while I too would rather have BBKs on the Ms, I will say that at M school we put the cars through all the extremes continuously all day and they never fade, for real world applications, they are great

My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
Please tell me that the M5/6 have bigger brakes with more pistons than the M3. Those cars are way heavier and more powerful than the 3er and would need bigger beefier brakes to compensate.

Then again, my underlying point was really applicable to BMW in general, not the M's specifically. BMW brakes in general seem to be more prone to fade than they really ought to be.

I'll be honest, the 370z is a hell of a beauty car, when its alone. When you stop at a red light and an E46 or E90 M3 comes, it just looses its make up, and the heads turn to the M3 more I think. Get what ever YOU want !
