Sure, my bad. The drove all cars on the Nürburgring GP track. Both the AC Schnitzer and the Evotech 135i suffered from overheating brakes while the M3 performed pretty much flawless. You're probably right that the key to this difference are the bigger and drilled brake discs.

Behind the polished wheels lies
the M3's drilled secret of success.

As good as the wheels are looking,
the brakes aren't up to the task.

About both 135's: The OEM brakes are prone to overheat and thus turn out to be both cars' Achilles' heel.
