128i brake thread (stopping distance)

kobeballer96 · 10-26-2014, 12:09 PM

I was wondering what everyone else car was timing/distance when it came to stopping. So far I been really impressive for my street pads on this car and feel that it holds up pretty great, on and off the track basically a daily driving pad. Be mindful I'm not talking about BBK or the 135i Brembos just the 128i brakes. Here's a video of mine and tell me what you think. It was a chilly night outside and I was bored lol so I made a video.

Braking performance is almost entirely dictated by tires.

what he said. the less the grip the more abs kicks in thus the longer the stopping distance. given that you have bfg rivals, it's supposed to stop you pretty shortly

Must be my tires lol no abs really stops pretty damn fast!

Tires and weight. For repeated hard stops, cooling also makes a difference.

Any way we can make this objective for a simple comparison list?

Not really, especially seeing as the intro post is discussing something that has nothing to do with stopping distances.
