Those with the M Performance Brakes.... Question

Who did your install? (Bmw dealer or your own mechanic)

How did your brakes feels right after install?

Did you get your car coded for the brakes afterwards? (Bmw says coding is required for this kit)

Just got my car back and noticed that my pedal is slightly lower than before now. I was not expecting this. The car stops but again there is more pedal travel almost like there is still air in the lines. My installer is very good and assured me that the system is air free but this doesn't seem right. It is possible that my brakes still need to be bedded in and remove the coating on the rotors but I can't imagine this causing what I am noticing at the moment. I need to drive the car more to see if it improves since I only drove it a few miles home before.

Someone on the F30 forum said his pedal felt firmer after getting the car coded for his BMW sport brake upgrade kit.

Trying to avoid a trip to the dealer for them to charge me a few hundred bucks for something that takes a few minutes to do or I could do myself through coding....
