The Brembos that come on our 135i cars are mostly show. They're pretty good on street, but they're not great for frequent track usage. A lot of 135i owners around here even switch to the 335i brakes, which don't look impressive, but are actually better. |
I beg to differ. I circuit track my car at COTA and the oem 6 Piston Brembos with Yellow Stuff Track Pads with R1 Concept Slotted Rotors are freaking powerful. |
The stock 135i calipers use ceramic piston inserts which crack and crumble to dust. It's been a well known and common issue since the car released in 2008. There's a couple other solutions to this besides swapping out new calipers. Stoptech makes a compatible piston and seal kit which eliminates the issue
