I hate to break the news, I have been following this thread regarding the brakes.
But, now I have to break the news which Z know about it. For you who bought a brand new set so called MPBK (M Performance Brake Kit), you guys got fooled by BMW. The MPBK is actually E70 X5M / E71 X6M stock brakes. The latest version came in blue painted front and black rear, that why Z got that color combo. The kit on his car came off from 11 miles X5M, which I got for a killer deal and even before the MPBK was released. I hope that cleared the confusion why the rear was black, and not blue as atomic80 and wdimageneer. I guess it cost a few hundred extra to have the rear caliper in blue.

@Opasha, cost difference is just a matter of finding a good deal on the low mileage used set. I was dead lucky on that set.
Technology wise, I do prefer the Brembo as they are 6 pistons front and 4 pistons rear. I know that it is overkill, but it is braking system, there is not such thing as a shame or waste on being able to stop at shorter distance.

Wow Don't know how I miss this thread! What a beautiful ride Ray, I agree going aftermarket definitely stands out more than OEM offerings. I thought you need a drop with these 22's, but it is really fine as it is after seeing these pictures.
These AC wheels really need large brakes since the spokes are so thin and far apart. I think you already got every angles covered. =) congrats!! I have my eyes set on Hamann anniversary Evo and Hartge classic 2 right now, I think Hartge wheels are forged so that might sways my decision a bit. =) Last edited by cy07; 08-13-2014 at 01:47 PM.. |

Hi all,
What is the size of the front rotors on the M performance brake kit ? Are they as big as the Brembo ? I'm bit surprised they're not cross drilled ? |

Mine are non-staggered 40 all the way around. If these are staggered 22x10, 22x11 - the offset should be 40 front, 35 rear to my knowledge. Or at least something very close to that so they don't stick out of the fender.
