That's also what I was wondering! On my previous car (E46 M3) the brakes were always humming and making noises! Original brakes on 335i are perfectly quite! How are the performance brakes? Noisy?

Yes, my car is in a need for a good polish!

Nope, they are for 325d or 320d, apparantley 335i, 330i and 330d)can have them only in the front (not sure though, as it seems weird, but that is what they told me at the service).

and dach anthrazite in black, that is all. the sills were ordered extra with the car, i asked the dealer if these things are marked as individual, do I get the sills, he said he will look into it, i ended up paying about €100 for it with the fitting. they look way better then the standard ones (that are plastic).

At first they were not noisey at all, very quiet, the feel is exactly the same when you brake normaly. If you push it extra hard, the car stops faster (at least it feels like that). After about two months they started squeeking, like always, even at highway speeds, when it was raining, always. had this checked, bmw told me that the material was not of good quality #@??? (which made me think) and they replaced the whole set (i believe only the pads) under warranty. since then (it's been a month) they are fine.
Not to forget they told me after two weeks time (after first fittment) that i should go easy on them at first. I believe it was too late by that time

so that could be the reason why it happened, though i doubt it.

Actually they are dark yellow with a metallic finish, not just plain yellow, the color looks fantastic

I love these rims, have seen some interesting ones, like those that look like from e46csl and the new performance wheels, however at the time I bought these they were not yet available. Still, am very happy with these rims

as they fit to the chromed stuff around door, less happy with run-flat tyres, should not have made a mistake and opted for those

So you can order the rear performance brakes for the E92 328's here in North America? I was under the impression you cant, so i just ordered the fronts.
