My OLD dinosaur Porsche 964 brakes are phenomenal. You brake, they engage, then you press harder and they feel like braking power increases linearly.
I have owned many BMWs, and have never really liked the brakes. But these take the cake for the worst, most grabby, unpredictable ///M brakes I've ever had. I think my E36 M3 had better brakes than this. They are very poor on modulation although they have good stopping power. They are grabby.
The 964 has 4 pot calipers. I might be wrong but these BMW brakes look like single-pots. But the rotors are huge. They look like they should be able to brake alright. I mean, my Z4 2.5i brakes alright and it's just a smaller version of the Z4MC, right? What makes the 911s brake so nice? and this so bad?
Aside from a big brake kit, what can I do? I'd rather buy a dirt bike than spend $4000 on brakes.
I think this is the only disappointment for me, having purchased my Z4MC recently. The motor and the handling are all really nice and it's a great GT car to complement my 911. The brakes... Brakes are for wussies... and I'm a wussy.:)
