Anyone know or have a sense whether a self-install or indi-install of the m performance brake upgrade kit will void its warranty or, worse, affect the broader warranty for the car?
Thanks. D

it would void the warranty only if they can show the brakes failed because of install. however, since they won't be F15 from the factory they will search from a service ticket for the install and if they find they didnt do it then they will do their best to not cover it. it will have no affect on overall warranty of car.

One potential hitch, I did not buy the car or the kit from the local dealer -- first BMW in 10 years I have not purchased from them; they would not deal. D

A quick update: everything seems to be fine, except I got tired of that ///M squealing pad noise. I think it only happens if you have f85 drilled rotor. So I'm looking now to swap my oem m pads (still 50% left) onto some softer pads - hoping noise will go away.
Read multiple threads and still no consensus on that squealing issue. A lot of opinions that "that's a ///M noise and get used to it (like all big brakes have it)". I'm still going to go for Bosch pads I found, hoping that cheaper pads will be softer and will stop that noise. |

I had been trying to order EBC GD1813 front rotor from Autoanything for the past few months. They keep canceling the order and said that back order from manufacturer with no confirm shipping date. I am going to give them one more months before I going to order F85 rotor.

I went with freemax blanks and have no squealing. They don't look as pretty but I love that they have no annoying sounds

Shortly after I installed them. Pads are oem ones, but they are used - the ones that came when I bought calipers. They were inside the calipers - so just reused them since about 60-70% of pad life was left. I'll order Bosch pads and I'll see if that will help. Also, it gets hot here 106F today. Maybe hot climate has something to do with it? Or maybe it's F85 drilled rotors - I've heard F85 owners complain too. Porsche even wrote a semi-scientific article explaining why bigger brakes will always be noisier and that it's normal apparently lol. I myself believe it's due to drilled F85 rotors - I probably need a softer pad (maybe with ceramic compound rather than semi-metallic pads). Not sure.

turns out its the pads because they're not chamfered. How did bmw think this would be ok a street car is beyond me but chamfered pads is a must in this day and age.
With that said has anyone done this upgrade and did the coding themselves? don't see anything on the coding threads on it.

Holy crap finally opened the boxes up from eBay of the F85 calipers and good god they're massive. Like half way up my leg when vertical massive. Pics to come shortly.
I do slightly regret getting them I will say. Sooooo many more options for pads for the MPBK. And these F85 pads are ENORMOUS. But oh well. Once I get them powder coated it will all look sick.

I just washed my wheels yesterday for the first time since the install and I was quite impressed with how clean they were even with a new break in. The price is a little hefty. For whatever reason most sites advertising the fronts still has the old pricing so there is a little price shock once you get the actual cost. IMO though, I'll pay that cost to not deal with squealing and dust. Good luck with your build/install of the kit. |

I went to another vendor and this time requested a quote stating what I saw on their website. They too contacted Carbotech and told me the list price is now much higher. However, this dealer gave me small discount so I got the fronts for $440 and the rear for $158. The new list price for the X5M fronts is $498! No idea why they went up $200. |
