If you would like to increase your brakes performance.

What kind of brakes system do you choose? (like:brembo, AP.......)

And WHY?

Thank you for your reply.

I think, there is no need to replace-modify the brakes, unless you upgrade your engine.
You can easily get a little better braking with fresh & wider tyres & softer organic pads.

P.S inform us about your ride.

The BMW brakes are excellent. You would need a very good reason to try to improve on them--mainly, IMO, if you were going to be on a track. But, Brembo, yes, makes very good brakes.

What do you mean by brake performance?

If you want to improve stopping distance (i.e., shorten the distance to stop from, say, 100mph to 0mph), then you should look at upgrading your tires -- e.g. get slicks or Hoosiers, or some other really sticky (non-street) type rubber. Believe it or not, your tires stop the car; not your brakes (brakes only stop the wheels).

Conversely, if you wan to improve brake fade, then yes upgrading to an aftermarket kit (e.g. Brembos) with slotted, ionized rotors, bigger/more pistons, better lines, higher DOT fluids, larger (and often noisier) brake pads, will do the trick. Lots of options here, can buy a complete system or do a la carte and pick and choose which components you want from different manufacturers.

Good luck with it.
