Retro-fit performance brakes

Hello,

Tested an M2C today, was awesome.

Some great deals about in UK and dealers are even giving away cheap PCP on used ones they're so keen for business.

I have only found one used car with the brake upgrade and that was a private seller and manual.

Can you get the brakes as an upgrade from dealership?

Cheers,

Nick

If it's a manual then it's the one!

Yes you can retrofit the brakes but it's about 5 grand in parts, you'd be better off buying a real brake kit (AP etc) than the BMW eye candy but not much use big heavy brake kit.

Not many UK used cars have them as they were not available to order from about September 18 to March 19 builds due to factory parts shortage.

I had to take them off my order in September to get the car built and I don't regret it one bit. Put some decent pads in the standard brakes and they are way bether that the BBK and about 25kg lighter too!

I believe in the UK that you get the smaller blue brakes as standard and if he upgraded to the big brakes, they could be be the red caliper color.. or possibly the silver ones too. And yes, they were an option when ordering the car.
