F8x M3/M4 Ceramic brakes on M2C?
I did a Google search and forum search and couldn't find an answer. Maybe I missed it.
Will rotors and pads from the ceramic setup fit over to the M2C or are other modifications required? |

I may or may not have looked into this as a potential upgrade before ... the discs and pads should be a plug and play for the M2C. There were some posts asking if getting the brake booster for the CCBs were required and also getting your car coded through ISTA for CCBs if you wanted optimal braking and wear on the CCBs.. and if I were upgrading to CCBs and it was already costing an arm and a leg, I'd do them both personally.. It shouldn't cost that much more. Also the calipers come in that nice meridian gold color and have titanium pistons instead of steel pistons on our 2NH brakes which is a plus

If you're primarily interested in weight savings, and particularly if you plan to ever track your car, you need to check out our AP Racing by Essex Competition Brake Kits before dumping any money into CCB discs. Our brake kit shaves almost 40 unsprung pounds vs. the iron M2C brakes, they allow you to run lightweight 18" wheels/tires (saving even more weight), they give you a whole bunch more flexibility with pad choice, and they will cost a fraction as much as the carbon ceramic discs and pads in the long-run. They have a whole bunch of other benefits as well. We have a small army of M2/M3/M4 owners running our kits, and you can see lots of feedback on our Essex Blog.
If you're just looking for something to fill up the wheels for road use, then please ignore the above. |

For the brake booster, everything I've read makes be think you definitely need this due to the need of a different clamping force for the CCBs. Though I'm not sure why it's used on the m235i. It's only used on that one, not the m235xi or any other version of the f22. https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/par...999&series=F22 This thread has the pdf for the CCB technical stuff that details the differences and justifications for them. 5.3 talks about the booster. https://f10.m5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=821498 |
