Want to upgrade the brakes on the car sometime in the next 3 months so they will take 2-3 trackdays per year - on top of this I do abot 5k miles pa.

Currently they are all factory / BMW standard, so it is a completele upgrade.

What do I go for ? Would need them fitted by someone (I'm no mechanic !)....

Also - does fitting different brakes affect the BMW warranty which I have ? (heard horror stories on Porsche's)

Cheers

BMW are good with this sort of thing. Worse these are all i am sure acceptable to them, not even really modded

Any good garage can do this sort of stuff, just get them to bleed it to a really firm pedal feel


Pagid Pads for OEM (RS14, RS29)
Goodridge Braided Lines
DOT 5.1 or better fluid
