Since then i never ever managed to do that...dunno why? myabe the traffic....it was in the city center though.

I thought the brakes on the E60 with M kit have alot of clearance and are very good ventilated. Saw the channel in the bumper....
I want to do that but i'm kinda scared from my last accident and i'm too afraid what might happen to the car in all this trafic.

Still downloading the file...10kb/sec ((( Bad server...

Nope sorry, thinking back on it I've still not really posted a proper forum topic on the subject. AP Racing used my car as their e60 test bed, and created the biggest brake kit they could fit under the 18" MVs. They came up with 6 pot calipers with 362mm discs

I'm running that setup with Ferrodo DS2500 pads. I can assure you that the std disks would be glowing a whole lot more!!

These are the kind of brakes BMW's should have IMHO.

How much did the kit cost? Is it on the market?

Hi Folks

I was at Knockhill circuit on Saturday, and managed to compile some nice video. I've combined the video with data from my new DL1 data logger, so the video now shows track position, speed etc. Eventually it will show Revs, if I can work out how to wire it up!

Right Click, Save as (100mb)

Yip on the market - I got it at cost price being the 1st, with free fitting.

However there's a catch - they will not sell it outwith the UK due to TUV approvals or something like that.

We could arrange a group buy to get discount (I asked them), and get them all shipped to someone in the UK. If that person decided to send them to you, AP don't know anything about it , but there obviously is no warranty etc - so its a calculated risk.
