F87 M2 with M4/M3 Carbon Ceramic Brakes with weights

Ever since we collected our M2 we wanted to carry out this conversion. We hadn't seen it carried out before (found out the MOTO GP car had it afterwards!) but were confident it would be a straightforward as the M2 uses M3/M4 running gear. You can follow the car build on instagram @StarlaM2












We took the opportunity to weigh (KG) the components as we carried out the work.

Stock Front Caliper




Front Caliper for Ceramics




Stock Rear Caliper




Rear Caliper for Ceramics




Stock Front Disc




Ceramic Front Disc




Stock Rear Disc




Ceramic Rear Disc




The calipers weigh a total of 6.72 KG more but the discs are 14.98 KG lighter losing 3.96 KG of rotating mass on each front and 3.53 KG on each rear disc.

We are going to try to lose as much weight as possible off this car without stripping bits off it. Forged Wheels are next in stock sizes to shave of a few more KG's of rotating mass.
