The only bad thing is that the duct just ends into the face of the spinning tire.. It does allow cooler / fresh air to enter the wheel well area, but by no means i would call them "brake cooling ducts" but they dont hurt either..
to add, i have the Perf Brakes on my car ( 6 piston brembos ) and i track 5-6 times a year.. my stock pads were pretty good, till i got better... better means bigger testicals to brake harder and later into some pretty wild corners at high rates of speed with your daily driver.. I run cool carbons for the spring to fall months, and stock pads for the winter.. cool carbons are def less dust.

Is it even possible to retrofit cooling ducts onto a (non-M-Sport) 128i?
I was at the track last week and my car felt really good - but I wanted more brakes. I think once you sort the suspension, that becomes the 128i's "weak link." So that'll probably be my next mod, I think...but it would be cool to add some ducting, if possible. I was also looking at vented backing plates and brake ducting hose, but I can't figure out a place to route it to to let air in...would consider swapping bumpers if needed.
