Thought this would be the right place to show this, any of you seen this video before, really incredible the process for making these brakes.

I've gone for the standard upgraded steel brakes for several reasons
1. cost 2. It looks like for street driving the steels brakes have less risk of squeal and don't need to be warmed up or have lesser efficacy in wet conditions 3. Even if I were to consider tracking I've seen the joe Achilles view that the CCBs for the CS are too large for the wheel size which means they overheat and render the car not workable after some time under track conditions (which seems against the whole point of the CCBs) In these situations the only reasons I can see for the CCBs are the 1. Look of the gold callipers 2. Exclusivity to CS Both seems pretty questionable reasons unless you don't have anything better to spend the money on. |

Edit: https://www.carscoops.com/2019/03/wa...for-track-use/ It seems like it's degrading very fast on track. Sounds like an quite confusing option when it's designed for track but not actually recommended for track.

Equal braking, less thermal variance in performance, no brake dust, lighter weight, don't rust, longer life, look really good. Squeal seems to be limited by propper bed in. Don't underestimate how long of a process this is, and can't be found in any bmw literature. Look to Corvette forum. Initial wet weather bite is reduced. This appears to be real, adapting your driving style to this phenomenan seems to be the cure. Bed in may help and so may choosing I different brake pad compound. It's due to s slightly longer time required to get heat into brakes. I had this same issue with steal brakes on my Jaguar. It's not a fun feeling. Why I didn't equip: 1. Cost 2. Worry 3. Wet weather performance since this is DD. Worrying about getting a chipped rotor from road debris, reducing life with hard driving, ensuring pad replacement at 50% life, degraded wet weather performance. Not being able to buy my tires at Costco for fear they chip a rotor. Last edited by medphysdave; 10-05-2020 at 05:48 AM.. |

The only drawback is cost. I have had multiple carbon brake vehicles and the wet performance is no worse than steel brake cars. All cars initial bite is reduced when it's wet, Mercedes has been dragging their pads in the rain for many years to prevent this.
Yes, they are expensive if you track the car a lot. If you don't track it then they are actually a maintenance free brake setup as 99.9% of us will never wear the rotors or even pads out. They don't wear out by time....ask yourself, are you going to put 100k plus miles on this car? I doubt I'll put 10k on it.... Iron brakes produce loads of dust, like more than any other manufacturer I have ever seen. Carbon, close to zero. They are lighter and it is noticeable. They bite better, they resist fade better (if you track it). They are just a much nicer brake system. As I said, the only real drawback is cost, everything else is justification for not getting them. I am a huge carbon brake fan for street use. Track use, it's a bad financial decision not to swap to steel rotors. Girodisc makes a steel rotor kit that fits the carbon system calipers on 911's. That's the good play. |

good deal on rotors if these are correct size. $11k for rotors and calipers.

My guess is that they offer them either to try and recoup some of their racing development costs or more likely b/c people said they really want them and are willing to pay. |

If you are going to daily, CCB.
If you are going to track, Steel. If you are going to occasional track, CCB. If you are are keeping the car forever, steel or CCB. Ived owned numerous cars with CCBs and this my experience and opinion. What you read in the internet are worst case scenarios. Eventually the gap in cost will be narrowed in the future jusy like anything else. Of the CCBs that I have owned, I can rate the CCBs from best to least better. 1. BMW 2. Ferrari 3. Porsche Thats why I ordered again the CCB in the CS. But I am thinking about changing it and making it a DCT since this would be a track car more than a family car for me.

I think you are right about the CCB. I think there is far more positive experience that you don't hear about. They the discs are more delicate, but maybe the scenerios like rock damage are overblown. I decided to get steel and if I still yearn for them I'll add CCM discs later. |

I changed my mind. Decided to go for the CCB's. It'll be nice having the lightest possible M2.
I've heard concern about certain wheel cleaning chemicals being bad for the finish on the rotors. Anyone know if there is any truth to that? I'm planning to either do a stud conversion or use a pin or two in place of a wheel bolt when taking the wheels off. I asked my BMW master tech friend (been a BMW tech for over 18 years) about the official BMW dolly system referenced in this thread for wheel removal. He laughed for a second and said 'we don't even have one. Just be careful'. He also point out that the backing plate behind the rotor would protect the disc if you were to really mess up and drop the wheel while removing or installing. At any rate, I'm not concerned. Excited for my MB on Gold/Gold! bling bling! hahaha

BMW material states to use PH neutral and non acidic wheel cleaner. Other sources I read or viewed said to not get any soaps with gloss enhancers on the rotor either, so be careful with foam guns.

I took all ///M2CSoptions except two:
-the carbon brakes are not essential they reduce the unsprung masses but do not brake better than the steel brakes and are very fragile and very expensive

The only scary thing about them is the price. They are THE BEST brakes, M2CS cars with them optioned will be the ULTIMATE M2s. People saying they didn't option them because they might melt when unicorn wheel cleaner isn't used are really saying "I'd love them but didn't want to pay to play" If you want the absolute ultimate factory M2CS then get 'em. If you still want to buy the pinnacle of what BMWs can currently squeeze out of a road car then just get the steels - big win either way! |
