Brakes are unbelievable.
I actually properly bed the brakes and I can tell you guys there is just no comparison between this car and the old M3. Some of it could be the PSS tires vs the PS2s in my old M3, but regardless, this car just surprised me on more than one occasion now when it came to stopping. In fact, the brake pedal is way too sensitive and it stops way too quickly!
This is the steel brakes btw. I m not sure how these will work in the race track. We'll see soon |

Steel or CCBs?
Sorry, I'm an idiot. Missed the last part of the post.

The true test of a performance brake system is how it resists fading, and by all accounts, the steel brakes are doing a damn fine job of resisting fading. |

I'm just waiting to here how the dimples in the rotor are not exactly symmetric ...

Most of how the brakes feel is dependent on the pad and tires.

Yes, the content on this forum is all relevant and meaningful, and it must be carefully edited by the poster. You didn't read that in the instructions?

It's not the tires. I've got PSS, and lighter wheels on my E92, and the M4 I test drove is a step above. Feels very close to my friends 991C2S, which had excellent brakes.

I don't think there is any part of this car BMW hasn't hired a heavenly choir of engineers, marketing guys and journalists to croon about. The hype is strong with this one.

Really? You've read praise from BMW about the non-CCB brakes? Pray tell.
For street driving, these brakes are phenomenal and I can't wait to break them in myself. What combination of master cylinder + brake lines + hydraulic pressure + caliper design + pad design they went with just results in ridiculous pedal feel. |

The M3 is no 911 in this regard, but I'd say they've gotten the car to a pretty good place (certainly best-in-class) in terms of the characteristics listed above. |
