<3 The 135i brakes

[Nugget]

The brakes are very good for a few hard stops. But I was surprised how easily I could get them to fade, and the dust!!

I agree, they aren't track worthy but day to day they are quite amazing to have.

Got st coils and vb3s. And got my fenders rolled cuz I'm running 265s in the back lol.

I'll make a post later on with pics after it settles and get an alignment

Fully agree with this. I figured brembos that dusted like this would be fine for a little track time but soon found out fade was still a big issue.

128 guys don't freak out about a single panic stop as everyone has said the tires make the biggest difference.

Car and driver for example from 70mph did 157 feet with a 135 and vs 163 for a 128...Not exactly night and day. Figure those 6 feet are probably made up with the bigger 215/245 vs 205/225 tires....Now do that 5 times in a row and i'm sure the difference would be much bigger. But that's not generally how it works in the real world...

I personally hated my first set of brakes as they were extremely touchy and grabby. i.e. the first time anyone drove my car they'd put the passenger through the front window. However, once my pads and rotors were changed at 29k it was much more progressive and normal feeling.

Congrats! Can't wait to see it in pics and hopefully in person soon!

I hope we all get to go to that air strip again soon!

Edit: just looked at the VB3s and those are some HAWT CSL reps! What color did you go with?

I know!, I've missed the last 2 drives.

Thanks, I went with Silver. Didn't wanna go with black or gunmetal

By just swapping the OEM fluid with a high boiling point racing fluid will make a big difference in fade rsistance. I use Motul RBF600 in my cars.

good to hear that you and your 1 are ok.. nothing sucks more than going out on a Sunday to enjoy your time and coming back home with either a speeding ticket or an accident.
