Hi all,
Thanks to have revived my thread ;-)
Indeed a bit long, sorry ! I started with separate threads and then realized that all topics are inter-dependent....
Thanks for your good advice.
Somme clarifications :
- the dealer I mentioned is not the BMW dealer, but passionate specialist who regularly races Porsches & also a prepared Mini JCW. I think he knows what he is talking about, athough he does not know the M2 specifically and is certainly influenced by his own experience ;-)
- His advise was also to go on track the 1st time with full oem and then adapt depending on the reaction of the car and of my own driving style
- I could live with the idea of racing with oem initially, but I have read several posts stating that they destroyed their M2 rotors or faded the brakes before the end of the 1st day, so I do not want to take that risk. In addition I have already booked 3 track days this year, so it is worth investing a little in pads & fluid. I went on track last year with my Porsche 996 Turbo and "lost" my brakes after my 3rd run, so this is a real concern for me
nd2002, do you refer to the M2 (oem brakes & tires) specifically ?
The idea of buying specific rotors is a good one indeed. Will avoid using pads and rotors with different wear profiles. Was also recommended to me yesterday night by a brake expert.
I will attend the BMW Intensive M training but it will only be in October so I also consider investing now a few €€€ in a karting session with a coach to learn breaking before my 1st track day with the M2 ;-)
