M-Performance brakes have four-piston aluminium caliper on the front axle, two-piston aluminium caliper on the rear axle. The M-Sport & M-Performance brakes are the same size as each other, but larger than stock brakes. The M-Performance brakes are suitable for wheels 18" and larger.

Take it to the track if you will and the M Performance brakes will outlast stock brake fade due to its greater thermal resistance because of details in my post above. That's all.

Can't be right.. if the dealer told you that get him to provide u with the m performance ones. The m performance ones have a diff rotor size and they are slotted

So do you have stock factory brakes? I do and mine bite down very hard very quickly. Maybe you need them seen to.

Mine are the same, if anything, they respond too quickly! I was thinking they would settle down a bit, but 8000km in and they still bite instantly.

I have M performance Sport Brakes. I can't speak for the 335i, but on a 328i the difference is like night and day. I recently drive a loaner 328 x drive and the brakes do not compare.

I was being sloppy with my post there. The "problem" per se is not perhaps initial bite. I came from the X1 which was based on the E90 and it just feels like that the 328i's brakes are not as strong. I don't believe there is a weakness in the braking system and it could be due to improvements made to lessening drivetrain losses and lower rolling resistance tyres. Not in a million years do I think my brakes aren't up to the job and perhaps it is just a case of getting used to the brakes (like I am only just now gotten used to the lighter steering effort and lack of feedback after more than 3000km). But I wouldn't mind something that feels stronger. |

I just called the bmw parts department.. enquired about the m sports brakes.. they didn't have any clue what i was talking about.
Asked for pricing again on the m performance brakes gave me a whole different story where the brake kit does not come with the brake disc.. Sigh.. apparently I have very high expectation for people to know what they are talking about. |
