Performance Friction BBK on 335i - any info?
I'm currently in the process of finalising my decision on a brake upgrade. I've been offered the possibility to obtain a BBK (big brake kit) from Performance Friction (click here) substantially under their list price (which is extremely high - around 7000 EUR). Here's also a photo of one of the discs plus caliper installed:
A short while back I've read an extensive article about their BBK for the 135i which is probably quite close to the one for our cars, see here: MOTIQ magazine - Performance Friction BBK detailed review Following this article there was a bit of discussion over at 1addicts (see this link (135i discussion about Performance Friction BBK)), in particular involving Berk that have lots of experience in this segment. I also know that Alpina contemplated this BBK for their recent limited edition model B3 S Biturbo GT3, but in the end chose a competitor due to cost issues (although apparently the PFC set performed better). Does anyone have experience with their brakes here? Alpina_B3_Lux

Wow those look nice. I personally wouldn't go with dimpled, I had some on my last car and it made a popping sound (similar to a 18 speed bike). Trapped gases get in the dimples, which can make that sound and overtime I could start to eat at you.

Alright the question is rather moot now anyway - the BBK will go onto my car tomorrow, along with the Öhlins suspension. Looking forward to trying it out on the Nürburgring this spring.

Less than what? Than what I paid? That is not possible. You would have to pay the full price now, unfortunately.
