Anyone has any experience with F15 M performance brakes and the cheapest place to buy a set?

They are about $2400 plus $700 to install and code.

I was able to find him, but turns out he went with MiniCooper and his brakes are not compatible to x5. Sorry bud. Try MPBK ones - I've heard they fit a lot better.

To increase master cylinder pump force for bigger brakes. You VO code F series for many years now, including brakes, stop signals and even a damn windshield. I'm not joking - windshield in x5 during replacement has to be coded and calibrated for KAFAS cameras that control numerous things like lane departure, stop-n-go assist, sign recognition etc. Tesla has nothing on BMW when it comes to sheer amount of coding involved lol.

I am having my bbk & steel brake lines put on Friday, do you have a direct link to an article that explains what all needs to be done as far as coding?
