M Performance brake option question
We have an 118D M Sport coming soon, I'd like to add some extra M performance parts like the carbon mirrors, black grills, exhaust tips and brakes.
Now about the brakes: will these fit the standard 18" M sport wheels or will 19" be needed to fit these? What are the best fitments to be had in 19" 8,5 et 35 front and rear? Advise would be welcome |

The M Performance brakes need an 18" wheel size minimum.

The stopping power and pedal feel of the regular brakes are also very good. I guess the advantage of the performance brakes is that they are less likely to fade when you do a series of hard stops. There is a lot more unsprung weight with the big brakes, though. For people who are planning to do track days, the performance brakes are probably a good idea, but for normal driving, the regular brakes will perhaps be better.

I wouldn't choose this as a performance add-on, but rather as a cosmetic one. I found the blue M sport brakes as build option looking way too weird with a Valencia Orange exterior. The gold brakes complement better with this color, just look at the M6 in Sakhir Orange with ceramic brakes. Hot as ..
