This is awesome Raj. The M3 interior was always high on my list of priorities, I looked for a while but never did find a nice black one for a good price. One of my favourite cars on the forum - so subtle and tastefully done!

Raj you have great taste. I'm waiting on my car which is in for upgraded snails and Inlets.

Could you pm me what you paid and who you went to for the CF roof. I'm thinking of putting mine on a diet if I do the roof bonnet and boot I could drop 90kg

Still need an exhaust but haven't found anything I want yet.

Thanks Seb. Very appreciated on the comments. I've been looking for a while and just aired it out till the right one came up as it was never an urgent mod.

So as Sam is aware I've been biding my time getting these sorted. They unfortunately we're in a very sorry state and have cost me more than I originally thought it would.

These are how I got them:


They'd certainly seen better days but my thoughts were they'd just need to be repainted. Wasn't quite the case as needed a complete set of Pistons too.

But hey once rebuilt etc they couldn't look better. Basically brand new.



Then it was a matter of sourcing the discs and pads.

Luckily I've been at this game for quite sometime so have quite a good network of companies I've used and can source different components etc.

So I got the fronts discs / front and rear pads sourced through a good friend of mine so paid very little over cost for them which helped to offset against the piston cost I hadn't factored in.

Then off to another company that are ex-Alcon employees to have the front bells cleaned and then built up with the new discs and fixings.
They look beefy.


So I have everything for the fronts to go on so got it booked in for fitting.

The guys did a thorough job of fitting. They took their time and were methodical.

So out with the old:




Machined the hub face to ensure nice and clean/smooth:


New disc in place:


And that all important 6pot caliper:


In with the new:



Stopping power is superb after bedding in and no vibration or noise etc too. Proper brakes lol.

Just waiting on the custom rear bells to get the rears sorted too.

Thanks,

Raj.

Proper jealous raj. They look amazing. How much in total if you don't mind me asking?

People often ignore the brakes when modding, but it will feel awesome on track, and probably on road as well.

Hopefully one day i will hit the braking department as well. Congrats buddy

Will PM you buddy but it's worked out cheaper than buying them complete BUT still a lot of money lol.

For me chassis tuning has always been at the forefront of my modding.

Thanks. I love the subtlety of the colour I've gone with as unlike the BBKs on the X5 which are Rossa Corsa, they don't shout and are more discreet.

Yeah 100% prefer these to red. Red is nice on certain cars, but the subtle look here is perfect!

I did like the thought of going something more purposeful to show them off more but the Tenorite grey I've gone with is close to the Alcon colour of their CCX Carbon Ceramic kits.

Lol. Well tbh they cost way more than I hoped but it's all good.

Glad I've got there in the end with them. It's been a long journey lol.

Just got rears to sort now.

Yup has taken 11 months odd lol.

But that's the price to get it done at the cheapest amount lol. Enjoying the exhaust still buddy?

Loved the exhaust. Though it's gone now. Got myself an M3. I'll need to sort something with this exhaust as I was spoiled with the eisenmann on the 335i.
