They look really great, are they any good at stopping the car? feel, fade, cold application etc?

Looks amazing Marc, a great mod, be sure to let us know how they perform. I wish bmw had offered something like this for our zeds, as they did with other bmws.
I know you said you'll leave it alone now but you've said that before! I've heard murmurings of a supercharger!

I've reckon they will be a big improvement, it's a generalisation but I think brake feel and confidence inspiring 'firmness' is a bit lacking on BMW's of this era. I'm not sure what it is because the spec's are decent on paper but they tend to feel a bit 'soft'?D4dawg wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2017 11:34 amNo idea at mo buddy

I drove a new mid range Vauxhall Astra Sri jobby the other day and the brakes were firm and eye-popping by comparison to BMW's I've driven. Good luck for Tuesday

When I read the title of this post I was a bit apprehensive about clicking as I thought you were going to be comparing notes with Mike Ducklakeview's new SnapOn gear!
But the sexy brake calipers look...pretty smexy E85 3.0i roadie (03) 'Benny'. E93 320d M-Sport Cabrio (11) 'Bob'.

Imagine if bmw then the M guys had the cars to do their magic and had to factor in price and overall cost to include brembos all round
Something else where would have been sacrificed
Personally I think they should have been an optional upgrade

Well worth the effort! What's going on with your wheel bolts though?

That looks a fantastic finish and a really unusual colour.
Just one question though, why were the bolts and stuff not removed before painting?
